    A short but sweet point and click puzzle adventure that takes you from dairy farming in Norway out to the stars and beyond. Godspeed, Ruth, you were a joy.

    Milkmaid of the Milky Way seems rather a costly 2-hour adventure game. On the other hand it has a great and emotional story to offer.

    Appreciate the heart and personalization that went into making it so concisely wonderful.

    A charming retro styled point-and-click adventure set on a remote farm in the fjords of Norway. The beautiful environments and the nostalgic graphics outweigh the few cliches and strange puzzles. The simple one-button interface in «Milkmaid of the Milky Way» makes it accessible for a modern audience.

    Milkmaid of the Milky Way does not hide at any time its simplicity or its little revolutionary character, but uses it as a resource to tell its charming story. Difficult to attract glances in such fast and sophisticated times, but as necessary as the most basic fairy tale.

    I’m not saying you need to play Milkmaid, but if you enjoy traditional point’n’click games and pixel art, you definitely can give it a chance. [03/2017, p.64]
