Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky DX[Note 1] is a singleplayer third-person JRPG game developed by Gust Co. Ltd. and published by Koei Tecmo. It is part of the Atelier series.
The game itself is an enhanced re-release of the console-exclusive 2015 PlayStation Vita game Atelier Escha & Logy Plus: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky[Note 2], which itself is an enhanced port of the original 2013 PlayStation 3 game Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky[Note 3], the second entry in the Dusk subseries.
The DX re-release includes content and gameplay additions from the Plus re-release, as well as some quality-of-life adjustment such as abilities to dash in the free roam and fast forwarding during battle. Initially released for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in Japan on December 25, 2019, the PC version was released worldwide on January 14, 2020 alongside the console versions' worldwide release.

Widescreen resolution | |||
Multi-monitor | |||
Ultra-widescreen | Only natively supports 16:9 resolutions. See Ultra-widescreen for instructions. | ||
4K Ultra HD | Only natively supports 16:9 resolutions. Manually change the values of ScreenWidth= to 3840 and ScreenHeight= to 2160 in the configuration file. |
||
Field of view (FOV) | |||
Windowed | |||
Borderless fullscreen windowed | Confirmed to work with Borderless Gaming. You need to manually set the values of ScreenWidth= and ScreenHeight= to the desired height and width (your desktop's) in the configuration file. |
||
Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Requires the Atelier Sync Fix. Open the atfix.ini (created after starting the game with the fix installed) in <path-to-game> and change the value of AF = to a number from 1 to 16. |
||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | Requires the Atelier Sync Fix. MSAA and SSAA are available with the fix. Open the atfix.ini (created after starting the game with the fix installed) in <path-to-game> and change the value of FullSSAA = to 1. MSAA is enabled by default with the fix installed. |

High-fidelity upscaling | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Vertical sync (Vsync) | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
60 FPS and 120+ FPS | |||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. | ||
Ray tracing (RT) |
Ultra-widescreen
- The game allows completely arbitrary resolutions by editing the configuration file.
- Changing the aspect ratio can cause UI elements to compress, stretch, shrink, enlarge, be placed incorrectly or to disappear entirely.
- Fitting the UI will not solve all UI issues.
