Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist Of Memories & The Envisioned Land features a day-and-night system with four phases: morning, day, afternoon, and night. It’s a visually feast for the eyes, but as one might expect, it does include a handful of gameplay-affecting elements as well.

Here are the locations for all eight Puni Statues in the Karke Isles in Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key!
You can change the time of day in Atelier’s overworld regions by resting on beds and at campsites. This is all well and good, of course, but what’s the point? As of this writing, experience has thus far suggested that… there isn’t much. But there are some. Let’s take it from the top.
Albers
You may have encountered a few of those small creatures with large hats before Atelier Yumia’s storyline sends you to their settlement deep within the Lignatus Region. They’re called Albers, and they’re really quite nice.
Albers with variously-coloured hats can be found in various places throughout the world, and the gifts they’ll give you just for speaking with them will change according to the time of day. (The dialogue shifts, too.)
We noticed this via trial-and-error, and sure enough, the results do differ. You can head back to them for different items at various times, too, so don’t be a stranger.
Random Quest Conditions
A handful of Random Quests involve specific times of day for their conditions to be fulfilled.
The first instance of this we encountered was the Random Quest entitled “Eerie Sound”, which involves a frightened researcher tasking Yumia and the gang with entering a building to battle a Rock Golem which only appears at night.
It’s not much, but it’s something!
Bits Of Banter
Beyond all that, the day/night cycle in Atelier Yumia exists to trigger minor observations from your customarily chatty party members. If it’s nearing noon, for instance, someone might express their hunger. If you explored all night, Yumia may remark that she’s exhausted.
None of this dialogue affects any gameplay systems, so it’s simply there to enliven the adventure a little bit.
Thus, if you were hoping for a particularly deep system with all of this, you’re likely to be disappointed, but hey – the game is rather pretty, and the shifts from mornings into nights do help to showcase that.
