Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX

this game is so great i just forgot to finish it and its draining because you have to use a guide otherwise its stressful because theres a time limit.. other than that its lovely the world and music is so dreamlike this whole game is like when you got sick as a kid and laid in bed all day having a weird fever dream about being an alchemist in a medieval fantasy world or was that just me.. and ayesha is so sweet as well i love her design its all flowery and REGINA this game is worth playing just for her her relationship with ayesha is so cuteee and regina is actually gay for ayesha but ayesha is actually homophobic yeah it gets pretty messy no i dont know what a "run-on sentence" is honestly i just wanna get through this game so i can get to the other 2 in the trilogy which look even better but the main plot of this one was actually randomly generated so you have no idea how to finish the game without a guide which is like, not cool dude..

A very cute and delightful game with a really good crafting system that my fried brain at times. The time limit seems daunting at first but after you beat the main story and see you still have time to spare you realize how lenient it is

i really like ayesha, but honestly, this is more of a game you'll enjoy on more playthroughs. there is a lot of stuff you can miss if you're doing it blind, including endings, and a guide is really needed for your first time playing. but this game has a lot of charm that i can't help but appreciate, even though i haven't really gotten used to the alchemy in the game. you don't have to completely open your third eye to finish the game, just get caught up with your alchemy as much as you can because you need to level it up and progress the story. bosses will become a bit of endurance tests, but you can still finish it.
