Today we welcome a duo of intriguing adventure titles created by Mattis Folkestad in our store. Embracelet and Milkmaid of the Milky Way are available both separately and as a part of the Machineboy Complete Collection, along with their soundtracks.

Embracelet (-30%) is a unique coming of age story about love, loss, friendship and family set in Northern Norway. As a teenager Jesper you’re handed an old bracelet by your grandfather. Soon you discover that this gift holds mysterious powers!

Milkmaid of the Milky Way (-50%) takes you to 1920's Norway. As Ruth, a young woman who lives alone on a remote farm at the end of a faraway fjord. One day her whole life changes when a giant, golden ship descends from the sky…

Nice.

Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok, when?
high rated
Pedantic mode on -
one thing that annoys me with that game, is that it is based on Norse mythology, and the heroine is suppsed to stop the eternal winter: Ragnarök. But in Norse mythology the enternal winter is Fimbulvetr or Fimbulwinter, which comes before Ragnarök.... Get your Norse mythological events right, god damit!

You don't need Steam. You can download it from itch.io, no need to even create an account there.

It is.
An unpopular thing to even suggest but I wouldn't mind paying a little something for it, though.
I think I had noticed these on Itch.io but hadn't realised they were from the same dev as Heroine's Quest. That might even be DRM free already on Steam, I haven't tried though.

You can. It's "name your own price" on Itch.io, so you can get it for free or pay a 100 $ for it - it's up to you.

Anyway, Milkmaid of the Milky Way is a very nice game, if a bit short and shallow. But GOG took so long to release it here, probably everyone interested already played it. It's been available DRM-free all this time too. And given away for free at one time or another. The other game... looks kind of bad to me. EXPLORE A BEAUTIFUL, NORTHERN NORWEGIAN ISLAND - as depicted by low detail stock jagged polygons? Look, I get that budget is an issue, and the devs can have artistic reasons for choosing an art style, but using that one and listing beautiful setting as a selling point is ridiculous. And I see it has the dialogue system I hate, with this "one word possibly inacurate description of what the character is actually going to say. I'll pass.

It always boggles my mind when they offer a "bundle", but it costs more than buying the bundled items separately. $0.85 in this case, which translates into a R12.75 difference in my currency. Pure silliness. But I'm just saying, I'm not interested in buying these specific games.
That Bundle includes also Soundtracks ;)
> 2.3 / 5

No verified owners, no reviews. Checked the man's twitter - it's ok, games only, bio is fine, mouth is closed. Is there anything I should know or is it the normal gog-style welcome?

For those interested, both games also have Galaxy achievements even if it's not reported in the games pages!

Hmm, someone messed up the regional pricing for you, because in GBP the bundle costs less than the 4 items do separately.

Yes and no, for example I could have been interested but I tend to forget about itch.io as I use GOG daily, it's not a problem that it was free before, my bad if I've missed a freebie, but I'll wait for a higher discount because it was cheaper elsewhere and I'm not in any hurry. :) In the end I'm still glad it's on my (still) favourite store. I could also rebuy things I didn't have the patience to wait for, if they arrive on GOG, given that the price is very low.
As for Embracelets, that I didn''t know, I am not impressed with the graphics and the "feelings choice" dialogues as well, and it's even more expensive. Meh. There's a lot better I could get with 8 €in my taste so...
