Gameplay Elements
Characters

Event characters make appearances in dungeons, such as (Japanese: ハチ) who will ask to trade Big Riceballs

Their gimmicks are fixed though, so if the player is able to rememebr them, the negative encounters can be avoided on subsequent playthroughs.

Item Identification
Some dungeons feature items that won't be identified when they're picked up. Once they've been ID'ed, they'll remain so for the rest of the adventure.
Item Synthesis
Using Synthesis Scrolls and Armband Synthesis Scrolls, players can combine Weapons and Shields with the ones they currently have equipped or various armbands together to create more useful items. Items have limited number of slots for seals (Japanese: 印), meaning they have to choose wisely which ones to use.
Live Viewing
Live viewing allowed players to broadcast their data, and receive help from others. Alternatively, it allowed players to watch others and even send simple messages to aid or greif players. It was a beneficial feature that allowed new players to learn more advanced techniques from more experienced players.

Rescues
Players could send for rescues up to four times per adventure. The player is required to have reached that floor previously to complete a rescue. Failing during a rescue will mean the rescuer is unable to send their own rescue request. Choosing not to seek a rescue or giving up, the player will be sent back to the inn.

Shops
- Guard Dog (Japanese: 番犬)

Items are purchased with Gitan (Japanese: ギタン), the in-game currency of the Shiren the Wanderer series. Shopkeepers will only purchase three items and no more, limiting the amount of Gitan players can make from a shop. Items picked up and identified in shops will be treated as a purchase, even if the player attempts to return them. If the player attempts to steal items, the shopkeeper will declare them a thief and Sheriff's and Guard Dogs will begin to appear and hunt Shiren down, along with the Shopkeeper.
