Alcyone: The Last City has now launched across multiple platforms, including Android, Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS, and iOS. This ambitious project, developed and published by Joshua Meadows, began as a Kickstarter campaign in May 2017. After years of dedicated development and expansion, players can finally dive into this richly crafted universe.

What’s the Story?

Immerse yourself in a dark, dystopian future where The City is humanity's final refuge after the collapse of the universe. In Alcyone: The Last City, your choices are pivotal, shaping a narrative where every decision carries weight and consequences. There's no room for do-overs; you must live with the outcomes of your actions.

You take on the role of a 'rebirth,' a character who has experienced death and been revived in a cloned body with restored memories. You have the freedom to choose your background, whether from the ruling elite or among the struggling masses.

The City is a harsh environment, ruled by six powerful Houses that enforce a rigid class system. The elite enjoy luxury while the underprivileged fight for survival, creating a volatile atmosphere ripe for upheaval.

The backdrop of this world is a result of catastrophic experiments with hyperspace and faster-than-light travel, which led to the downfall of civilization. Now, Alcyone: The Last City stands as the last bastion of humanity, teetering on the brink of collapse.

What Does Alcyone: The Last City Look Like?
