Suiryuushi Bangaihen -Mediflora no Izumi-

Released in 1991 for the PC-8801, *Suiryuushi Bangaihen: Mediflora no Izumi* serves as an intriguing spin-off to the established *Suiryuushi* role-playing series by the family-run developer, Soft-ya Shanbara. This title invites players to explore the mysterious Mediflora Spring, following a protagonist training as a water practitioner who becomes embroiled in an unexpected and mystical quest. By integrating the series' signature world-building with a focused, character-driven narrative, the game offers a distinct side story that highlights the technical and creative evolution of the developer's work during the late PC-88 era.

As a side story in the *Suiryuushi* series, this title shifts the setting to the mysterious Fountain of Mediflora, where a new adventure awaits. Players take on the role of a protagonist training as a water mage who finds their peaceful daily life suddenly upended by a mysterious incident. As the story unfolds, the protagonist must explore various regions to uncover the secrets hidden within the fountain's ancient legends. While maintaining the unique world-building established in the main series, this spin-off offers a fresh perspective through an entirely different narrative experience.
