Today's Wholesome Direct presentation was full of wonderful upcoming indie games filling Summer Game Fest with cozy vibes, but as a retro connoisseur, my absolute favorite reveal of the show was Milano's Odd Job Collection. This gorgeous PS1 game never made it out of Japan back in the day, but a quarter-century later, that's finally changing thanks, in part, to an excellent fan translation group.
Milano's Odd Job Collection has you play as an 11-year-old girl named Milano, who's off on a 40-day summer vacation. You choose how to spend your time each day, but you spend a lot of it working various part-time jobs, which take the form of minigames where you do things like deliver pizzas, or milk cows.
