What’s the Story?

You step into the shoes of a 'rebirth,' a character who has experienced death and been resurrected in a cloned body with restored memories. You have the freedom to choose your background, whether as part of the ruling elite or as someone struggling to survive.

The City is a harsh environment, governed by six Ruling Houses that enforce a rigid class system. The affluent enjoy luxury while the less fortunate battle for survival. Tensions are high, and the city is a powder keg waiting to ignite.

The backdrop of this world is a result of catastrophic experiments with hyperspace and faster-than-light travel, which led to humanity's downfall. Now, Alcyone: The Last City is humanity's last hope, teetering on the brink of extinction.
