What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 47 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (54 of 57 positive).
Many note the game is short and lacks content, but still enjoyable. [1][2][3] Reviewers appreciate the high-quality localization and port features. [4][5][6]

Game unplayable. The sound is broken and it seems to want to do nothing but glitch out. It doesn't make sense as my laptop plays normal games without issue?
- [7]
The game is cute and fun, not so much a raising sim but more a mini game collection and some customization. It's a great but barebones port. The localization is good and not too intrusive. Has a gallery with the comics both in japanese and translated. Comes with 5 CRT filter presets but I still would recommend using Reshade. You can choose the language and there are quicksave slots.

It's a cute game for sure, but it's definitely lacking a lot in content + replay value. If all you're interested in are some mini-games and basic life sim elements, it's good. Otherwise, you're better off saving your money for something else. That said, I still enjoyed my time with it, and I'll always support more PS1 games getting official localizations.

The mini-games are kinda just OK, but it's really cute and charming. It's also just very cool that a game like this could still get a brand new localization this many years later, and they really nailed the localization too - it manages to evoke that classic 90s anime dub style without just being deliberately bad. The emulation wrapper is solid too with all of the features you would expect - save states, rewind, CRT …

I really do love these cases, where an old Japanese game I never even heard of, seemingly out of nowhere, gets an English release. I went into this game really only knowing the base premise of it being a minigame collection. What I found while playing is that, although fairly bare-bones, the game offered an enjoyable couple of minigames, carried by its cute design. Like mentioned before, the game is pretty lacking …

neutral · AI labelView post →This game was made in the 90's, being a PSX Japan-only release. So the music and graphics feel a little retro, but that's the charm. It's interesting to note that this game was sold at 5800yen when it first came out in the 90s. Now you can play this title for less than half the price, so definitely worth the price if you've always wanted to play the english version of this game. The game itself is fun, cute and simple. Nothing too complex -- pick any job you want to do during the day to earn…

positive · AI labelView post →Actually this is a good game for nostalgia to who has PS1 since Milano's odd job used to be PS1 game but they never has the EN version. so for the game without post game, and you can finish the game only for around 2 hours. I do not recommend this game since the price is quite expensive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Putting my money where my mouth is for re-releases of old Japanese exclusive games. I really want this to become a bigger trend and I hope this release is successful for the publisher and the translation team at HillTop. This is a cute little minigame collection with some fantastic 32-bit spritework and a little home decoration and stat raising thrown in. There's not a lot of depth, and two playthroughs will probably be plenty for most, but it's a fun time-waster and again something I'm very…
