The air smells of dead sunflowers and roses.— AkaManah

AkaManah is a classic myth, well known for their puzzle-based game, and their relations to the Cult Family.

Biography

AkaManah was created along with ManahVohu at an unknown time. The two were made to be opposites of each other, Aka being the bad, Vohu being the good. The two would fight for centuries always resulting in a stalemale, the two were known to be the acting forces of multiple universes across many of the Cult Family timelines as demons.

AkaManah during the Cult Family timeline has been cited to be the cause of SmithCult's downfall and reason for becoming the all father of the family, Aka would sit in the shadows watching and pulling the strings of the family under the guise that Smith was the one. However, it was revealed that Aka had a fascination with how the family developed across multiple timelines in Apartments. Over the decades of the Cult Family they would watch and "haunt" the family, during David's bash to the head they used this as an opportunity to allow DavidCult to speak to SmithCult. At this point in time Aka is currently haunting EmmettCult for an unknown reason.

During the events of Enigma, AkaManah would be taking a spot in an Apartment room. It can be seen though that this Apartment room was actually empty and it was vacant in an earlier version, during an Albert video the first event of Apartments occurs where a murder occurs directly across the room where Albert is staying. Jamie would soon enter the Apartment building after winning a card game and take up a room apparently investigating the case under the impression that there was something else involved.

Games

Apartments

"Once a place of beauty and luxury, now ran down to the end of it's time. Sometimes the doors should stay locked." much like the original Apartments this game has multiple rooms that can be entered. Like the original layout we can assume the room on the east wing contains a body like seen in the Flamingo video. While two west wing doors are open the contents don't offer much, the blue pork pie in the far west wing room seems to point to being another character's room: Jamie_Freakshow. The other of the other room is unknown. If a player goes up the ladder in the apartment stairs they can find a rooftop which appeared in the original Apartments game, if you instead go down the stairs and walk to the end of the hallway a trigger will occur opening the elevator doors on the floor you spawn on leading to the sewers.

Demon (unavailable)
