    It won't be all clean and perfect, but it carries on a complex story with honesty and intransigence by pumping blood through the veins of its characters.

    Raedelli has found the right language and the most suitable visual choices to transform into a code an experience that marks forever, and that emerges with harsh reality in the final stages of the game.

    As an experience, Milky Way Prince is experimental, entirely unique and one that I’m glad exists. I imagine it’ll hang in the subconscious of most people who give it the time of day, but the subject matter will be too much for some to bear.

    Milky Way Prince - The Vampire Star is unconventional, adult, bold, and aims quite high, maybe even too high for the first experiment of a one-man studio. Many elements of the plot are just sketched, so sometimes it's hard to feel involved with the two young lovers. The sections where the player choose the sense to interact with are interesting, but unfortunately followed by slow paced moments with not that much to do. If you are not afraid to be more of an onlooker than a player, this game is easy to recommend. And it’s short, so you’ll have no excuse not to finish it.

    This Visual Novel feels exciting and different but deals with a lot of heavy stuff. Give it a try!
