Milkshake: A Malti-Path Adventure

The Game

Milkshake: A Malti-Path Adventure is an FMV, choose-your-own-adventure video extravaganza from the Ridgway Films archives.

Based upon the classic UbseyMovies short film Milkshake, not only is Milkshake: A Malti-Path Adventure a faithful, shot-for-shot recreation of said film, but it is also a thrilling interactive experience that lets you explore the surreal underbelly of UbseyMovies's most obscure works through our hastily-shot, poorly-edited recreations, all of it loosely strung together in the format of an interactive movie.

The Backstory

Milkshake: A Malti-Path Adventure was originally released on YouTube in 2011, during the craze of choose-your-own-adventure videos that were made possible by YouTube annotations (anyone remember Chad Matt and Rob's The Birthday Party??). However, YouTube, being a company that inevitably chooses the worst possible business strategy given any number of options, chose to retire and remove annotations from the platform, dooming our branching story masterpiece to be completely unplayable.

Until now. It's back. And not only is it back, but for the first time ever, you can play through the Milkshake adventure with SEAMLESS BRANCHING! That's right. Milkshake: A Malti-Path Adventure now identifies as a QTE FMV. Its pronouns are "buttery smooth" and "hecking awesome".

And perhaps there's a surprise Easter egg or two hidden inside this game if you look real hard?

Controls

This game is designed to be played with a gamepad. Branching options will be oriented around the A-B-X-Y button diamond.

However, you can also play it with a keyboard. By default, the option buttons are mapped to your Z, X, and C keys, but you can remap these keys in the Options menu.
