Milk Outside a Bag of Milk Outside a Bag of Milk
Having completed the first game I did not really know whether I wanted to leap into Milk Outside a Bag of Milk into Milk Outside a Bag of Milk. The first one left me silent and somewhat depressed. Still curiosity won. Being a gamer and a fan of narrative based indie games I felt this sequel was worth my time.
In this game, there is no attempt to impress you with the mechanics or graphics. Rather it drags you further into the same uncomfortable position yet having more clarity and emotional weight. It is as though one is sitting next to a struggling person, and has no idea what to say.
What The Game Is About
Milk Outside a Bag of Milk Outside a Bag of Milk is a continuation of the first game with a different perspective. This time you are not only inside the head of the girl. You have more direct contact with her. You talk to her. To her fears and confusions you answer.
The game deals with loneliness trauma and the need to have someone who understands one. The images are more graphic but distorted as well. The world seems to be shaky, and that fits the emotional state of her person. There is nothing expounded clearly and that was deliberate. You get to know who she is by the way she talks and responds to you.

How to play game ( Step by Step beginner guide)
At the beginning of the game you are put into a conversation with the lead character. No long tutorial is required and there is none.
You read and listen what she says first. Second you select options of dialogue which is how she reacts and thinks. Third you browse through small spaces by clicking and interacting where necessary. Lastly the decisions that you make gradually steer the story in the direction of various emotional consequences. There is no rush. The game would have you take your time and respond.

Lessons to Learn in the Real World
Games in a place where you can concentrate. Get breaks in case the themes begin to overwhelm you. Select the answers that are natural not what you believe to be the right ones.
Attention should also be paid to the background details because they tend to indicate her mental status. I had to repeat some of my moments to find out the difference in the tone of the conversation when the reactions were different.
Topical Errors made by beginners
There are those players who use the dialogue as a riddle and they attempt to choose the answer. That misses the point. Others want to know what is going on and they get angry when the narrative remains unclear. Some of them hasten the game over and this does not enhance the emotional appeal of the game. It is a present game rather than a progressive one.
