Alcyone: The Last City Is a Dystopian Sci-Fi Visual Novel, Out Now

Alcyone: The Last City has now made its debut on Android, Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS, and iOS. Crafted by the visionary Joshua Meadows, this game journeyed from a Kickstarter campaign launched in May 2017 to a full release after years of meticulous development and expansion.

What’s the Story?

Dive into a dark, dystopian future where The City stands as the final bastion in a shattered universe. Every choice you make weaves the narrative, with no do-overs—only the weight of your decisions and the lessons learned from them. You step into the shoes of a 'rebirth,' a character reborn in a cloned body with memories intact. You can choose to hail from the ruling elite or struggle as part of the underclass.

The City is a place of stark contrasts, governed by six Ruling Houses that enforce a rigid class system. The affluent revel in luxury, while the impoverished vie for mere survival. It's a powder keg waiting to ignite. The backdrop of this world stems from disastrous experiments with hyperspace and faster-than-light travel, leaving Alcyone: The Last City as the last fragile hope for humanity.
