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
