About

After the fall of civilisation, the City is the only thing still standing.
Outpost Alcyone : the Nihility spread across the universe at close to the speed of light, unmaking & twisting everything it encountered. We had enough warning to protect ourselves as we saw the distant stars flicker out one by one. Alcyone's old name was forgotten and became simply the City.

Alcyone: The Last City is an interactive sci-fi novel in which the player's choices heavily impact the overall narrative, opening or closing pathways through the story, and greatly affecting the end of the game. From the outset, players will have to weigh difficult options, all of which impact the game and provide different insights into the various organisations, Houses, diverse characters, and deep lore of the City. Players are encouraged to live with their decisions, even if the consequences are dire — there is no true failure in the City, only experience.

At over a quarter of a million words in length, Alcyone: The Last City has an intricate narrative in which your decisions dramatically and meaningfully affect the story you experience. Explore over seven different endings, five mainline and two bonus romance storylines (including aromantic pathways), plus thousands of choices that make each and every playthrough a uniquely rewarding experience.

Will you be a force for destruction, or will your decisions aid the existing powers that be? Alcyone: The Last City offers a multitude of choices to forge your path inspired by a RPG character system where attributes such as Body, Vigour, Mind, and Charm affect your engagement with the story.
The game starts with your character waking in the Rebirthing Facility upon being brought to life. There, you will craft your persona by selecting attributes such as your gender identity, status, whether or not you had a significant other in your previous life, and even the manner in which you might have died — all of which contribute to a uniquely customised experience that has long-lasting effects on the story and how you can interact with it.

Alcyone: The Last City complements its complex narrative with a clean and aesthetically pleasing user interface, gorgeous high-resolution, hand-drawn digital artwork, and a full-length soundtrack to underscore the depth and emotion of each choice within your story.

Shielded and walled away from the decimation and destruction of the void outside, inhabitants have lived for centuries with the serenity provided by the City's protection. Governed under the benevolence of the Six Ruling Houses, humanity continues to demonstrate its tenacity in surviving and adapting to whatever fate befalls it. Normal life continues — after a fashion. We persist.
But the Six are lying to us.
And the Nihility is more than we've been told.
And there's a way out of the City.

Reviews
Just finished my first playthrough after checking out the demo. The twist at the end was really amazing, even if there's hints throughout the latter half of the game, even a few peppered in the first two or three chapters. I don't care if AI was used even if it colors how I view the entire thing, it's an amazing story even if I was able to finish the first attempt in little over three hours. Going to take a break and focus on other things since I did this not long after buying it but I hope to move through all the different ways the story can go. Think of most interactive fiction you expect to play, but add really decent artwork, generative AI or not. It really puts you into the situation, makes me feel like I was there. The premise is great, can't wait to see more.
Nah
Story look interesting but the ending is not creative
[h1]虚无都市开创新篇章,谨慎选择玩家做主——「Alcyone:The Last City」[/h1] [h1]前言[/h1] 《Alcyone:The Last City》是一款由Joshua Meadows工作室开发,并于2025年4月2日正式在Steam平台发售。作为一款科幻题材视觉小说类游戏,游戏目前包含了七个结局,可以说画一本科幻小说的钱读到了七本科幻小说,并且还是由自己选择的。 [h3][i]游戏目前只支持英文,别的语言一概没有!慎重购买[/i][/h3] [h1]RPG式的视觉小说[/h1] 由于游戏不支持中文,并且目前没找到补丁(可以打个AI翻译的试试),所以我在游玩的时候有些许专业名词也没看懂,但游戏的基础词汇并不难,非常适合正在考四六级的小伙伴们尝试一下,权当看了篇阅读理解~ 游戏的背景故事是发生在一个虚空城市,这座城市被六大家族分治垄断,主线剧情这里就不过多剧透了。游戏采用的是RPG的游戏方式推进,玩家需要用有限的道具达成目标,比如铲子等等,这些物品是以卡牌的形式出现的。 游戏的整个故事线都是发生在一个六角形的城市中,阴冷的色调充分的让人感受到未来科技感和发自内心的不安感,同时游戏中有很多外星人,也是一种别样的体验。 [h1]购买建议[/h1] 因为游戏目前[b]不支持中文[/b],尽管是一部好游戏但是也不太适合很多小伙伴,所以小伙伴们慎重考虑,同时游戏的定价颇贵,虽然说是有很多内容,但因为题材和无中文的原因,对于我们来说这款游戏并不值得这个价钱,完全可以等打折再看哦~ [quote]关注鉴赏组:[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45134494]浮生评测[/url] ←"浮生若梦,一鉴倾心,邀您共赏人间烟火" 加入Steam组:[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/LLFLLFF]浮生评测[/url]←“一起追寻'浮生若梦'般的游戏体验” 开始“浮生若梦”鉴赏组的奇幻之旅![/quote]
Top notch game with deep matrix stuff in it. You won't be disappointed.
Bottom line: An excellent experience. Unique concept, branching paths, compelling writing and unique presentation. Highly recommend if you like text-based games. As a bonus, the dev is responsive and worked on troubleshooting a very unusual bug that me and one other person had playing this game on the Steamdeck.
Its okay
Really great game so far! Yet to finish it, but it has been highly engaging and intruiging. Can't wait to play more and see what ending I get!
I'm not used to give negative review to a game, as well as a story, I've finished. But the story is actually quite boring and expected, and the price is rather high, and the choice player have is limited. Still, I'm glad it has achievement system. (而且全是GRE之类的什么词汇,但是因为故事比较老套大概能猜个大概,我不知道为什么如此掉书袋,快跑)
Still cannot believe that it actually came out after all those years. And it’s not just come out, it’s actually good. Given the seven different endings which do tell completely different stories, this is basically four interactive sci-fi novels for the price of one. Can recommend. Did not like the queerification of it that happened in the last years; good thing that’s about to go away again nowadays. Regarding the AI art debate: I liked the original art way better. I can see why the creator has chosen to redo the graphics after a decade, but I can also see that the new art is worse and does look generated in more than one occasion. Luckily, this game is not about pictures but rather about the story, and that was very well written.
