unlabelledView post →At first, I don't have any kind of mental disorder, so I can't give a first hand impression on this perspective, but I had a relationship with someone who suffered from diagnosed NPD a few years ago, have friends with BPD and am quite educated on Cluster-B disorders. It's harsh to portrait someone with BPD as a demon or vampire who sucks out your life. Mental disorder associated behaviors are most of the time not intentionally evil and people who suffer from Cluster-B disorders build a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although the protagonists are male, it is not the focal point of the game. But rather their toxic and dysfunctional relationship, a situation that nowadays happens more and more often and from which it is hard to get out. I'm enjoying everything about this visual novel, good graphics, mind tripping sound and an engaging story. My vote 9/10 even if I consider the price too high due to the duration of the game. about 3 hours.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing status: 100% achievement Grindy Achievement(s): No. Optional Achievement(s): Yes (~12 achievements). Difficult Achievement(s): No. Intro Milky Way Prince – The Vampire Star is a visual novel about a toxic relationship. It tells the story of two young men that are interested in each other, revealing their secret from time to time from a short encounter. Pros: - 3 endings - Nice representation of how the character feels Cons: - The symbolism might make it hard for those who never…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was brought to my attention by someone who is very dear to me. My first time playing through it was in their company. I remember it leaving a deep mark on me, despite the fact my attention was split between the game and my friend. Years later, I revisited it on my own, explored all three of the available endings, and let the story wash over me at the pace it deserved. I savored every word, color, detail, sound cue, and silence. Minute and pivotal moments alike nestled in my mind,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sometimes I get reminded of the great golden days: unending sunlight, warm and sweaty nights and the intoxicating smell of the sea. I feel very strongly about this game; it is one of the worst experiences I went through and I could never for the life of me play it again. There is no greater way to humble yourself than by looking at the mirror
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just... Don't get it. I can't bring myself to complete more of this game when I have so many quality titles in my library that I've yet to play. This visual novel... If you can really call it that, feels very disjointed. There are repeated 'gameplay' elements that don't really make sense. Cryptic code flashes on screen often. It feels like it's going for a smart, symbolic feel, but to me it came off as very pretentious and 'I'm 12 and this is deep.' In the 1 hour I have played, months of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Little bit of mixed feelings. I would say game does remarkable job of building heavy atmosphere. It can be beautiful and ugly at the same time. In a good way. What made biggest imprison on me was sort of twist in convention. Its probably not the first time its done, but its done very well. In most VN about relationships we expect some obstacles that we can eventually overcome. Happy ever after. Thats usually Good Ending. In "Milky Way Prince..." Good Ending is getting out of toxic…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is an insult to those with mental health issues and bpd, an insult to good writing, an insult to editors as shown by the numerous points of terrible audio balancing throughout the game and it's an insult to good games. You're actively punished for doing the right thing, especially when following instructions/guides on handling those with BPD like the character: Sune has. None of the characters are written well and the artstyle is weak on top of having terrible music. What a waste of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Getting into this game you hope it'll be romantic or a bit moving, but it's very hard to get through and quite pretentious. Then getting deeper into the story, it's like listening to some grown adult in a toxic relationship act manic+melancholy like a drugged out teen and justify why their abuse is okay because everything else is so special and beautiful about their love, but it's all co-dependency... and again such a slow, pretentious way to portray it. Main character is a doormat. Yeah…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →well, the game has a nice visual style, and also the music. but i really didn't like the low variability and the slowness of the game. at least give us a skip to the next choice, but overall it's mid i guess
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →my brain hurts in the best way and I cried a lot 12/10 needed a game like this so much. Art and music is beautiful. Very accurate depiction of a toxic relationship. I think the portrayal of bpd was accurate too. Literally have 0 faults I'm so glad I played this
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →whoever made this needs help, great art tho
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you’re lgbt and/or have experienced a toxic relationship, maybe you’d be able to relate and enjoy this visual novel, but for most people this is a skip. for a one-person project, this is a solid product because of it’s visual design and pacing. however, the plot fell flat for me since the character development and motives weren’t fully fleshed out. i understand the author was going for a story of how someone can be sucked into and want to stay in a toxic relationship, but the writing was…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there's a single review talking about the telescope after Transfusion Time that literally ejaculates a star like... That is a ballsy metaphor if you know what I mean. :P
