Get ready for an eagerly awaited adventure with Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories and the Envisioned Land, from KOEI Tecmo America and Gust. This exciting sequel is set to hit consoles next week on March 21, and it’s shaping up to be a must-play. Let’s dive into what this game has in store!
Imagine a world that breathes life into our everyday experiences by weaving them into memories that nourish our very essence, our "Souls." Set against this backdrop, the game takes you on Yumia’s journey across a ravaged continent as she courageously steps toward the future.
The central theme here is "memory." We all have those pivotal moments when we must reckon with our past, revisiting the mosaic of both triumphs and setbacks that collectively shape us. Atelier Yumia poignantly explores how Yumia and her friends confront their personal histories, bravely embracing uncertainty to carve out their destiny.
Many eras ago, the Aladissian Empire dominated the continent, propelled to prominence by alchemy—a force powerful enough to fend off rivals. Yet a sudden, enigmatic cataclysm heralded its downfall. Fast forward several centuries, and alchemy is now viewed as a "dangerous art," branded as "evil" and "forbidden."
In these precarious lands, Yumia Reisfelt—a young alchemist—is on a mission. Following her mother’s tragic accident three years ago, Yumia stumbled upon her family’s alchemist roots, which stirred a whirlwind of questions. Why did the Aladiss Empire crumble? How did alchemy become taboo? Could it really be considered evil?
Determined to uncover the truth buried within these lands, Yumia sets out to piece together the lost history.
