"Alcyone: The Last City - Upcoming Sci-Fi Novel with Multiple Endings"

Alcyone: The Last City, an upcoming sci-fi visual novel crafted by Australian indie developer Joshua Meadows, is finally setting its sights on the future. With its highly anticipated release slated for April 2nd, 2025, at 6:00 AM PST, the game marks the culmination of years of dedicated development, originally kickstarted through a successful 2017 crowdfunding campaign.

This expansive visual novel will be available across multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux/SteamOS via Steam, as well as Android and iOS devices, ensuring accessibility for all players. As the final bastion of civilization in a desolate universe, Alcyone: The Last City invites you into a world where survival hinges on your choices.

In a universe scarred by the catastrophic event known as the Nihility—an apocalyptic force that consumed everything in its path—the only remaining settlement is Alcyone, now simply referred to as the City. Protected by towering walls, this sanctuary has endured for centuries under the rigid control of the Six Ruling Houses. However, life within the City is far from ordinary; death is not an absolute end, and secrets lurk beneath the surface.

What Do You Do When Everything Else Is Gone?

Alcyone: The Last City thrusts you into a gripping narrative where every decision shapes your journey. As a rebirth—a blank slate equipped with downloaded memories—you must navigate a complex web of political intrigue, betrayal, and survival. The choices you make determine the paths you tread and the endings you encounter, with over 250,000 words of branching dialogue leading to one of seven core outcomes.

Your journey offers flexibility: align with the system, dismantle it, or manipulate it to suit your goals. Five romantic pathways await, alongside aromantic options, ensuring diverse character interactions. Additionally, a robust RPG-inspired character system empowers you to craft a persona that mirrors your decisions.

For fans of titles like Fallen London or Killing Time at Lightspeed, or those drawn to sci-fi epics such as Revelation Space and Pandora’s Star, Alcyone: The Last City promises a thought-provoking experience. Until its release, explore more details on its Kickstarter page or official website.
