Milkmaid of the Milky Way
I picked this game up a
couple of days ago because it was heavily discounted (although even
at full
In Milkmaid of the Milky Way you play as Ruth, a young milkmaid in 1920's Norway who
spends her time tending a herd of cows, and making butter and cheese.
Until one day she is visited by a space ship. I won't spoil any more
of the story than that. It's a point-and-click adventure game, like
Monkey Island, though it's a bit more basic; there's no actions, you
just use your inventory on different things. One thing definitely
worth mentioning though is that the entire game rhymes, every line of
dialogue. I mean, they're not all literary prize winners or anything,
but it's still pretty damn impressive.
I got through the game
in about 2 hours, so it's on the short side, but still, that's
movie-length, that's an evening of entertainment, and it was a lot
cheaper than a movie.
But down to the big question: is it good? Well, I liked it. It didn't blow me away, but it was entertaining and I have nothing negative to say about it. I give it 3.5/5 stars. Steam is doing a sale on games from Norway for the next few days, so now's a great time to grab it.
