What’s the Story?

Dive into a gripping narrative set in a dystopian future where The City stands as the final bastion after the collapse of the universe. In Alcyone: The Last City, your choices are the architects of your journey, with each decision bearing weighty consequences. There are no do-overs; only the reality of living with the outcomes of your actions.

You take on the role of a 'rebirth,' a character resurrected in a cloned body, retaining their memories. Choose your path: will you be part of the ruling elite, or struggle as a commoner fighting to survive?

The City is a microcosm of tension and disparity, ruled by six powerful Houses that enforce a rigid class system. While the elite revel in luxury, the underprivileged battle for survival, making The City a powder keg ready to ignite.
