Mark your calendars, sci-fi enthusiasts! Alcyone: The Last City, the highly anticipated visual novel from Australian indie developer Joshua Meadows, is set to launch on April 2nd, 2025, at 6 AM PST. Originally kickstarted in 2017, this game has been years in the making and is now ready to captivate players on Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS via Steam, as well as on Android and iOS platforms.

What Do You Do When Everything Else Is Gone?

In Alcyone: The Last City, dive into a gripping tale of survival, power, and impactful decision-making. This expansive interactive novel thrusts you into a universe where your choices shape the narrative, altering paths and determining one of many possible endings.

Set in the last bastion of civilization, the City, formerly known as Alcyone, survived the catastrophic Nihility—an event that obliterated everything at the speed of light. For centuries, the City has been governed by the Six Ruling Houses, maintaining a semblance of order in a world where death is not always final. Get a sneak peek into this immersive universe below.

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

Step into the shoes of a 'rebirth,' a new entity with downloaded memories, in Alcyone: The Last City. Your journey involves navigating the complexities of political intrigue, facing betrayal, and striving for survival. You can choose to uphold, dismantle, or manipulate the system to your benefit.

With a sprawling narrative exceeding 250,000 words, your decisions will unlock or block paths, leading to one of seven distinct endings. The game offers five romance options, including aromantic paths, and a robust RPG-inspired character system that allows you to craft a persona that mirrors your choices.

If you enjoy immersive experiences like Fallen London or Killing Time at Lightspeed, or delve into sci-fi literature such as Revelation Space and Pandora’s Star, Alcyone: The Last City is poised to be your next favorite. Stay tuned until its release by visiting its Kickstarter page or official website.