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the gameplay is a new take on a visual novel, the story is really heavy and the style is beautiful. I loved most of it but some parts were a bit too much for me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I figured I could live with the bad graphics, because the premise of the story seemed REALLY intresting. ...I guess I forgot how damned stupid the average human is. I HATE the main character! Deeply! He never knows when to effing shut up and leave well enough alone. I am not a fan of playing the dominant role, nor someone with a hero-complex, but those are minor details I could have lived with. The complete and utter inabillity to just shut up and be there for someone who has problems without…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →That game destroyed me Now im even more empty inside Love it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This tale demands more depth. It needed more time devoted to developing its world and characters. With greater care in these areas, the result could have been a deeply harrowing and emotionally powerful story. As it stands, Milky Way Prince feels like a significant missed opportunity. Milky Way Prince: The Vampire Star employs an experimental visual style to tackle a subject that is difficult to address, and while it succeeds in communicating its themes, the experience often feels hollow and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have Borderline and this hits hard. Very relatable to me. It's a simple and smaller game, yet very deep. There is a lot of detail as well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was a hauntingly beautiful and uncomfortable experience. The art while simpler go along with the atmosphere of this visual novel perfectly and help enhance your focus on the story. As someone who's been like our main character and was with someone who had BPD and was toxic and emotionally abusive it really hit home, especially the need to try and be their saviour and help them get better. And although I personally related to the main character more given my personal experiences, I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very depressing, very gay, nearly cried
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game straight up traumatized me and I loved it. I see a lot of reviews bringing up the fact people might confuse BPD with being a monster because of the storyline, which, fair, can be a mistake made by the player. But to be honest, I've played it several months ago now, and I completely forgot the monster thing because it isn't the take I got out with. You have to keep in mind this is an ADULT game. You will need critical thinking. There is a difference between perception - as, in this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've completed one playthrough of this game, and I can't quite tell if I like it or not. It's definitely not the kind of game you can recommend to your friends. It's beautiful, dark, and moving. Being someone with BPD, it hit me in a lot of negative ways. Honestly, I don't think it was good for my mental health, and at one point I had to stop playing just to process and decide if I was in a good enough place mentally to continue. It's an experience, and one of the most devastating visual novels…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved it. So sensitive and understanding of all its characters. Made me feel seen as someone who lived through a similarly short-but-intense relationship with someone similar to Sune in their struggles. I'm very glad this game exists in the world.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Story starts to fall apart and become uncompelling right after the demo finishes. It does not handle the heavier themes and topics with skill. DO NOT recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A choose your own adventure about a young twink that sticks his d*ck in crazy and it ends up one of three ways for him. Nuki fetishizes his ideal man as the Milky Way Prince, does this mean he likes a man with a thick dark c*ck that is filled with delicious vanilla nougat goodness or that he is refined stoic character that traveled through the universe like The Starman David Bowie. No, he is a bug collecting EMO kid named Senna who likes to cut himself and cry a lot. This is not about…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's hard to really explain this "game" other than saying it's an experience. Note: To have the full experience, I recommend playing through it blind for the first time, and then replaying it for the good ending at least-- if you didn't get the good ending the first time around. My own note: As someone who suffers from similar mental health issues as the main characters, this was a game that really hit home. I could connect with the thoughts and emotions that both characters were going…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Milky Way Prince – The Vampire Star is an emotionally intense visual novel that explores toxic love, emotional dependency, psychological instability, and the painful complexity of abusive relationships through a deeply personal and artistic narrative. Rather than presenting romance as comforting escapism or idealized fantasy, the game focuses on the darker emotional realities of obsession, manipulation, loneliness, and self-destruction. The experience is often uncomfortable, emotionally…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The start is way too cringey to continue it, and deffo not worth the steep cost.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed the Experimental story telling of this game and the visuals were absolutely beautiful. I don't have bpd so i can't comment on how well the disorder is presented but reading other comments i see that it could maybe have been presented a bit better. I do think that both individuals suffer from mental disorders and just generally aren't having a good time in life and yes, that can indeed cause a toxic situation. Other than that, a bit clanky in the beginning but overall i liked…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I experienced a mix of emotions and truly enjoyed the story, especially the different directions it could go. It might not be for everyone, but seeing everything unfold kept me on the edge of my seat. I found myself stressing over all the choices I made haha
