Jokes aside from the title, these titles are legit and well worth checking out if you're one for surreal and close hitting themes of loneliness and the way our mind tries to defend or even hurt itself.

There's also a pre-order discount if you're interested

Milk Outside a Bag of Milk Outside a Bag of Milk is a chance to examine a me outside a bag of me

This short and sharply written tale is an unflinching, unvarnished, but not unsympathetic look at mental illness.

So are they banking on the silly title to generate word of mouth since it's a small indie game or did they genuinely want the silly title to begin with? Because, NGL, just scrolling through the eshop and seeing a title like that is more likely to make me pass on it.

Ragnarok inside a bag of God Of War inside a bag of Ragnarok and God Of War outside a bag of Ragnarok outside a bag of God Of War

Counterpoint: I only clicked this thread because of the game title.

 

[Solitude]

Pardon?

 

[JAlpsWanderer]

Title aside, that looks creepy and surreal in the best kind of way. Right up my alley, I think.

Probably a bit of both. These are two separate titles in one bundle, so it was this or something like the "The Inside Outside Bag of Milk Collection" lol.

With that said, the name does reflect on a central piece of the story both games have. So it balances out.

 

[Diogo Arez]

Glad to see humanity finally reach its peak of titles

 

[kimbo99]

Sounds like a perfect game for Canadians.

 

[Lashley]

Good luck to them

 

[Velox Cor]

Canadian checking in, will definitely check it out.

 

[Grips]

That title name and the phone footage of a laptop of a phone footage Kojima game?

Rough morning for my brain.

 

[Zutrax]

It might be easy to side eye or joke about the name (which is in service of something within the games themes), but these games are great, really melancholic and depressing reflections of severe mental health struggles. I highly recommend people (with the caveat that you have the mental fortitude to handle some pretty dark content) check them out. They're short too, first one is like 30 mins, second one is maybe 1-2 hours or so.

Not to be too reductionist, but they reminded me a lot of something like Serial Experiments Lain. Just overwhelmingly oppressive and sad, but meaningful.

 

[Uzzy]

They're legit good games as Jaw says, definitely unique, surreal, dealing with some heavy themes. The titles even fit really.

They're games that definitely wear their Lain inspiration on their sleeves so I wouldn't be worried about making the comparison.

But yeah, the title might be weird but there's meaning behind it that's more than just, "lol random."

Isn't that basically… marketing? Like a small indie needs all the help they can get!

I'm probably going to buy the game, but I wouldn't of even clicked the thread it it was titled CEREBRO SOULS: MIND SPLASH

 

[MayorTortimer]

I, for one, love long and dumb titles for games

 

[kubev]

I can't help but feel that they're milking this concept.

 

[Anastasis]

For sure thought this would be a Switch Pro launch title.

/s

 

[julia crawford]

This is cool but it looks like it's way too scary for me.

Thread title made me click. If I saw that pic in the store, I'd keep scrolling before the name even registered.

 

[SixelAlexiS]

I thought it was one big title, OP should have used the quotes to make it clear :'D

This is from the Nintendo page btw:

This product includes both the first and the second part of the series: "Milk Inside A Bag Of Milk Inside A Bag Of Milk" and "Milk Outside A Bag Of Milk Outside A Bag Of Milk".

 

[TheFurizzlyBear]

Loved these games, some wonderful short VNs. Happy to see them get an opportunity to grow their audience. Definitely mind any content warnings

Exactly, like that name isn't something you'll see every day for the title of a game.

 

[jazzfunkgreats]

These games are great and the name only makes them better tbh

 

[lunarworks]

But where's the bagged milk?

 

[criteriondog]

Yooooo this looks up my alley if it's kinda psychological and "off".

How's the actual game? It's cheap too on preorder, looks interesting. I've found myself liking indie games that deal with the mind/mood. A lot of the indies I've played on Switch have been visual novels too.

Other indie games I liked a lot: Gris, Doki Doki LC, Celeste, Gnosia

Definitely the biggest upset for me lol 🇨🇦

I'm lactose intolerant.....

Thanks a lot assholes!

 

[number8888]

If I understand correctly there are two games:

"Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk" is the prequel.
"Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk" is the sequel.

You get both as a bundle on Switch, but they are separate games.

Reviews looks good on Steam and I like generally psychological horror stuff so will likely give it go.

 

[sionydus]

Def Canadian

 

[Sputnik Sweetheart]

I'm interested, especially given the themes. Thanks for making me aware of this Jawmuncher!

It's a visual novel, very very little actual "game" outside some dialogue choices. Closest to the games you listed is Doki Doki LC. Not to discredit it though, it's a great little VN.

 

[Oreiller]

I just played through both of these and they were pretty great. We need more games talking about mental health issues without being ableist or ignorant.

Oh yeah, I saw that in OP. I like VN! Only played a few but always get the most out of them. I was just listing indies I've played :P

This looks very interesting. Going to keep this on my radar. Thanks for sharing.

These games portray anxiety and mental illness in a very interesting way.

[Merc]

Reading this thread title just gave me a headache

 

[criteriondog]

Played through inside and outside, and did all the endings. Took my time, and probably spent six or seven hours fascinated with this game/bundle, especially the second one!

I cannot recommend it enough. It was trippy, odd, and more games handling mental health and how it affects the character/world is always welcomed. Thought provoking game.

Can you update the title to be in quotes so people can tell it's two games? 😅

"Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk" and "Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk" are Coming to Switch

Or something like that. To improve readability!

The trailer for this is one of the craziest things I've seen drop on the Official Nintendo YouTube channel probably ever.

Do you like Visual Novels? That's the most important part.

They are visual novels through and through. I loved both of these but look at some of the images, if you vibe with them then you will probably like the games, if not then probably not.

I prefer the ones with some kind of gameplay, but I don't mind to try one without gameplay if the story is good.

Is this a game set in Canada?
