The game spins a tale that intertwines our daily lives with the memories we create, depicting how they shape our very souls. This adventure, spread across a continent left in ruins, takes our protagonist Yumia on a voyage toward future possibilities, even as she grapples with her past. With “memory” as the central theme, it delves into those moments when individuals face their own histories and the collective memories that mold them, learning and growing from both triumphs and setbacks.
This intriguing narrative follows Yumia and her crew as they engage with their personal histories, striving forward despite the unknowns, staying true to their chosen path. The story takes us back to the once-glorious Aladissian Empire, a powerhouse nation fortified by alchemy, which mysteriously fell victim to a catastrophic event. Fast forward several centuries and alchemy, once celebrated, is now shunned as a harrowing, forbidden art.
In this altered world, where alchemy is regarded with apprehension, Yumia Reisfelt, an alchemist herself, steps forward. Following a tragic accident that took her mother’s life three years prior, she uncovered her alchemical lineage, prompting her quest for answers. What led to Aladiss’s downfall? Why has alchemy become anathema? Yumia seeks the truth behind these questions, convinced that the lost chronicles of history lie hidden within this forbidding land.
Featuring open-world exploration, Atelier Yumia allows players to traverse a continent brimming with mystery. The expansive land beckons with opportunities for crafting, item synthesis, and constructing a personalized base using the “Simple Synthesis” and “Building” mechanics. You can gather resources, forge helpful tools, and place furniture as you see fit, tailoring your adventure to your tastes and needs. It’s a world where exploration and creativity intertwine, inviting you to leave your mark on the unfolding story.
