This is a continuation of "Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk", and that is mostly what it is. Honestly, I find this one to be a less special experience in comparison to the first, and would only recommend this to people who played the first. While neither has a lot of gameplay, in this one you are largely just talking to the protagonist, while the first you are actually guiding the protagonist through the act of buying milk. That said it is still a good game, and an interesting exploration of mental illness like the first with a great artstyle. It's also worth noting this game is certainly substantive and better looking the first, even including some really nice animated cutscenes. It just feels a bit like this game is mostly just expanding on and adding details to the first game instead of being it's own thing. That isn't necessarily a bad thing given how good the first one is, but I do wish it were a little more. Though I do love that in adding details, it still isn't 100% clear what is the truth, and what exactly the past of the protagonist is. Like she clearly sees her mom as a monster, but is she actually being abusive or that just how she sees her mom?

Also just want to say I love all of the various endings you can get. They are such interesting abstract explorations of the main character's psyche. Though I do think there is a problem in that none of them alone are quite satisfying as endings alone, but taken together they are quite satisfying. I don't think there is an easy solution to this problem, but that's just how I felt after ending the game then going to watch the rest of the endings on youtube.
