The highly anticipated game, Alcyone: The Last City, has now launched across multiple platforms including Android, Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS, and iOS. Originally sparked by a Kickstarter campaign in May 2017, developer and publisher Joshua Meadows has brought this vision to life after years of dedicated development and expansion.

What’s the Story?

Immerse yourself in a bleak, dystopian future where The City stands as the final bastion after the universe's collapse. In Alcyone: The Last City, your choices profoundly influence the narrative, with no option to undo decisions. Every choice you make carries consequences, shaping your unique experience in this unforgiving world.

You take on the role of a 'rebirth,' a character who has died and been revived in a cloned body with restored memories. You can choose to be part of the ruling elite or struggle as a commoner. The City is a harsh environment, ruled by six Ruling Houses that enforce a rigid class system, where the wealthy thrive and the poor barely survive. Tensions run high, and the city teeters on the brink of chaos.

The backdrop to this dystopia is a history of catastrophic experiments with hyperspace and faster-than-light travel that led to humanity's downfall. Now, all that remains is Alcyone: The Last City, a fragile remnant of what once was.

Visually, Alcyone: The Last City boasts sharp, hand-drawn digital art that perfectly encapsulates the game's gritty and broken world.

One of the standout features of Alcyone: The Last City is its commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. The developers have incorporated high-contrast and 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. Additionally, Alcyone: The Last City is a cross-platform title, meaning you only need to make a single purchase to play across all supported devices.
