Also new to the PSP version is a data installment feature, which installs part of the game onto the memory stick to make the game load quicker.

The 4th entry in the RPG series, Mana Khemia is different from the previous Atelier Iris games. Mana Khemia is a campus sim style RPG, where you can interact with classmates and professors to complete academic quests. You play as Vayne Aurelius, a novice alchemist who was invited to attend Al-Revis Academy. At the academy, Vayne will meet human and not so human(?) alchemists, and together you will solve the mysteries of alchemy.

With an all new multi-player mode, players can now team up and hunt down monsters to get rare items. Also new to the PSP version is a data installment feature which installs part of the game onto the memory stick to make the game load quicker.
