Atelier Ayesha Plus: The Alchemist of Dusk is sure to fulfill the desires of every alchemy RPG fan with new features, battle system additions, and brand-new storyline and characters.

Atelier Ayesha Plus: The Alchemist of Dusk follows the story of Ayesha Altugle, a girl who has been living alone in a secluded workshop ever since her grandfather died and her younger sister went missing a few years ago. She supports herself by making and selling medicine. As the story begins, she finds out that her younger sister IS alive somewhere in the world. Now, she must devote herself to finding her younger sister. Her journey to keep her promise begins…

The enhanced PlayStation Vita version brings new features including dual audio, new costumes and accessories, a hard mode, Album missions and reimagined bosses (Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky) and characters formerly only available as paid DLC, including the strong-minded government official, Marion and Odelia, the alchemy created automaton (self-operating mechanical doll) tasked by her maker to guard the ancient Zweiteturm library— all with the ability to transfer almost all content from the original PlayStation 3 version.

New costumes for Ayesha, Linca and Wilbell in Atelier Ayesha Plus: The Alchemist of Dusk include the Vierze Lady, Crimson Flower, Chrysanthemum Profusion, Night Blossom, Magical Swimmer, Dark Valkyrie and others. The characters can be further customized with head accessories such as the Romanesque Hat, Moon Circlet, Cat Ear Hairband and Sunglasses, with facial accessories to be revealed soon!

Rewards will be revealed to players as they advance their adventure through each of the Album missions. These include exclusive bonuses such as the ability to change characters at any time, free battle mode, additional costumes including Snow Breeze, Urban Cat and Wonder Girl, plus other rewards.
