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

Mark your calendars, sci-fi fans! The eagerly awaited visual novel, Alcyone: The Last City, developed by the Australian indie creator Joshua Meadows, is set to launch on April 2nd, 2025, at 6 AM PST.

What Do You Do When Everything Else Is Gone?

Alcyone: The Last City isn't just another visual novel; it's a gripping tale of survival, power, and consequential choices. Set in the universe's last remaining city after the catastrophic event known as the Nihility, which obliterated everything in its path at the speed of light, Alcyone stands as a beacon of hope. This city, simply referred to as the City, has been shielded from the void for centuries under the governance of the Six Ruling Houses. Here, life continues, but with a twist—death isn't always final. Dive into the world of Alcyone: The Last City with a sneak peek 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 memories downloaded into your consciousness. Your journey involves navigating the complex web of political intrigue, betrayal, and survival. Will you align with the system, dismantle it, or manipulate it to serve your own ends? With a staggering 250,000 words of branching narrative, your choices will unlock or block paths, leading to one of seven distinct endings. The game also offers five romance options, including aromantic pathways, and a robust RPG-inspired character system that allows you to craft a persona that mirrors your decisions.
