Akin is a hybrid adventure/platform game created by the Dutch amateur software producer Parallax for the MSX-2 home computer system. The game takes place in a distant future, where human's consciousnesses (called 'souls' in the game) can be up- and downloaded between different hardware after their deaths. The player controls Ducane Seven, a simple droid, into whom the soul of a woman named Gwendolyn Irish is downloaded at the start of the game.
