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

Get ready, sci-fi and visual novel fans! The highly anticipated Alcyone: The Last City from Australian indie developer Joshua Meadows has finally set a release date. Mark your calendars for April 2nd, 2025, at 6 AM PST, when this intriguing game will make its debut. Funded initially through a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2017, Alcyone: The Last City has been in development for years and is now poised to launch across multiple platforms. You'll be able to dive into this immersive world on Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS via Steam, as well as on Android and iOS devices with a single purchase.

What Do You Do When Everything Else Is Gone?

Alcyone: The Last City is not just a game; it's a journey through survival, power, and consequential decision-making. This expansive interactive novel lets your choices shape the narrative, influencing the paths you explore and the endings you achieve.

Set in the last bastion of civilization known simply as the City, Alcyone: The Last City unfolds in a universe where the catastrophic event called the Nihility obliterated everything else at the speed of light. The City, once known as Alcyone, stands as the sole survivor, protected by walls from the encroaching void. Under the governance of the Six Ruling Houses, life continues, though in ways far removed from our current understanding. Here, death isn't necessarily the end, adding a layer of intrigue and mystery to your experience.

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 character with a fresh start but equipped with downloaded memories. Your journey involves navigating the complex web of political intrigue, betrayal, and survival. You have the freedom to align with the existing system, dismantle it, or manipulate it to serve your own ends.

With a staggering 250,000 words of branching narrative, your choices will open or close various paths, leading to one of seven distinct endings. The game also offers five romance options, including aromantic pathways, ensuring a personalized experience. Furthermore, the RPG-inspired character system allows you to craft a persona that genuinely reflects your choices and actions throughout the game.

If you're drawn to games like Fallen London or Killing Time at Lightspeed, or enjoy sci-fi narratives such as Revelation Space and Pandora's Star, Alcyone: The Last City is definitely worth your attention. In the meantime, keep an eye on its Kickstarter page or visit the official website for more updates.
