Finding and planting seeds will give the player new weapons, for a total of eight possible. The game's graphics are 2D and make extensive use of the CD-ROM format to have higher quality graphics, sound and music, as well as greater length than would be possible in cartridge format.

Linkle Liver Story is set in the fairy tale world of Mamuna, which is inhabited by demi-humans. Mamuna is ruled by a figure named Muma, a user of dark magic who has ruled the planet as an authoritarian. However, his power is beginning to wane, and he may vanish if he can't find a new source of power. Trying to prevent this, his evil forces have conquered the land of Four Seasons. Kitsch, a fox girl, joins forces with small woodland animals to fight back. Kitsch is accompanied in her adventure by a squirrel, Balel, and a rabbit, Lalala. Her third partner, Puchimuku, is a seed that grows throughout the game.

The game was developed by Nextech, who had previously made the games Crusader of Centy and Ranger X for the Sega Genesis. According to Sega developer Masato Nishimura, the game was originally called Ragnacenty 2 and was therefore supposed to be the sequel to Ragnacenty / Crusader of Centy / Soleil.

Linkle Liver Story was released on March 15, 1996 for the Sega Saturn video game console, and was published by Sega. The game was released only in Japan. In 2019 however, the game was translated into English through a fan translation. In addition to the game, the translation team also translated the game's manual.
