"Alcyone: The Last City - Upcoming Sci-Fi Visual Novel with Multiple Endings"

Mark your calendars! The much-anticipated sci-fi visual novel, Alcyone: The Last City, crafted by Australian indie developer Joshua Meadows, is set to launch on April 2nd, 2025, at 6 AM PST. After a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2017, fans have eagerly awaited this release, which promises a deep, interactive narrative experience across multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS via Steam, and on Android and iOS.

What Do You Do When Everything Else Is Gone?

In Alcyone: The Last City, you dive into a world where survival, power, and consequential choices reign supreme. This visual novel unfolds in the universe's last city, which survived the catastrophic event known as the Nihility—a force that obliterated everything at the speed of light. Now, this city, simply called the City, stands as a bastion against the void, governed by the Six Ruling Houses that maintain order and control over its inhabitants. In this world, death isn't always final, adding layers of complexity to life and decision-making.

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

Step into the shoes of a 'rebirth' in Alcyone: The Last City, a character with a fresh start but equipped with downloaded memories. Your journey involves navigating the political landscape, deciding whether to align with the system, dismantle it, or manipulate it to your benefit. The game is rich with themes of political intrigue, betrayal, and survival, offering over 250,000 words of branching narrative. Your choices will lead to one of seven distinct endings and allow for five romance options, including aromantic paths. The RPG-inspired character system lets you craft a persona that truly embodies your decisions, making every playthrough unique.
