Indie point and click adventure
Milkmaid of the Milky Way is an indie point and click adventure. Play as Ruth, a milkmaid living in 1920’s Norway, as she discovers something strange is lurking around her hilltop farm.
Between the hills
Set in rolling hill country beautifully crafted in pixel art and hand-painted backgrounds, Milkmaid of the Milky Way is a classic point and click game down to its bones. The game tells the story of Ruth and her simple existence milking cows, churning butter and trying to eke out a living in the barren and lonely countryside. With a simple yet haunting soundtrack and a constantly rhyming dialogue, the single creator of Milkmaid of the Milky Way manges to create a laid back and engaging world. The game takes an unexpected turn when an unknown object appears from above and Ruth must face new challenges. While the game is short with a playtime of a few hours and doesn’t pose a serious challenge to veteran point and click fans, it offers a rich story and a unique atmosphere which is sure to charm.
Story over length
Milkmaid of the Milky Way is a short and sweet story told with passion and talent. It is not a long or challenging title, suited more towards fans of casual games, but is certainly above average.
