Milkmaid of the Milky Way is a classic puzzle adventure game by solo developer Mattis Folkstead created with Unity. The story is very interesting. In the game, you are playing Ruth, a young woman living alone on a remote farm in a faraway fjord in 1920’s Norway, trying to save her cows from aliens. All the dialogue is written in rhyme, and the story has a certain melancholy to the whole affair, about time passing and losing loved ones.
The scenes in this game is beautiful. It’s a curious mixture between low-resolution, old-school pixel art, but with some surprisingly detailed backgrounds and scenery. To solve the puzzles, you need to explore all the scenes, tap on different characters and listen to their stories, and collect key items to help you go through certain area.
The soundtrack is also amazing. They fit with the story and change constantly when the story goes on. Playing through the whole story took me about two hours, and it was an amazing experience. I would recommend it to anyone who loves adventure games and interested in sci-fi.
