A visual novel about an abusive relationship, idealization, and intimacy.
An emotional whirlwind
Live a summer of dysfunctional love through branching storylines, twists, sudden changes, and a special mechanic where you choose which senses to use with your boyfriend. In these moments, you will learn about him, his personality, and his past, making you question everything.
Based on a true story
Milky Way Prince is entirely designed, programmed, illustrated, and scored by a very young author, Lorenzo Redaelli. The story itself is partially autobiographical.
"During my experience with a borderline partner, I thought that falling in love with him was like becoming part of a binary star system. It’s the rarest, most precious thing in the universe – but the closer they get the more unstable they become. My idea was to create an immersive experience where the player is asked to try to understand the dynamics of this unusual relationship. The character you interact with adapts their behavior to yours – using academic terminology, they could set up “rage tests”, “love bombing", or otherwise guilt trip you. The plot's branching storyline is guided by variables such as “submission” and "interest” that fluctuate at each interaction."

WARNING
This game contains representation of abuse and borderline personality disorder that some may find distressing or disturbing, including those who may have had similar experiences.
I really loved this game. The trippy art and music and the clever use of mechanics create an unusual empathic experience. It explores the themes of BPD and abusive relationships in a heartbreaking yet responsible way.
It helped me understand my past experiences in similar (but less extreme) relationships.
This is not a game for everyone, and you need to know what you're getting into, but for me it was one of the most emotionally powerful gaming experiences in my life.
This vn really hit at the core of the complexities and depth of romance with another
