The highly anticipated game, *Alcyone: The Last City*, has finally launched across multiple platforms including Android, Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS, and iOS. Developed and published by Joshua Meadows, this project originated from a successful Kickstarter campaign back in May 2017. After years of development and refinement, players can now immerse themselves in this dystopian adventure.
What's the Story?
Set in a grim, dystopian future, *Alcyone: The Last City* depicts a world where The City is the sole remnant after the collapse of the universe. The narrative is heavily influenced by player choices, ensuring that each decision you make shapes your unique experience. There are no do-overs; every choice leads to consequences that you must live with, adding depth and realism to the gameplay.
In the game, you take on the role of a 'rebirth,' a character who has previously died and been revived in a cloned body with retained memories. You have the option to align with the ruling elite or struggle as part of the underclass.
The City is a harsh environment, controlled by six Ruling Houses that enforce a rigid class system. While the wealthy enjoy luxuries, the impoverished fight for survival. This volatile setting is on the brink of chaos.
The backdrop of the game is a world altered by catastrophic experiments with hyperspace and faster-than-light travel. These experiments led to the downfall of humanity, leaving only Alcyone: The Last City teetering on the edge of extinction.
What Does Alcyone: The Last City Look Like?
