Its an intriguing story revealed over the course of your investigation. The best bit though is the linguistic parts of the game. YOu get to decipher an entire alien language, based initially on vague hints from the game and your own intuition you can slowly build up an understanding of how the language works. As your understanding grows so too do the complexities of the words you are trying to understand. From the two or three symbols words at the start to 15 character words and perhaps more. I'm already excited to restart with a New GAme + where I get to keep my dictionary of learned words and the game starts with more complicated phrases from the very start.If you want a great blend of puzzle and narrative this is a great game to pick up.. Heaven's Vault is an interesting and fairly unique game. It's all about exploring ancient ruins as an archeologist, looking for ancient artefacts and writing, and piecing together a dead language through the game as you try to make sense of the ancient history that permeates the science fantasy setting.The visuals are great, but the game is a bit of a slow burner. Often you will wish for a sprint button or a way to speed up the dialogue of "I think I got this word right \/ wrong", etc. It's also a pity you are somewhat on rails - you get to explore most locations only once, and if you don't find all the bits on that one go, you're out of luck until New Game Plus.If you have some 15 odd hours to spare though, it's an enjoyable experience you don't get much of from other games.. It's very good.Decoding the ancient language is a delight. The characters are well written and engaging, and I get the impression that there's more variety in them than I saw in a single playthrough.It's also a very odd game.It's not exactly that the game breaks "the rules". It's more like the game doesn't recognise that there ARE rules. In a way, it feels like it belongs to an earlier age, when new genres were being forged. I don't think this is the product of accident or naivete. It reminds me of experimental games like Trinity (1986) and Blue Ice (1996), though it's a great deal more accessible than either.It's not completely perfect.I started playing before the first patch came out, and there were plenty of quirks and janks and gremlins along the way. I gladly forgave most of them, though. The design may be bold, occasionally disconcerting and elliptical... but the heart of the game is just good, straightforward storytelling. And it does that really well.. You know these 'archeology games' where the language puzzles are so obvious that they are just an insult to your intelligence.Heaven's Vault is completely different. In fact the first translation you see is given without any hints whatsoever what the characters might mean. You just have to guess. Like you would in real life. And then find more pieces that refer to the same words or symbols, and refine your guesses, or realize that you gone down a completely wrong route.As time progresses and your list of words grows you start to see patterns and after a while it becomes easier and easier to recognize unknown words. After about 300 words I would say I have a 99% accuracy rating now. This deduction is extremely satisfying, and once you can read a word made out of a dozen characters you feel like you accomplished something real.The story also is pretty well thought out. At the start it makes little sense, and even at the end of the first walkthrough you might feel there are bits that still don't quite add up. But as you play repeatedly you gain more information and eventually the whole world and history will come together and make perfect sense.Now this game might not be for everyone- The game is slow, very slow. There is a lot of slow walking and sailing. Personally I don't mind this as there is constant banter between the main character and her sidekick robot during those long walk but some people might find this frustrating.- You will not know the full story after the first walkthrough. Or the second, or the third even. As with real archeology, there will always be unanswered questions, guessed, false premises, etc. But that is part of the game and it will encourage you to play again, try different approaches, see if the findings across multiple timelines confirm each other or not, etc.. Playtime: About 10 to 15 hoursHeaven's Vault is one of the most captivating games I've ever played.Tremendous world building, great characters, and an engrossing narrative and overarching mystery. This is easily one of my favorite games of 2019. I just finished it and i'm already excited to play it again. If you're a fan of Inkle, adventure games, or unique sci-fi settings do not let this game pass you by!. As interesting as the worldbuilding is, this is the first game I've ever played where I've been impatient for cutscenes to end. It's not that the cutscenes are boring, but rather that the central translating mechanic is SO MUCH FUN. I'm obsessed, which makes it very easy to roleplay as Aliya, even when she's being a jerk - like her, I can't wait to get back into some ruins and get my hands on some more Ancient Language!I haven't quite gotten a handle on how the roleplaying works yet - if there's a way to tell which of the two reply options it gives you is going to be the rude one and which the nice, I haven't found it. And as much as I love the translations, the other central mechanic, of sailing on the astral rivers, isn't my favorite, so I'm excited to try the update that lets you fast travel to more locations! Searching for undiscovered sites is going to stay tedious, but that's mostly because I'm overeager for more ruins - I could wait until I find more clues to narrow the search area.Overall, the world is interesting and the main character has a lot of personality, which I respect even if I wish I could make her be a little nicer to our pet robot. Most importantly, I LOVE the translation mechanic, and I suspect that those of you who are language nerds and perfectionists will love it too.. I don't often write reviews, so when I do you better believe me a game is worth your time. Heaven's Vault is the most unique game I've ever had the pleasure of playing, and the core gameplay loop (Fly to a new place, find some artefacts, translate some artefacts, talk to people, repeat) remains entertaining even on my fourth playthrough.If you enjoy languages and figuring out how they work, then you're probably bound to enjoy this game as well. And even if you don't enjoy languages and figuring out how they work, you'll probably do after playing this game. The Fair Points Update: I was too nervous to read Heat Signature reviews for two weeks after launch. I was relieved to see the scores were great, and after 3.5 years of work, that was all I wanted to hear: I didn't want to know what their caveats were.Once I calmed down and read them, though, I was delighted: they were not only very positive, but they told entertaining stories and made intelligent points. And almost every critique I read I thought was a fair point. Hence this:The Fair Points Update. 5 new features and 3 new items, in direct response to review critique, designed to round the game out and make it more fun for more people.We also added a gun that fires acid money to melt the flesh from your enemies and leave only chemically bleached bone. No-one asked us for that, we just kind of did it, and now here we are.This post only explains the features themselves, read the blog version[www.pentadact.com] if you're interested in the design thinking behind it all.Fair Point:. The Verge preview Heaven's Vault: We took the latest demo of Heaven's Vault to GDC: here's what tech site The Verge had to say!https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/3/17192520/heavens-vault-game-language-translation-pc-ps4. Minor update: ruins and fast travel improvements : Minor update this time, all for space sailors.

PC World play the Heaven's Vault demo - four times: Over on PC World, they've taken the demo level of Heaven's Vault that we showed at PAX East and Rezzed and played through it - four times. "Inkle told me they’d seen four people run the demo and it played out four different ways. Having now run the demo four times myself, I believe them..."https://www.pcworld.com/article/3268992/gaming/heavens-vault-preview-inkle.html"What’s most amazing about Heaven’s Vault though is that every path feels valid... It’s—and I don’t say this lightly—like nothing I’ve ever played before... Safe to say Heaven’s Vault is one of my most anticipated games of 2018, and Inkle one of the most exciting studios working today.". Let Defunct Games take you through Heaven's Vault!: Awesome video review: 8 minutes but it gets to the heart of it straight away.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDTHH6BQ3QI. Minor patch: We've pushed a quick update to the game today: fixing a bug which was preventing the story-line that results in the Reunion achievement from triggering. Thanks to the players who helped us track that one down.Meanwhile, here's a review in UK magazine Wireframe[wireframe.raspberrypi.org]:"Look at Vault’s sheer scale; its whole timeline is filled with events both past and present, and wealth of language fragments so big you will want to keep building your vocabulary beyond a single playthrough into the New Game Plus mode. Aliyah and Six can talk about anything and everything, if you choose to, and with everything discovered, you build the picture of a living, breathing world – one you just want to see more of."Enjoy!
