Game of the Month: Akash: Path of the Five

[chrry]

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.

I remember seeing stuff about this game years ago and being interested, and then disappointed when I discovered it was going to be released only for PS4. I didn't realize it got released for PC too until I saw that bundle a few months ago. I'm glad they decided to release it for more platforms~

30 hours of gameplay, 25 endings, 5+1 love interests, over 80 CGs, fully voiced...

This game looks pretty fancy, like way too fancy... I'm not sure my laptop can handle this tbh lol If anyone else is in the same boat, know that there is a free demo available you can try before spending your money. Also the game is currently 30% off, but for less than 2 days.

Pretty! My tl;dr review: This is a fun m/f dating sim set in a fantasy world. You play The Only Girl Elemental as she decides how she feels about magic, love, and the expectations placed upon her to Make Magic Babies. It's not super deep but is fairly well written, with ok art and voice acting, an entertaining fantasy plot, and cute romances. I laughed out loud a few times and had mild but enjoyable feels. While mildly sexy, it uses it's premise for The Most Special Girl power fantasy, not dubcon porniness.

It gets a bit repetitive plotwise, and has a lot of cute, bantery low-conflict friends-to-lovers. But it's a lot of fun for what it is, and I'm surprised I haven't heard more people talking about it.
