What drew me to Heaven’s Vault was the promise of working on language puzzles, but what kept me playing was my curiosity. In the vein of games like Outer Wilds or Tunic, the protagonist in Heaven’s Vault is the world, and the main objective is to string together a coherent narrative from fragmented and limited information. You control Aliya, an archaeologist, through point-and-click interactions in an open world. You can converse with other characters and the robot that follows you around. Mostly the robot, though. Examining artifacts often yields fragments of writing, transitioning the game to a close-up view of the glyphs, where you can play a minigame of assigning translations. Travel between locations happens via driving minigame, where you sail your spaceship through the cosmos. The sailing felt fiddly at first, but it made sense after sticking with it. Compared to Chants of Sennaar, the conlang puzzle in this game goes for depth rather than breadth. Unlike Sennaar, there aren’t that many giveaways for translations, and the confirmation is more sporadic. There’s not much going on linguistically, probably because it’s designed to be solvable without taking external notes. But there’s enough going on that it’s not trivial. And interacting with the world itself is sometimes a puzzle: like searching for places likely to have writing, or manipulating ancient machinery. It all contributes to the experience of solving a gripping mystery. It’s a good thing that the world is the main character of Heaven’s Vault, because the characters that get to have dialogue aren’t as well-written. Aliya’s actions are confusing and contradictory at times. Movement and travel is slow and repetitive, and I’ve found the slow walking speed to be insufferable multiple times. If you run into this, there do exist mods that’ll adjust the pacing to be less frustrating.
This is not a thrill a minute type game, but for those who like historical mysteries and who may have always wished to be a science fiction archaeologist a la Captain Picard in several TNG episodes, this is a delight. Gameplay can be a little tedious - flying the Nightingale is really boring after the first few trips, but you can circumvent that some of the time by letting Six drive to familiar locales. And I do wish there had been voice acting for the *mountain* of dialogue, but that's a minor quibble. Overall, it's a wonderful mystery and the graphics are gorgeous. Not entirely stress free, but any stress comes mostly from interpersonal relationships and politics, not from any real danger to the characters. I can see why it wouldn't appeal to a lot of gamers, but I would love more like this.
