Evaluation
Milky Way Prince – The Vampire Star launched on August 13, 2020 as a self-contained visual novel created entirely by a single author, Lorenzo Redaelli. The only DLC ever released was its soundtrack, which shipped alongside the game on the same day. No additional story content, expansions, or updates have been announced or released since launch. Developer news posted through the Milky Way Prince store page focuses entirely on the publisher Santa Ragione's subsequent titles — Saturnalia (announced May 2023) and Mediterranea Inferno, a new game by the same author that launched August 25, 2023. Neither of these posts references any planned additions to Milky Way Prince itself. The game launched as a complete, finished product and has remained so since August 13, 2020.

About this game
A visual novel about an abusive relationship, idealization, and intimacy.
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.
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."
