## Description
_Yo-Jin-Bo_ is a Japanese-style anime adventure game set in medieval Japan
long after the warring states period.
The player plays the role of Sayori, a high school female student who
coincidentally comes into possession of a jade pendant. Later that night,
Sayori awakens from her sleep to find the mysterious pendant floating in mid-
air with a ghostly vision of a girl crying out for help. The story then
unfolds to reveal the tale of an Princess Hatshusime (Hatsume), entrapped in
Kitahama Castle of Chief Inspector Harumoto and is pursuit by his ninja
assassins.
The story comes back to present day Sayori, who somehow finds herself back in
time trapped in Hatsume’s body in the company of her faithful bodyguard
Muneshige, just before an assassination attempt on Hatsume was made. The story
continues with them attempting to escape from the assassins and meeting up
other main characters of the game hired rescue her. All in the meanwhile
describing the humor-curious relationship between all of them.
Gameplay requires little player intervention as the majority consists of
Japanese voice-overs with English sub-titles. There are however, some few
instances per chapter of the story where the player is required to make a
decision over a few selections within a specified time-limit. If the player
does not choose a selection, a decision will be chosen by default for the
player. If the player chooses the wrong decision however, it may result in the
game ending abruptly, forcing the player to load a previous game or restart.
The overall decisions of the player will decide different possible endings.
