About:
Akash: Path of the Five is a fully voiced visual novel in the otome style. Players will become Aurora, a member of a magical race of elementals.

All is not as it seems, however, as tensions between Akash and a nearby human settlement threaten to erupt into an all-out war. Cultivate a romance with one of her five classmates, navigate the coming conflict, and plan the greatest coming of age ceremony Akash has seen in over two centuries.

Reviews:
“Between the stunning visuals, terrific voice acting, and composer Fat Bard’s evocative soundtrack, Akash: Path of the Five is an artistic feast.”RPGfan“It’s impeccably well-written and features an all-star voice cast that brings each character to life. Packed with wicked humour, likeable characters, and lots of romance, anyone with an appreciation for otome is sure to be pleased”Nintenpedia“[Akash]…is a game full of good messages for women and girls, or anyone really, and all of the interactions – and thoughts Aurora has about her wants, needs, and boundaries – are good portrayals of how a healthy relationship should function; where we are able to express our concerns and feelings.”LadiesGamers
