Get ready for the much-anticipated sci-fi visual novel, Alcyone: The Last City, brought to you by Australian indie developer Joshua Meadows. Mark your calendars because the game is set to launch on April 2nd, 2025, at 6 AM PST. Originally kickstarted through a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2017, this game has been years in the making and is now ready to captivate players across multiple platforms. Upon release, you'll be able to dive into this immersive experience on Windows, macOS, and Linux/SteamOS via Steam, as well as on Android and iOS devices.

What Do You Do When Everything Else Is Gone?

Alcyone: The Last City is not just a game; it's a deep dive into themes of survival, power, and the weight of your choices. This visual novel is a vast, interactive narrative where your decisions dynamically alter your journey and its multiple endings.

Set in the last remaining city in the universe, the story unfolds in a world where civilization was obliterated by an event known as the Nihility, a force that consumed everything at the speed of light. Alcyone, now simply called the City, stands alone, protected from the void by its walls. For centuries, life within has been governed by the Six Ruling Houses, maintaining a semblance of order. In Alcyone, death isn't always the end, adding a unique twist to life and survival. Get a sneak peek into this fascinating world with the trailer below.

What Do You Play As in Alcyone: The Last City, the Visual Novel?

In Alcyone: The Last City, you step into the shoes of a "rebirth," a character with downloaded memories starting anew. Your role allows you to navigate the complex world of Alcyone by either aligning with the system, dismantling it, or manipulating it to serve your own ends. The game is rich with political intrigue, betrayal, and the struggle for survival.

With an expansive narrative boasting over 250,000 words and numerous branching paths, your choices lead to one of seven core endings. The game also offers five romance options, including pathways for those who prefer aromantic narratives. Additionally, a deep RPG-inspired character system allows you to craft a persona that truly mirrors your choices and actions.

If you're drawn to immersive games like Fallen London or Killing Time at Lightspeed, or if you enjoy sci-fi epics such as Revelation Space and Pandora’s Star, Alcyone: The Last City promises to be a compelling addition to your gaming library.
