"Alcyone: The Last City - Dystopian Sci-Fi Visual Novel Released"

"Alcyone: The Last City" has finally made its debut on Android, Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS, and iOS. Originally sparked by a Kickstarter campaign in May 2017, developer and publisher Joshua Meadows has brought this long-awaited project to life after years of dedication and development.

What’s the Story?

Dive into a dystopian future where "The City" stands as the final bastion after the universe crumbled. In "Alcyone: The Last City," your choices forge the narrative, with every decision echoing through your journey. There are no do-overs; only outcomes and the lessons learned from them.

You assume the role of a 'rebirth,' a character resurrected in a cloned body with retained memories. You can opt to be part of the ruling elite or struggle as a commoner in this harsh environment.

The City is dominated by six Ruling Houses enforcing a rigid class system. The affluent revel in luxury while the downtrodden vie for survival. Tensions are high, and the city is a powder keg waiting to ignite.

The backdrop of this world is rooted in catastrophic experiments with hyperspace and faster-than-light travel, which led to humanity's downfall. Now, Alcyone: The Last City clings to existence amidst the ruins.

What Does Alcyone: The Last City Look Like?

The game boasts crisp visuals and stunning hand-drawn digital art that perfectly encapsulates the gritty, shattered atmosphere of its setting. With nearly 250,000 words of adaptive narrative, the story evolves based on your choices. Take a moment to view the trailer for "Alcyone: The Last City" below.
