What Do You Do When Everything Else Is Gone?

Alcyone: The Last City is a gripping visual novel that delves into themes of survival, power, and the weight of consequential choices. Set in the last remaining city in the universe, the narrative unfolds in Alcyone, a place that survived the catastrophic event known as the Nihility, which obliterated everything else at the speed of light. For centuries, the City has been governed by the Six Ruling Houses, maintaining a semblance of order in a world where death is not always final.
