"Alcyone: The Last City - Sci-Fi Novel with Multiple Endings Launches Soon"

Get ready for an immersive journey into the future with Alcyone: The Last City, the eagerly anticipated sci-fi visual novel from Australian indie developer Joshua Meadows. Mark your calendars for April 2nd, 2025, at 6 AM PST, as this long-awaited game finally hits the shelves. Initially kickstarted back in 2017, Alcyone: The Last City has been meticulously crafted over the years and is now ready to launch across multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS via Steam, and mobile devices on Android and iOS.

What Do You Do When Everything Else Is Gone?

Alcyone: The Last City thrusts players into a gripping narrative about survival, power, and the weight of choices. This isn't just a game; it's a vast interactive novel where your every decision shapes the story, branching into different paths and leading to various endings. Set in the last remaining city in the universe, the backdrop is a civilization that fell to the Nihility—an event that obliterated everything in its path at the speed of light. Alcyone, now simply referred to as the City, stands as the sole survivor, shielded from the void by its protective walls.

For centuries, the City has been governed by the Six Ruling Houses, maintaining a delicate balance of order and control. Life here is unlike anything you've seen before; death itself is not the end. Dive into the world of Alcyone: The Last City 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 new entity with a set of downloaded memories, offering you a fresh start. Your journey can lead you to align with the existing system, dismantle it, or manipulate it to suit your needs. The game is steeped in political intrigue, betrayal, and the constant fight for survival.

With a narrative exceeding 250,000 words, your choices not only define your path but also unlock one of seven unique endings. The game features five romance options, including pathways for those who prefer an aromantic journey. Moreover, it boasts a rich RPG-inspired character system that allows you to craft a persona that mirrors your decisions and values.

If you're a fan of interactive narratives like Fallen London or Killing Time at Lightspeed, or if you're drawn to sci-fi epics such as Revelation Space and Pandora's Star, Alcyone: The Last City is poised to captivate you. While you wait for the release, explore more on the game's Kickstarter page or its official website.
