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. Shielded and walled away from …

  • story

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The story is praised for its intriguing premise, engaging writing, and well-crafted interactive elements, though some find the ending lacks creativity. Overall, it captivates players with elegant prose and compelling narrative choices.

    • “The basic premise of the story is fascinating, and the writing is so good that I barely even notice that I'm reading text - the writing flows elegantly where it should, and brings you up short with crises in the best way.”
    • “Luckily, this game is not about pictures but rather about the story, and that was very well written.”
    • “I'm a backer of the game's crowdfunding and was initially excited to play this, liking the beginning of the story.”

  • graphics

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, -20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The graphics feature hand-painted, high-resolution digital artwork that aims to elevate the interactive fiction experience, though some users feel the new art is inferior to earlier, more painterly hand-drawn styles. There is debate over whether the art is AI-generated, but the developer insists it is not. Overall, the visuals provide atmosphere but may not meet all fans' expectations compared to previous versions.

    • “Think of most interactive fiction you expect to play, but add really decent artwork, generative AI or not.”
    • “The hand-painted artwork and atmospheric soundtrack elevate the experience.”
    • “The game literally advertises gorgeous high-resolution, hand-drawn digital artwork.”
    • “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 on more than one occasion.”
    • “However, here we have a developer doubling down on how it's not AI-generated in Kickstarter comments, and the game literally advertises "gorgeous high-resolution, hand-drawn digital artwork".”
    • “But it is perhaps worse; looking up older, beta screenshots of the game reveals that it featured hand-drawn art in a different, painterly art style but with similar overall compositions to the release art.”

  • music

    The music, along with the hand-painted artwork and atmospheric soundtrack, effectively enhances the game's immersive experience, complementing its rich narrative and exploration.

    • “The hand-painted artwork and atmospheric soundtrack elevate the experience.”
    • “Whatever you decide, you'll have plenty of exploring to do: Alcyone has a good-sized novel's worth of text in a branching narrative, livened up with a relatively rules-lite stats system, images and music, and map navigation.”
