Gust And Idea Factory Synthesize Girl’s Romance Game Atelier Elkrone

Hakuoki developer Idea Factory is teaming up with Atelier developer Gust to make an otome game. Mary is the main character in Atelier Elkrone: Dear for Otomate and she just inherited her grandmother’s atelier. She meets Popote and begins working at the studio.

Atelier Elkrone has a recipe system like the other Atelier titles, but instead of collecting ingredients players collect cards. While synthesis is a key part of the game, Atelier Elkrone is really about watching Mary fall in love with one of the dudes in the above video.

Atelier Elkrone: Dear for Otomate comes out on March 29 for PSP.
