Alcyone: The Last City has made its debut on Android, Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS, and iOS. Originally a Kickstarter project launched by Joshua Meadows in May 2017, the game has evolved over the years and is now available to players worldwide.

What's the Story?

Set in a grim, dystopian future, Alcyone: The Last City is the sole remnant of a universe that has collapsed. The narrative is heavily influenced by your decisions, with each choice carrying significant consequences and shaping your unique experience. There are no do-overs; every decision matters, and you must live with the outcomes.

You take on the role of a 'rebirth,' someone who has died and been resurrected in a cloned body with intact memories. You can choose your background, either from the ruling elite or as someone struggling to survive.

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

The backdrop of this world is a series of catastrophic experiments with hyperspace and faster-than-light travel that led to the universe's downfall. Now, Alcyone: The Last City is humanity's last stand, teetering on the edge of oblivion.

What Does Alcyone: The Last City Look Like?

The game boasts stunning visuals with hand-drawn digital art that complements its gritty, dystopian setting. The narrative dynamically adjusts to your choices, offering an expansive story with nearly 250,000 words. To get a feel for the game, check out the trailer below.

One of the standout features of Alcyone: The Last City is its commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. The developers have included 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. It's also cross-platform, meaning a single purchase grants access across all supported devices. For more information, visit the official website of the game.
