《Milano's Odd Job Collection》是充滿復古風情與生活趣味的像素風冒險遊戲。故事從暑假開始，11歲的小女孩Milano原本期待迎接悠閒假期，卻因為母親需要住院治療，被迫前往鄉下與叔叔同住。然而更令人哭笑不得的是，她的叔叔竟然在同一時間出門旅行，留下Milano一個人面對整個夏天的未知挑戰。

面對這個孤單卻自由的暑假，Milano並沒有氣餒，反而決定用自己的方式度過四十天的鄉村生活。她走出叔叔的家，在鎮上四處尋找能接手的零工：有時她得替披薩店跑外送，有時需要在醫院照顧病人，甚至得前往農場幫忙替會飛的乳牛擠牛奶，每天的體驗都荒誕又可愛。她希望在這段時間裡累積自己的生活能力，也希望能讓叔叔空無一物的家變得更溫暖、更像自己的小天地。

作為原本僅在日本推出的經典作品，如今首度面向全球市場推出，重新加入全英文文本與配音，並保留原版日文語音及新製的英文字幕，讓這段日系懷舊風格的像素故事能夠被不同文化背景的玩家體驗。同時，翻新後的版本在保留原作情懷的前提下加入現代化便利機能，包括更快速的載入時間、即時存檔，以及特別實用的倒轉功能，使遊戲節奏更加流暢，也更適合當代玩家享受。

玩法圍繞著Milano的「暑期打工人生」展開。將透過八種風格各異的小遊戲協助她賺取生活費，內容從醫護照護到果園接水果，從簡單的技巧遊戲到時機拿捏的挑戰，種類多樣又充滿幽默感。隨著夜晚降臨，Milano會有時間提升自己的能力值，包括智力、體力與其他生活技能，這些成長將決定她能否承接更困難的打工，以及是否能獲得更高額的報酬。這樣的循環讓玩家逐漸投入Milano的成長，並享受日記般累積生活經驗的感覺。

除了工作以外，Milano的休閒生活也同樣充滿溫度。可以替叔叔的房子添購家具、擺飾與小物件，將它打造成屬於Milano的小小避風港。夜晚時，她會與叔叔的貓咪靜靜待在房間裡，看著窗外灑落的星空，享受以自己努力換來的小小幸福。這些細膩的日常片段讓遊戲呈現出樸實卻動人的生活感，也成為許多玩家最珍惜的體驗。

市場的反應相當正面。玩家普遍稱讚它兼具溫馨與幽默的敘事魅力，成功捕捉日本90年代生活遊戲的經典味道。同時，復刻版加入的現代化機能，使老玩家能回味原作魅力，也讓新玩家有更平易近人的方式踏入這段可愛的夏日冒險。特別是遊戲輕鬆愉快、不帶壓力的節奏，更讓人覺得彷彿回到兒時的純真假期，帶有一種療癒心靈的力量。

《Milano's Odd Job Collection》於2025年12月9日在PS5上市，12月10日在Steam平台推出，由Implicit Conversions負責開發。這部作品不僅是充滿笑料的暑假故事，也是一封獻給過去與現在玩家的暖心信件，帶領人們再次感受最單純的遊戲快樂。

Milano’s Odd Job Collection is a charming, retro-style adventure that blends cozy life simulation with playful mini-games. The story begins just as summer vacation starts. Eleven-year-old Milano had expected a carefree break from school, but her plans change abruptly when her mother needs to be hospitalized. With no other choice, Milano is sent to the countryside to stay with her uncle. Unfortunately, things take an unexpected turn when she arrives—her uncle has already left on his own holiday, leaving Milano completely alone in his house.

Instead of panicking, Milano decides to embrace the freedom and turn this unexpected summer into something memorable. She ventures into town and begins taking on various part-time jobs. Some days she delivers pizzas, other days she tends to sick patients at a clinic, and occasionally she finds herself on a farm milking flying cows. Over the course of forty days, she throws herself into these quirky tasks, learning to navigate adulthood in her own innocent and humorous way. At the same time, she hopes to tidy up her uncle’s empty home and transform it into a comfortable place she can call her own for the season.

Originally released only in Japan, the game is now reaching global audiences for the first time, bringing its distinctly nostalgic Japanese charm to players around the world. The international version features full English text and voice acting, while still preserving the original Japanese language option and newly added English subtitles. The classic experience is enhanced with modern updates such as faster loading, save-anywhere functionality, and a convenient rewind feature, allowing new and returning players to enjoy the game with contemporary ease.

The gameplay centers on Milano’s summer life and her efforts to earn money through a variety of jobs. Players participate in eight different mini-games that range from medical care to orchard work, each job offering a simple yet delightful mix of timing, skill, and lighthearted fun. When night falls, Milano spends time improving her attributes—boosting her intelligence, energy, and other abilities—which determine whether she can take on more challenging tasks and earn higher wages. This daily cycle creates a gentle rhythm that mirrors the experience of slowly growing up and discovering independence.

Life isn’t all work, though. Milano can choose to stay home and redecorate her uncle’s house using the money she earns, filling it with furniture and decorations that reflect her personality. As the days wind down, she sits quietly with her uncle’s cat, gazing out at the starry sky from her bedroom window and finding joy in the small items she purchased through her own hard work. These tender moments give the game a warm sense of intimacy and nostalgia that have resonated strongly with players.

The market reception for Milano’s Odd Job Collection has been notably positive. Players praise its heartfelt storytelling, its humorous yet relatable portrayal of a child navigating unexpected freedom, and its faithful recreation of 1990s Japanese game aesthetics. The combination of old-school charm and modern quality-of-life updates has made it accessible both to fans of classic Japanese life sims and to new players seeking a relaxing, feel-good experience. Many have described the game as comforting, wholesome, and emotionally refreshing—like stepping back into a simpler childhood summer.

Developed by Implicit Conversions, Milano’s Odd Job Collection is set for release on December 10, 2025 on Steam. With its cozy atmosphere, playful mini-games, and heartfelt narrative, it stands as a nostalgic love letter to the summers we remember—and the small moments that make them unforgettable.
