Welcome to the Nebula: a strange network of moons linked by rivers in space, where ancient robots coexist with humans. Its ancient history has long been forgotten and only fragments remain, written in “Ancient”, a lost hieroglyphic language. The search for a missing roboticist sets archaeologist Aliya Elasra and her robot sidekick Six on a trail of discoveries that will lead to the very edge of her world - and the ancient secret of Heaven's Vault. Discover lost sites in an open world, freely explore ancient ruins, decipher an entire hieroglyphic language and dive into a branching story, where every decision matters.

Gameplay

Heaven's Vault is not your usual linear adventure game. Progress through the game in any order you choose - the fully adaptive narrative remembers every choice you make, every discovery and every action you take, influencing what happens next. Meet a diverse cast of characters who remember everything you say, and whose attitude towards you will change with how you act. Who will you trust? What will you find? What will you risk? You will have to decide for yourself!

Moreover, an entire ancient hieroglyphic language with around 3,000 words was created specifically for the game and awaits to be deciphered! A puzzle mechanic with a unique twist: solutions are narratively significant and further the story - but the wrong translation might send you down the wrong track!
