Jiji the Cat continues on his journey to the land of fish after Jiji’s Osakanakuzushi. He sights a flying school of fish and chases them into a deep forest. As he walks deeper he finds himself getting lost; Jiji will need to explore the forest and get to know its residents in order to cross through it.
Jiji and the Mysterious Forest is the first of three child-friendly RPGs in the Jiji series. The player directs Jiji using the mouse cursor and selects options from a mouse-driven menu. It features simple Dragon Quest-style combat and a simplified inventory system.
