Alcyone: The Last City is an upcoming sci-fi visual novel from Australian indie developer Joshua Meadows, who recently revealed its launch date: April 2, 2025, at 6 AM PST.
Initially crowdfunded via Kickstarter in 2017, this long-awaited game will release as a single cross-platform purchase on Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS (via Steam), Android, and iOS.
What Remains When All Else Has Vanished?
Alcyone: The Last City blends survival, power dynamics, and meaningful choices in an expansive interactive novel. Your decisions reshape the journey—opening unique pathways and determining one of multiple endings.
The narrative unfolds in the universe's final surviving metropolis. Centuries after civilization collapsed during the cataclysmic Nihility event—which consumed existence at light speed—only the fortified City endured against the surrounding void.
Under the Six Ruling Houses' ironclad governance, citizens live peculiar half-lives where death isn't always final. Below, preview this distinctive visual novel firsthand.
Your Role in Alcyone: The Last City
Players assume the role of a Rebirth—a blank slate implanted with memories. Will you uphold the establishment, dismantle it, or manipulate it for personal gain? The game weaves political schemes, betrayals, and brutal survival into its core.
Featuring 250,000+ words of branching narratives, choices unlock seven fundamental endings. Five romance routes include aromantic options, while RPG-inspired customization ensures your character mirrors consequential decisions.
Fans of narrative-driven games like Fallen London or sci-fi epics like Revelation Space will find this particularly compelling. Until launch, explore its Kickstarter campaign or official site for details.
