"Alcyone: The Last City - Dystopian Sci-Fi Visual Novel Released"

Alcyone: The Last City, the much-anticipated game, is now available on Android, Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS, and iOS. This project, brought to life by developer and publisher Joshua Meadows, began as a Kickstarter campaign in May 2017. After years of development and expansion, players can finally dive into this immersive world.

What’s the Story?

Set in a dystopian future, Alcyone: The Last City is the sole remnant of a universe that has crumbled. The narrative evolves based on your choices, with every decision impacting your journey. There are no do-overs; you must live with the consequences of your actions, making each playthrough a unique experience.

In the game, you assume the role of a 'rebirth,' a character who has died and been revived in a cloned body with retained memories. You can choose to be part of the ruling elite or struggle as part of the underclass.

The City is a harsh environment, ruled by six Ruling Houses that enforce a rigid class system. The wealthy enjoy luxury while the poor fight for survival. Tensions are high, and the city teeters on the brink of chaos.

The backstory involves catastrophic experiments with hyperspace and faster-than-light travel, leading to the universe's collapse. Alcyone: The Last City is all that remains, barely holding on.

What Does Alcyone: The Last City Look Like?

The game boasts striking visuals with beautifully crafted hand-drawn digital art that complements the gritty, shattered world. The story adapts to your choices, featuring nearly 250,000 words of narrative. Here's a trailer to give you a sense of what to expect:

What stands out about Alcyone: The Last City is its commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. The developers have implemented high-contrast, color-blindness-aware palettes, labeled art elements, dyslexic-friendly fonts, and full compatibility with screen reader systems like VoiceOver.

The game offers seven core endings and five different romance options, including pathways for aromantic players. With cross-platform compatibility, you only need to make one purchase to play across all your devices. For more details, visit the official website of the game.
