What Do You Do When Everything Else Is Gone?

Dive into the heart of *Alcyone: The Last City*, a sprawling visual novel that explores themes of survival, power, and the profound impact of your choices. In this game, every decision you make sculpts the narrative, steering you towards different paths and ultimately, one of many possible endings.

Set against the backdrop of the last city in the universe, the story unfolds in Alcyone, now simply known as the City. This sole survivor stands resilient after the catastrophic event known as the Nihility, which obliterated civilizations at the speed of light. Within the protective walls of Alcyone, life persists under the governance of the Six Ruling Houses, which uphold order and control. In this unique world, death isn't the final chapter, adding a fascinating layer to the narrative. Get a sneak peek of what awaits in *Alcyone: The Last City* with the trailer below.

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 intricate web of political intrigue, facing betrayal, and striving for survival. You have the power to align with the existing system, dismantle it, or manipulate it to suit your ends.

With a colossal narrative featuring over 250,000 words and branching storylines, your choices will unlock or block various paths, leading to one of seven core endings. The game also offers five romance options, including aromantic pathways, and a deep, RPG-inspired character system that lets you craft a persona that truly embodies your decisions.

If you're a fan of immersive narratives like *Fallen London* or *Killing Time at Lightspeed*, or if you revel in the expansive worlds of sci-fi literature such as *Revelation Space* and *Pandora’s Star*, *Alcyone: The Last City* is poised to captivate you. As you eagerly await its launch, be sure to explore its Kickstarter page or official website for more details.
