We live our lives day by day, constantly weaving new memories. Through these experiences, we nurture and develop our “Souls”. As the story unfolds across a ravaged continent, it chronicles Yumia’s journey towards a hopeful tomorrow.
This installment is centered around the theme of “memory.” It’s about those pivotal moments when one must face their past and their personal “memories.” Every experience—triumphs and setbacks alike—serves as fuel for the future, shaping who we become.
“Atelier Yumia” is an evocative narrative of Yumia and her comrades as they confront their pasts. Despite uncertainties, they bravely carve out their own path forward.
In the storyline, we encounter the Aladissian Empire—a realm that once thrived on a certain continent. It stood out thanks to its exceptional advancements in alchemy, which kept rival nations at a distance. However, a sudden and incomprehensible catastrophe brought it to its knees.
Fast forward a few centuries, and alchemy now holds a dark reputation as “a dangerous art that brings destruction.” It’s deemed “evil” and strictly “taboo” in this new era.
Amidst this land, which is both forbidden and fraught with peril, steps a solitary alchemist, Yumia Reisfelt. Three years before, an accident claimed her mother’s life, prompting Yumia to explore her roots as a descendant of alchemists, stirring countless questions within her.
Why did Aladiss meet its ruin? How did alchemy become a “taboo”? And is it truly as “evil” as they say?
Driven by a belief that these answers lie within the continent’s forgotten history, Yumia embarks on an exploration to uncover the truth.
