The Mom is pretty creepy, there is not much context to her other than demanding the protagonist to buy milk. So we the player are probably a figment of her imagination, that's why she speaks to us as if we are in her mind. I mean seeing your own father's death with his fleshy bits scattered all over the floor is pretty scarring and horrific. This is purely speculation, but I think the protagonist is suffering from some form of depression and split reality. Later it is revealed that after her father died she just wasn't the same anymore, that is why she is prescribed medicine. Once we get to the counter the cashier is not human, in fact, the people aren't human at all this could be that she wants to disassociate people because it might remind her of her father. So, we start off with the title screen 'Help me Buy Milk!,' a pretty simple task right? Well, for us, yes, but for the protagonist not so much as you will see throughout the game.
My Interpretation (SPOILERS: Read at your own risk) The music is filled with simple tones yet it sets the mood for each of the scenes. Even though there are no facial expressions or voice actors, the way that the text is displayed along with the visual image and music gives personality to the character if that makes sense. In my opinion, I haven't seen many games with fourth wall break, so that I loved the fourth wall breaksīecause it actually feels like the character is aware of where and what she is. Most of the time I was confused as to what she was saying, but I loved how you get to choose what you want to say to her. Overall, the graphics give it that mysterious and eerie feeling. I also love the different shades of pinks and red. It leads the player to just imagine what is going on, literally like a visual novel. All I'm trying to say is that there is a balance to the amount of detail.
There are sections where the amount of detail is minimal that you're not really sure what you're looking at, but then there are other parts where there is just enough you know what is there. I also left a link to my video incase anyone wants to watch it! I apologize if I don't make a lot of sense. Ok Let's break this up, I will first talk about the graphics, the dialogue, the music, and finally my own interpretation of the game. Holy carp, there is a lot to unpack here.
