Alcyone: The Last City has finally arrived on Android, Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamOS, and iOS. This eagerly awaited game, developed and published by Joshua Meadows, originated from a successful Kickstarter campaign launched in May 2017. After years of dedication and expanding the initial concept, Alcyone: The Last City is now available for players to explore.

What’s the Story?

Set in a dystopian future, Alcyone: The Last City unfolds in a universe that has crumbled, leaving only The City as the last bastion of civilization. Your choices drive the narrative forward, with each decision carrying weighty consequences. There are no do-overs; every choice shapes your journey, forcing you to live with the outcomes.

You take on the role of a 'rebirth,' a character who has experienced death and been resurrected in a cloned body with restored memories. You can decide whether to align with the ruling elite or struggle as part of the underclass.

The City is a harsh environment, governed by six Ruling Houses that enforce a rigid class system. The wealthy enjoy luxury while the poor fight for survival, creating a volatile atmosphere ripe for upheaval.

The backstory reveals that catastrophic experiments with hyperspace and faster-than-light travel led to the universe's collapse. Now, all that remains is Alcyone: The Last City, teetering on the brink of extinction.
