Get ready for *Alcyone: The Last City*, an upcoming sci-fi visual novel from Australian indie developer Joshua Meadows! Launching April 2nd, 2025, at 6 AM PST, this long-awaited title, initially funded via Kickstarter in 2017, is finally ready for its debut. Enjoy a single cross-platform purchase on Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS (via Steam), Android, and iOS.
Alcyone: The Last City plunges you into a world of survival, power, and impactful choices. This expansive interactive novel features a branching narrative where your decisions reshape the entire experience, influencing pathways and ultimately, your ending.
The story unfolds in Alcyone, the last city in a universe ravaged by the Nihility—a cataclysmic event that consumed everything at light speed. For centuries, life has persisted under the iron grip of the Six Ruling Houses, maintaining a fragile order. But in Alcyone, death isn't always the end…
You embody a rebirth, a new consciousness with downloaded memories. Will you uphold the existing system, dismantle it, or bend it to your will? Navigate political intrigue, betrayal, and the constant struggle for survival.
Boasting over 250,000 words of branching narrative, each decision carves a unique path, leading to one of seven core endings. Explore five romance options, including aromantic pathways, and develop a deep, RPG-inspired character shaped by your choices.
Fans of Fallen London, Killing Time at Lightspeed, Revelation Space, and Pandora’s Star will find much to love. Until launch, explore the Kickstarter page or official website for more information.
