Get ready, sci-fi fans! The highly anticipated visual novel, Alcyone: The Last City, developed by the talented Australian indie creator Joshua Meadows, is finally set to launch on April 2nd, 2025, at 6 AM PST. After years in development and a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2017, this immersive game will be available for a one-time purchase across multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS via Steam, and on Android and iOS devices.
Alcyone: The Last City is not just a game; it's a narrative journey into a world of survival, power, and impactful decision-making. Set in the last remaining city in the universe, players will navigate through a complex web of choices that shape their entire experience. The backdrop of this gripping tale is the aftermath of the Nihility, a catastrophic event that obliterated everything at the speed of light, leaving only Alcyone—the City—standing, protected by its walls from the encroaching void.
Life in Alcyone continues under the strict governance of the Six Ruling Houses, where the cycle of living, working, and dying takes on a unique twist—death isn't always the end. Dive into this intriguing universe and see what awaits you by watching the trailer below.
In Alcyone: The Last City, you step into the shoes of a 'rebirth'—a character reborn with downloaded memories, offering a fresh start with a twist. Your journey will be filled with political intrigue, betrayal, and the struggle for survival. Align with the existing system, work to dismantle it, or manipulate it to serve your own ends—the choice is yours.
With a massive narrative exceeding 250,000 words and branching paths, your decisions will unlock or block different routes, leading to one of seven distinct endings. The game features five romance options, including pathways for those who prefer an aromantic journey. Additionally, a rich RPG-inspired character system allows you to craft a persona that mirrors your choices and reflects your unique story.
If you're drawn to immersive storytelling found in games like Fallen London or Killing Time at Lightspeed, or enjoy sci-fi narratives such as Revelation Space and Pandora’s Star, Alcyone: The Last City is a must-play. While you wait for the release, you can explore more about the game on its Kickstarter page or official website.
