What Do You Play As in Alcyone: The Last City, the Visual Novel?
In *Alcyone: The Last City*, you embody a 'rebirth'—an individual with a clean slate and the ability to harness downloaded memories. Your journey through the game allows you to align with, challenge, or manipulate the existing power structures. Navigate through a web of political intrigue, betrayal, and survival, where your choices sculpt the narrative. With a staggering 250,000 words of branching storylines, your decisions can unlock one of seven distinct endings. The game also offers five romance options, including paths for those identifying as aromantic, and a robust RPG-inspired character system that molds your persona based on your choices.
If you're drawn to narrative-rich games like *Fallen London* or *Killing Time at Lightspeed*, or if you're a fan of sci-fi epics like *Revelation Space* and *Pandora’s Star*, *Alcyone: The Last City* is poised to captivate you.
