A sequel to Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk. Dive into demented and bizarre world once again and help the girl become a little happier.

What it feels like

The demented and bizarre world, surreal imagery, and psychological disorientation create a pervasive sense of wrongness and subtle disturbance at the core of the experience. Helping a troubled girl become happier while navigating a strange world carries a wistful sadness and quiet reflection on loss and longing. The experience invites unhurried reflection, interpretation, and sitting with the protagonist's psychological state.
