Akash: Path of the Five is a professionally-produced, fully voiced otome visual novel.
Players will become Aurora, a member of a magical race of elementals. As the first elemental girl the village has seen in over 200 years, all eyes are on her fast-approaching coming of age ceremony. 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.
This is the best otome, visual novel I have played hands down, everything is immersive and fun! The art scenery and voice acting is one point just overall fun roller coaster so far! I love love love it!
Pick it up for an interesting worldbuilding concept, and to date super boyfriends while being super yourself. Lovely voice acting. Very escapist.
HOWEVER:
~the routes, save one, are extremely repetitive (as others have said)
~a few of the LI insufferable (and unfortunately one-note, that's kinda just who they are)
~the plot is skin deep and had me cringing...
