Get ready for an immersive journey with *Alcyone: The Last City*, an upcoming sci-fi visual novel crafted by Australian indie developer Joshua Meadows. Mark your calendars, as the game is set to launch on April 2nd, 2025, at 6 AM PST. Initially kickstarted through a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2017, this eagerly awaited title has been in the works for years and will soon be available across multiple platforms. Enjoy the experience on Windows, macOS, and Linux/SteamOS via Steam, as well as on Android and iOS, all with a single purchase.

What Do You Do When Everything Else Is Gone?

*Alcyone: The Last City* is not just another game; it's a deep dive into themes of survival, power, and consequential decision-making. This visual novel offers a vast, interactive narrative where your choices dramatically shape the storyline, the paths available, and the ultimate endings you encounter.

The setting is the last bastion of civilization, known simply as the City, which survived the cataclysmic event called the Nihility that obliterated the rest of the universe at the speed of light. For centuries, the Six Ruling Houses have governed this last refuge, maintaining a semblance of order and control. In Alcyone, life and death take on new meanings, where death is not always final. Dive into this unique world with a sneak peek at the trailer below.

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 yet carrying downloaded memories. Your journey involves navigating the complex web of political intrigue, betrayal, and survival. You can choose to work within the system, dismantle it, or manipulate it to serve your own ends.

With an expansive narrative boasting over 250,000 words and multiple branching paths, your decisions unlock or block various routes, leading to one of seven distinct endings. The game features five romance options, including aromantic pathways, and a rich RPG-inspired character system that lets you craft a persona reflective of your choices.

If you're drawn to titles like *Fallen London* or *Killing Time at Lightspeed*, or sci-fi narratives such as *Revelation Space* and *Pandora’s Star*, *Alcyone: The Last City* is a must-play. Keep an eye on the game's progress through its Kickstarter page or official website until its release.
