Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk is a fully fleshed out visual novel sequel to Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk. Milk2 is a lot more of a game than its predecessor and is far deeper in the narrative it attempts to tell. Overall, it does a pretty good job and there's a reasonably impressive amount of lore developed in these two short little indie text titles. In total the two games combined will take you 2-4 hours, and they make for a great spooky movie night sort of experience a la Until Dawn.

I liked the choices and the interactivity and the psychological horror elements. There were some nice spooky jump scare kind of instances and just general feelings of ominousness. An eerie tone swallows the entire game and unsettles you while you try to figure out exactly what's going on. It's not the most groundbreaking narrative with regards to themes of guilt, depression, mental illness etc. But it does a perfectly admirable job for a game that costs like $5.

I really enjoyed my time with the series and would recommend the pair to anyone looking for a fun spooky night in October.
