Get ready for an immersive journey into the future with *Alcyone: The Last City*, the much-anticipated sci-fi visual novel from Australian indie developer Joshua Meadows. Mark your calendars for the game's release on April 2nd, 2025, at 6 AM PST. After years in development, initially funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2017, *Alcyone: The Last City* is set to hit the shelves. You'll be able to dive into this captivating narrative across multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS via Steam, and mobile devices on Android and iOS, all with a single purchase.
In *Alcyone: The Last City*, you're thrust into a world where survival hangs by a thread, power is everything, and your choices have real consequences. This visual novel presents a sprawling interactive story where your decisions shape the narrative, determining the paths you explore and the endings you achieve.
The setting is the last bastion of humanity, simply called the City, the sole survivor after the catastrophic event known as the Nihility swept through the universe at the speed of light, obliterating everything in its path. Within the City's protective walls, life persists under the stringent rule of the Six Ruling Houses. Here, the concept of death is redefined, adding a unique twist to the narrative. Get a sneak peek at what awaits in *Alcyone: The Last City* with the trailer below.
In this gripping tale, you embody a 'rebirth'—a new entity with the memories of the past. Your journey is about navigating the intricate web of political intrigue, betrayal, and survival. You can choose to align with the existing system, dismantle it, or manipulate it to serve your own ends.
With a vast narrative comprising over 250,000 words of branching storylines, your choices will unlock or block different paths, leading to one of seven distinct core endings. The game offers five romance options, including paths for those preferring aromantic journeys, and a rich, RPG-inspired character system that allows you to craft a persona that truly mirrors your decision-making.
If you're a fan of immersive narrative experiences like *Fallen London* or *Killing Time at Lightspeed*, or drawn to the sci-fi universes of *Revelation Space* and *Pandora's Star*, *Alcyone: The Last City* promises to be an enthralling addition to your library. Stay tuned by visiting the game's Kickstarter page or official website until its launch.
