Milo and the Magpies – Out Now ?

Milo and the Magpies – Out Now ?


 

Milo and the Magpies is a new point-and-click, hidden object game hand-painted and animated by artist Johan Scherft and published by Second Maze. The game follows the story of an adorable little cat named Milo, who is trying to find his way home after getting turned around by an unfortunate encounter with some pesky magpies.

Can you guide Milo back home? ?

A big thank you to Johan Scherft for allowing us the honour of publishing his very first game; it’s mind-blowing to see how much work he has put into this very special project.

Along the way, quite a few brilliant minds helped Johan on his journey: Victor Butzelaar who infused atmosphere into every chapter with his wonderful music, Jeroen Wimmers who worked his code magic behind the scenes, Barthel Brussee who was kind enough to offer invaluable help with animations, Bob Rafferty & Sara Hill both of whom did some incredible voiceover work, Studio Popova who designed the amazing logo and last but not least a huge thank you all our awesome translators and testers! ?

And don’t forget to make Milo happy by leaving a review after playing the game! ?
 
Thanks for your support and greetings from The Lake! ?

    Disappointing.
    As a fan of the Rusty Lake games, I aspected something with a similar puzzle level. It’s far from that, it’s way easier. But the graphics are cool.

    I tink that Milo and the Magpies was one of the more delightful short games I ever saw!
    I am a ‘hard’puzzle fan, though I had to think to solve some of the puzzles in Milo.
    Then, there is so much wonderful artwork in every single environment… and there is a lot of humor and as much poetry in it! I may sound childish, by I was honestly moved by the breathtaking ending.
    A real masterpiece, thank you Johan Sherft for this amazing game. I had rather buy it on Itch’io so to add a donation to its unrightly low price.
    And a big thanks to Rusty Lake for promoting it!

    =( is this game desktop only? Will you ever release a mobile version? I’d love to play this on the go as an app. Something small and delightful for my commutes =)

    Beautiful game with well-thought puzzles and fascinating aesthetics
    It’s a shame your games are not as popular (yet!)
