What Do You Do When Everything Else Is Gone?

The setting is the last bastion of humanity, known simply as the City, which survived the catastrophic Nihility that obliterated the rest of civilization at the speed of light. For centuries, the Six Ruling Houses have governed this final refuge, maintaining a semblance of order. Here, life, work, and even death unfold differently than in our world. In Alcyone, death is not always the end. Get a sneak peek into this intriguing world with the trailer below.
