The briefing
Inuyasha: Secret of the Divine Jewel is a role-playing game based on the Inuyasha anime series. The story follows Janis, an American transferred to Japan who enters the Bone Eater's Well and travels to feudal-era Japan. After touching a Shikon Jewel shard, it is absorbed into her body and awakens the divine power known as Kamuitama.
Janis joins Kagome, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and others on a quest to find a way to retrieve the shard. Players explore locations and villages, speak with characters, gather information, and buy or find useful items such as healing and poison-curing supplies.
Random encounters occur while exploring fields and dungeons, leading to turn-based battles. Characters use attacks and special skills, while managing energy that can be restored by spending a turn to spirit up. The game ends if the party's characters lose all of their hit points.
