Heaven's Vault is a 3D, open world, point & click narrative adventure. It's a game with an emphasis on player choice and player freedom - but in a non-systemic game where all the content is pre-written, how does Heaven's Vault allow the player to choose their own directions while still creating an engaging narrative. How does Heaven's Vault tell a great story with freedom?

"An archaeologist uncovers a lost history in an ancient space Nebula. Award-winning narrative adventure game with hieroglyphic language puzzles, from the creators of 80 DAYS." - Steam description for Heaven's Vault
