Plot
The players are told a story of a Norwegian girl named Ruth who lives a dull and poor life on a dairy farm during the 1920s. One day she notices a mysterious, gold spaceship and is forced to embark on a life-changing adventure.
Mechanics
Milkmaid of the Milky Way published on PC and iOS draws inspiration from adventure titles from the 1990s. Gameplay is quite typical and consists in travelling through various locations and looking for items necessary for solving different puzzles. The title is rather short – it can be finished in around three hours. The developer introduced an interesting and amusing element – all dialogues rhyme.
Technical aspects
Just like many productions developed by small studios, Milkmaid of the Milky Way utilises pixel-art visuals. Due to that, the title resembles 8- and 16-bit console games.
