Bad Milk is a puzzle video game developed by New York developers Dreaming Media. The game begins with a first person full motion video, in which the player drinks spoiled milk and collapses onto the table. This launches a puzzle game in which the player must complete a series of minigames to obtain clues to "escape" their situation. The player is spoken to in various phone calls by an unseen third party and given hints to complete the puzzles. Clues are hidden in FMV clips including a "dismembered bald head, a disembodied voice, a drowning man, and chronic smokers", and often use reversed audio.

Bad Milk is awesome. It's among the rarest gems in surreal video games, and I've been recommending it for years knowing that the organic discovery of this game is probably lost to time. It doesn't make much sense, but the ideas it presents and the way it executes them are really cool and worth their time especially for a free game.
This game won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at the Independent Games Festival in 2002 and it’s easy to see how. Even 20 years later there isn’t really anything like it. The game uses stop motion photography of people to show movement in some of the mini games while some are entirely focused on sound with no art at all. Not every mini game works, navigating a maze based on sound gets tedious the second time you do it, but they’re all very short and the game doesn’t take long to complete so if one isn’t very good, you’ll be onto the next game pretty quickly and there’s a lot of variety so it will have you engaged the whole time.
Fuck blind mazes
