The game Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories was announced for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console, and its release is scheduled for early 2027. In this installment, players will return to the continent of Aladiss, which first appeared in Atelier Yumia. The plot will revolve around the amnesiac alchemist Karia and her journey through a mysterious underground world along with new companions.
Unique food mechanic
As the game's development continues, the team at Gust studio is seeking feedback from fans. A recent survey by Koei Tecmo revealed interesting ideas regarding the gameplay. One of the questions concerned the implementation of a mechanic where the main heroine's figure will change depending on her eating habits.
Although this feature is not yet finalized, the developers are considering making Karia become slightly plumper if she eats or snacks a lot. Over game time, her figure will gradually return to normal. Since cooking and consuming food play an important role in the game, such a dynamic seems quite logical to the creators.
Survey results and additional content
In addition to food, the developers also asked players about their preferred alternative outfits for Karia. Among the 8 proposed options, the most prominent were:
- Visual Kei style;
- Gothic Lolita;
- Kigurumi costumes.
According to an update from August 14, Gust studio shared the interim survey results: almost 80% of players supported the idea of changing the heroine's figure through food. You can participate in the survey and influence the further development of the game until August 23, 2026.
