Sayurin's Magical Quest (or Magical Girl Sayurin's Magical Quest / Majokko Sayurin no Majikaru Kuesuto / 魔女っ子さゆりんのまじかるクエスト) is one of many games in Chinchilla Softhouse's large and prolific roster of doujin games. It's an Action/RPG hybrid based on the popular Japanese visual novel, manga, and anime series, Kanon, and stars the likeable Sayuri Kurata, Mai Kawasumi's closest female friend. She is portrayed (more than usual) as a magical girl who goes on a quest when Yuichi is injured and Mai is mysteriously kidnapped by a strange cloaked man. It is also called Sayuri's Magical Quest.

For its time, Sayurin's Magical Quest was a pretty impressive doujin game with nice, colorful graphics, a decent soundtrack, lots of dialogue and side-quests, and an impressive amount of spoken dialogue where almost everything is fully-voiced and fluid. The game was originally intended to be part of a trilogy, but only two games were completed. The third game was in production but was tragically cancelled due to financial constraints and time. True to her polite and caring nature, Sayuri loves helping people, is slightly ditzy, refers to herself in third-person, and has her signature quirk of laughing as "Ahaha" (sometimes extended a little). This game doesn't focus much on the more serious aspects of the characters' pasts and is family-friendly with funny spoofs.

The game is your standard side-scrolling action game with some RPG elements. You get items and skills you can buy/equip, fight monsters with drops and who offer money, have various puzzles to solve and characters to rescue,  level-ups to be gained, and it feels like a proper old school ARPG game with a slight challenge curve. Sayuri can only shoot small, slower magical bolts early on (which are annoying to hit small enemies with), but can use various spells later and her primary attack grows a little larger with each level, not to mention she gets a little stronger and moves a little faster as well. She'll also be able to charge it. There are a few exceptions that seperate it from some ARPGs though. 

For one, you are always flying; some areas are outdoors and others are indoors, but you are always flying in this game. The game also has a major emphasis on helping people (more than you may be used to), as this is what Sayuri tries her best to do-- you'll almost always fight enemies to gather certain ingredients, searching dungeons for various items, and interacting with NPCs constantly, so it's not just about getting a set objective, going in a dungeon, doing it, and then never meeting past NPCs ever again; you'll interact with familiar characters often. This isn't to say it has a deep plot, but that you will interact with many of the same characters often, which can be nice in its own right.

The game isn't very long but will take a pretty long time if you don't understand any Japanese, as it's not the most straightforward ARPG I've ever played. If you know what to do, this "Prologue" can take a few hours to complete. It's enjoyable once you gain a few levels and good while it lasts. This is a video showing some things in the game w/ transitions. Enjoy.