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ignore my playtime, i´ve beaten this on console multiple times! Extremely charming VN with a dark twist. Eyeguys work is just amazing. Also... 200th review! Hooray!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was fine! An interesting, artsy, and dark little game. I purposely tried to get the bad ending, and that was intriguing. I could relate to bits of it, but also found it confusing. Still, I think that's the point. Our minds ARE confusing palaces. Best if you get it on sale, though. The trailer hooked me but I wasn't as compelled by the whole story. Great music! Added it to several playlists on Spotify.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A review coming from a gay man who has been through a relationship with other BPD partners, this story did nothing but make me feel empathy for the ones who had to have been put through the type of emotional abuse that these people put them through, it's not the mental illness but lack of self-awareness and abundance of selfishness that these people carry daily that put innocent people through these experiences to jade their view of relationships and love, the antagonist of the story has no…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played trough the game on the steam deck without any issues at all. This game is something else. I only got 1 ending and plan to keep it that way. This game had some relatable items in it and something else. The one thing that really changes the game is the other perspective. I wont say much but its quite impactfull. The game isnt for everyone but thats okay. I feel like the game is best experienced in 1 sitting. It took me about 2 hours. The game can get very intense. The game deals with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →did not expect to be emotionally crushed. short, but fun and well-written. dialogue is sometimes a bit flowery, but helps with the unnatural and fantastical tone.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I recommend it. Even more so if you feel like crushing your own heart under a fluffing Red Giant! How can that be the happy ending? T . T Aaaaahhhhh. It's a little short. But that makes it possible to for you to break your heart many times fast - while trying to find the happy ending - bonus!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was that fateful night, the night I chose to play this game, that my bum flaps rapidly accelerated in opposite directions, exposing my red, gaping anus. I bent over, grabbed firmly my ankles, and sh!t so hard on this game that nobody ever bought it again. At least, I hope they don't, because it sucks more than the entire Dyson company.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Depressing, but necessary. I'm shocked by how few reviews there are for this! This is honestly one of the better small-scale visual novels on the market, and it's namely attributed by its heavy themes. Emotional abuse is something we all experience at one point or another in our lives. Not necessarily in a romantic context, but they're often applicable between settings without much in the way of change. It's also something we refuse to talk about even today, when mental health is at its most…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It made me cry, it represents my situation and i relate to nuki sm, especially at the end, where i 'found' myself, trying to stay positive i guess. it reminds me of that book the little prince sm, the art story and all. It turned dark pretty quickly too, i expected something lighter, nonetheless i reccommend it, you just need to learn to let people go and go on with your life.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Uncomfortably accurate depiction of what its like to be emotionally close with someone who has BPD or an adjacent disorder, to the point that specific details i had assumed were unique to my experience were captured and relayed back to me perfectly. The atmosphere of the game is really good. The dialogue is very natural and realistic imo. I highly recommend this to anyone willing to spend an hour or two to play it through.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i was skeptical at first but atfer finishing the whole game i actually really like it!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I walked into this game with little expectation because visual novels aren’t really my thing. "Milky Way Prince - The Vampire Star" completely took me by surprise & then had me in tears. As a queer streamer who lives with mental health struggles, I didn’t expect a game this short to resonate so deeply. It’s raw, emotional & unafraid to tell a difficult story about love, vulnerability & control. By the time I reached the end, I wasn’t just immersed...I was hoping for healing, wishing for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not good at this yooo
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you like playing through a terrible, toxic relationship with codependent and overly possesive tones, ig this is the game for you. a much darker story than i thought, im not too sure if i really liked this game. still, would reccomend just for the expeierience
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, let me say that this is not a typical "romance" "game". In fact, it's quite the opposite. Also it would be more accurate to describe it as a VIsual Novel than a game. Milky Way Prince - The Vampire Star is a story that will be bizarre and make no sense to some people. However, if you have ever been involved with a toxic partner and struggled with your mental health at the same time, you may be able to relate to the story. The game warns players on the loading screen to tread…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Visual symbolism and similarities with 'Devilman: Crybaby' were cool, Nuki is low-key relatable in certain moments, but other than that the story didn't captivate me that much. The development of the relationship was too fast, and the themes seemed overly focused on sex, but maybe I just can't relate personally. And on top of that the BPD portrayal was demonic. It could have been done much better.
