Milo and the Magpies is a point-and-click, hidden object game following the story of a little cat named Milo who is trying to find his way home after getting turned around by an unfortunate encounter with some pesky magpies.
The gameplay of this point-and-click adventure revolves around players guiding the curious cat protagonist, Milo, through a series of logical challenges in order to help him find his way back home. The game presents 9 unique garden environments, each containing its own set of puzzles to solve. Players must carefully observe their surroundings, combine inventory items in thoughtful ways, and navigate clever obstacles in order to progress Milo further towards his goal. Reviewers describe the puzzles as "challenging enough to be engaging, but not to the point where it's frustrating." Many note having to think through some of the later puzzles, potentially needing to refer to guides for the more obtuse solutions, but also highlight that with patient exploration, they were eventually able to figure out the answers on their own.
