Heaven's Vault Gameplay | How Inkle Made The Greatest Archeology Game

Heaven’s Vault is the latest game from the creators of 80 Days, and it tells the story of Aliya Elasra, in what is the greatest game about archaeology we’ve ever seen. In this Heaven’s Vault gameplay we learn all about the game's non-linear timeline, the world you're exploring with Aliya’s robot buddy Six, and the kind of secrets you're trying to recover from the long-forgotten past. This video was recorded as part of the EGX Rezzed 2019's RPS Sessions, powered by XSplit (

Heaven’s Vault is a science fiction game like no other, where you explore the past through archaeology and by translating tales from the past. To progress, you'll need to interpret and translate glyphy written on the environment. Your translations - right or wrong - shape your perception of the world and the way the story develops. This isn’t a Heaven’s Vault review, but is instead a Heaven’s Vault preview where Matthew is able to chat to Jon Ingold, Inkle co-founder and the game's narrative director. Wondering why they the game doesn't use actual hieroglyphics? Jon has your answers. You’re able to uncover Heaven’s Vaults story in whichever way you want, exploring in whichever direction you want, and on your journey you'll chat to a cast of characters who all have varying opinions of you. The game will remember every decision you make. If you are interested in seeing a Heaven’s Vault review, check out the site around release time.
