Akigami (秋神) is a piece written for the start town of a game that does not yet exist. I very much hope that its story is one day told.

Inspired by several places in the Zelda series, as well as Shinkai’s Your Name, Akigami (roughly translated as “guardian spirit of autumn” or “god of autumn”) is a fictional pastoral village famous for its autumn foliage.
