"Alcyone: The Last City" launches as dystopian sci-fi visual novel

Oct 16,25(6 hours ago)

Alcyone: The Last City Now Available on Multiple Platforms After Crowdfunding Success

Alcyone: The Last City has officially launched across Android, Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS and iOS platforms. This narrative-driven experience was developed and published by Joshua Meadows, originating from a successful Kickstarter campaign in May 2017. After years of meticulous development and expansion, players can now explore this immersive cyberpunk world.

A Compelling Dystopian Narrative

The game transports players to a grim future where The City stands as humanity's final bastion in a collapsed universe. Your decisions carry permanent weight - there are no reloads or do-overs, only consequences that shape your unique story experience.

Players assume the role of a 'rebirth' - a character who has died and been resurrected in a cloned body with restored memories. You can create a privileged elite character or craft a struggling underdog fighting for survival.

The setting depicts a society teetering on the brink, ruthlessly controlled by six Ruling Houses enforcing strict class divisions. While the aristocracy thrives, the impoverished masses fight for basic necessities in this powder-keg environment.

The world's downfall traces back to catastrophic hyperspace experiments that backfired spectacularly. Now only Alcyone: The Last City remains - a fragile last hope clinging to existence.

Visual and Narrative Excellence

Alcyone: The Last City showcases striking hand-drawn digital art that perfectly complements its cyberpunk dystopia. The branching narrative offers approximately 250,000 words of dynamic storytelling that evolves with your choices.

Notable accessibility features include: high-contrast modes, color-blind friendly palettes, clearly labeled art elements, dyslexia-optimized fonts, and full screen reader compatibility. The game features seven core endings and five romance paths (including aromantic options) across multiple playthroughs.

A single purchase grants cross-platform access, eliminating the need for multiple platform-specific purchases. Visit the official website for more details.
