XSEED Games has announced that a charming PlayStation classic game will launch this December. Milano’s Odd Job Collection will be released for PC via Steam/GOG/Windows, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series, and Xbox One this December.

While off from school for the summer, 11-year-old Milano’s mom needs to go to the hospital, and Milano is sent to spend the summer with her uncle… who happens to be away on vacation! Left on her own, Milano takes up a variety of part-time jobs in town. For 40 days, Milano delivers pizzas, nurses sick patients, milks flying cows, and more. She can also spruce up her uncle’s place and have some fun times. Milano is in for one unforgettable summer.

These are the game’s key features, via XSEED Games:

  • Milano Meets the World: Full English text and voiceovers bring Milano’s pixel-art adventures to a whole new audience. Fans can rest assured that the original Japanese is also available, complete with all-new English subtitles.
  • Make Your Home Away from Home: Rest and relaxation are important for work-life balance. Milano can style the house with new furniture and decor instead of going into work, and at night she can enjoy quiet time inside with her uncle’s cat, stargazing from her bedroom, and making use of items purchased with her hard-earned wages.
  • It’s Not Work if You Love to Do It: Help Milano earn money in eight unique mini-games, including curing diseases as a nurse, catching falling fruits in an orchard, and more. Enrich Milano’s skill, mood, and energy in the evenings to unlock more odd jobs and higher difficulty levels. The tougher the challenge, the bigger the payday!
  • Nostalgic Gameplay, Modern Conveniences: The charm and gameplay of the original release are intact, but improved load times, save states, and a rewind feature help update this classic title for modern audiences.

This release of Milano’s Odd Job Collection is emulated for Implicit Conversations and is published by XSEED Games. It will be released for PC via Steam/GOG/Windows, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series, and Xbox One on December 9.
