About the Game

Join Aliya and her robot sidekick, Six, to sail in search of lost sites, explore ancient ruins, and translate inscriptions that could unlock the secrets of the Nebula’s past and provide the key to its future.

Heaven’s Vault is an incredibly flexible narrative experience with a complex linguistic puzzle at its core. Every decision you make — and every translation you guess — feeds back into the story to weave a tale that changes and expands each time you replay it.
