Official Site: https://www.koeitecmoamerica.com/marie/
Release date: 13-07-2023.
 
I usually only like play 1 atelier a year but decided to make an exception
since this is a remake of the very first atelier game. There are no plot spoilers
in this post but I do share a few screenshots and CG's.
 
Pro's
- A remake of the original that isn't anymore or less than it used to be.
- Cute graphical style that give it a charming vibe.
- Interesting characters, made me want to replay atleast once to see their events!
 
Con's
- Game is overall too easy and i'd go as far as saying there is too much time.
- Annoying minigames for no reason... thankfully most are one and done.
 
Story is rather simple, Marie is a basically a failure and gets the worst scores
in the entire alchemy academy but she gets an extra chance since she still somehow
has some potential and its up to you if she even passes her exam!
 
More rambles after the jump...
