Milkmaid of the Milky Way is a classic puzzle adventure game where you play Ruth, a young woman living alone on a remote farm in a faraway fjord in 1920's Norway. Life is hard, work is tough, and Ruth wonders; Is this the life I want? Then one day a huge spaceship arrives, turning her world upside-down. Milkmaid is a game with a heartfelt story of a young woman breaking free and finding her own place in the universe, all wrapped up in lovely 90s style handcrafted graphics. It's also written completely in rhyme!
