What Do You Do When Everything Else Is Gone?

Alcyone: The Last City is not just another game; it's a deep dive into survival, power, and the weight of choices. This visual novel presents a sprawling narrative where your decisions weave the fabric of the story, steering you through various paths and culminating in one of multiple endings.

Set against the backdrop of the last bastion of humanity, the City, formerly known as Alcyone, the story unfolds after the catastrophic event known as the Nihility obliterated the rest of the universe. The City, shielded from the void, has been governed by the Six Ruling Houses for centuries, maintaining a semblance of order. Here, life persists in a unique way where death is not always final.

The game boasts over 250,000 words of a branching narrative, offering more than seven core endings. It includes five romance options, catering to various preferences, including aromantic pathways.
