Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book - Playstation 4

The protagonist of Atelier Sophie: ~The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book~ is the alchemist novice Sophie Neuenmuller who lives in a small town. One day she finds a speaking book which bears not only the soul of the alchemist Platcha, but also promises of a powerful alchemy item. Unfortunately the book suffers from amnesia which has to be countered by adding new alchemy recipes.

The biggest change in comparison to the earlier part of the series is the removal of the time limits (except for a few side quests). To gain recipes and progress in the plot, Sophie simply has to follow her ideas (basically hints for what to do next), e.g. visiting a location, defeating a monster or talking to someone. Time still plays an important part because the night/day cycle, day of the week and weather influences the behavior of the town people and which ingredients/enemies can be found in the game world.
