A big step up from the first game, milk outside dives even deeper into our protagonist's character and thought process, with numerous different endings to wrap up the story. As we all know from milk inside, the girl's behavioral characteristics are quite different from the rest of society. Without spoiling anything too deep, we can see that our protagonist suffers from a mental illness, maybe more than one. Conversing with her throughout the game was actually more entertaining than I had expected. The way she thinks and talks is different, yet still understandable. I'm not one for the horror genre, but this game didn't place much of a focus on that at all.
The highlights of the game were definitely the 5 unique endings. I'll keep it real with you- I'm not gonna even pretend like I understood all the endings fully, but they were each still very interesting in their own right. I honestly didn't expect them to be as confusing as they were, since the game up to that point had been pretty straightforward in what it was trying to convey. Not only were they confusing, but they all cut very abruptly, leaving the rest up to the player's own interpretation. Just my opinion, but I would have probably preferred if the endings were explained better instead of being left in such an open-ended manner. The final scene of the game also feels a little unfinished, I mean there wasn't exactly any real closure for the protagonist. Indicating that there may possibly be a third game? (Might just be reaching)
TL;DR it's a short 1-2 hr psychological horror game that tackles themes of mental illness, so if that is appealing to you definitely check it out.
