About Atelier Yumia

At its core, Atelier Yumia is a story-driven, alchemy-focused RPG where players take on the role of Yumia Liessfeldt, a young alchemist searching for answers about her family’s past and the collapse of the Aladissian Empire. Setting out alongside an eclectic cast of companions, Yumia seeks to uncover the truth behind the mysterious cataclysm that marked alchemy as taboo.

Her quest unfolds in a richly detailed world of distinct biomes, lost history, and uncharted ruins. Players gather resources, craft powerful items, and fight enemies in dynamic, real-time battles. Beyond exploration and combat, the game explores personal growth and reflects on themes of trauma and memory reconstruction.
