We had the same question, you and I. Hit that buy button, don't be shy! Rhymes aside, quick impressions: This game is one of those rare gems that pops up out of nowhere. Backgrounds have a delicious hand-drawn style, while characters are in pixel style. It works better visually than you'd guess. The dialog has its own sing-song style, and both it and the story are well written and humorous.. Everything feels pretty fluid here, there's none of the clunkiness that can sometimes happen with navigation in adventure games. It actually reminds me a bit of Double Fine's Broken Age. If you like point and click games you'll find this one a treat. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #7 metalcasket, Jan 6, 2017 This is definitely being overshadowed this week and it's such a shame 'coz this is just incredible on so many levels. There's so much going on with the art style and the completely original rhyming text, everything feels authentically Norwegian, the music could have easily been a part of any folk metal album and best of all? Ruth runs! That's priceless in a point and click. I can easily see this being this year's "Tormentum" on my end of year list. Y'know...that one point and click game that really left an everlasting impression. This is some special stuff right here. Hambo12 Well-Known Member Jul 23, 2012 1,943 28 48 on the internet #8 Hambo12, Jan 6, 2017 This game is great sad to see not much talking about this. It's really atmospheric and the rhymes are awesome even though some feel a little forced. It's about 3-4 hours long not a long game but a great and satisfying experience. Derprozess Well-Known Member Aug 18, 2012 279 0 16 Engineer #9 Derprozess, Jan 6, 2017 Last edited: Jan 6, 2017 IMO the art style is indeed original; this game looks gorgeous on my Air. Also the game's very responsive and the movement is fast, plus it has double-clicking for even faster running. Some of the rimes are a bit forced but mostly they're wonderful and sometimes funny (as when you don't know what to do next), but also they could add depth to the story (I guess these rimes have something to do with the game's denouement? Idk, would be nice to be the result of something that happened to the heroine in the past and forced her to think and speak in rimes, as childish as this may sound ) The puzzles aren't too hard to solve in the beginning but judging by the game's description, they'll have higher difficulty later. The art style is very different compared to Tormentum, of course (which is my last year favorite point-and-click), but if "Milkmaid" will be darker and darker as the story goes by, this would be more than welcomed by me. Edit: I can't help myself but saying: I'm definitely impressed! Later settings remind me about Carl Sagan's novel Contact (that surrealistic beach), Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-five and, of course and since the very beginning, Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey -- and being elements here that remind me about some of my favorite books I've read so far -- all these make me loving the game even more! orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #10 orangecan, Jan 6, 2017 I can only echo the above comments, this is ace (and I didn't like Tormentum!). If you've any interest in the genre I'd pick this up without hesitation. Alex Wolf Well-Known Member Dec 5, 2010 585 3 18 #11 Alex Wolf, Jan 6, 2017 Yep its really awesome, and the dev is also a really nice guy! Support him if u like pixel or point n click games, this is a MUST HAVE!! TA pls review it! nodoctors Well-Known Member Jul 24, 2009 1,212 28 48 #12 nodoctors, Jan 6, 2017 This looks amazing! I can't believe I almost completely missed this one. This is a guaranteed must buy for me on the upcoming paycheck. Just beautiful.

I'm buying the game right now. chronos77b Active Member Dec 14, 2013 44 0 0 #16 chronos77b, Jan 7, 2017 Thank YOU machineboy. I knew nothing about the game, saw the review and replies here, and mashed the buy button. My favourite sort of game, and I'm looking forward to immersing myself in the world you've made. All the very best, and thanks again. jrd Active Member Dec 23, 2012 44 0 6 #17 jrd, Jan 7, 2017 Good game Machine Boy. Not too far in (just met the boy) but really enjoying it. N.B. There is a spelling mistake on the cliff scene. I think you used "my" instead of "me". Or maybe it was the other way around? Or maybe I just read it wrong. machineboy Well-Known Member Jan 21, 2011 63 0 0 Oslo, Norway #18 machineboy, Jan 7, 2017 So happy you wanted to play my game, good luck and thanks! metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #19 metalcasket, Jan 7, 2017 Congrats on being TA's Game of the Week!
