About this game
Levant is a young boy from a village Syrus.
Long time ago the country was cursed by a powerful spirit.

Since then the forests around Syrus are populated by monsters.
Levant's father was a Cocoon Master - a hunter who could capture those monsters, purge their corrupted souls through holy powers and make them serve the people.
But Levant's father disappeared long ago in the woods, and now it's Levant's turn to be the new Cocoon Master.
On the day of his initiation, which is also the day he marries his lovely girlfriend Mahbu, he receives his first dangerous mission.
Jade Cocoon is, at its core, a Pokémon -like monster-breeding RPG.
You must fight monsters and capture them once they become weak enough.
Then you have to experiment and to cross different kinds of monsters with each other, to obtain more powerful species which you can later use in battles.
The battles themselves are typical turn-based ones, with several menu choices, such as "Attack", "Defend","Catch" or "Item".
The monsters are all visible.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Jade Cocoon: Story of the Tamamayu for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Jade Cocoon: Story of the Tamamayu to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1998.
