"Alcyone: The Last City - Dystopian Sci-Fi Visual Novel Released"
Alcyone: The Last City has made its much-anticipated debut across Android, Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS, and iOS platforms. This game, developed and published by Joshua Meadows, began as a Kickstarter campaign in May 2017 and has now blossomed into a fully realized experience after years of dedication and expansion.
What’s the Story?
Immerse yourself in a grim, dystopian future where Alcyone: The Last City stands as the final bastion of humanity. Your decisions drive the narrative, with each choice carrying weighty consequences and no option to undo your actions. You embody a 'rebirth,' a character resurrected in a cloned body with their past memories intact. Choose to be part of the ruling elite or struggle as a commoner.
The City is a harsh environment, governed by six Ruling Houses that enforce a stringent class system. The affluent revel in luxury while the underprivileged battle for survival. This volatile setting teeters on the brink of chaos, fueled by past experiments in hyperspace and faster-than-light travel that catastrophically failed, leaving Alcyone as the last remnant of human civilization, barely clinging to existence.
What Does Alcyone: The Last City Look Like?
Experience the game's stunning visuals, characterized by exquisite hand-drawn digital art that captures the essence of its gritty, fractured world. The narrative dynamically evolves based on your choices, boasting nearly 250,000 words of engaging storytelling. Dive into the atmosphere with the trailer below:
One of the game's standout features is its commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. It offers high-contrast, color-blindness-aware palettes, clearly labeled art elements, dyslexic-friendly fonts, and full compatibility with screen reader systems like VoiceOver. With seven core endings and five romance options, including aromantic pathways, the game ensures diverse narrative outcomes. Moreover, it's cross-platform, allowing you to enjoy it on multiple devices with a single purchase. For more details, visit the official website.
