we'll Revenue be waiting for us here in the center of the storm
why hello Adam Patrick Murray hello is quite an intro yeah you know I'm a voice
actor in my off hours we are here tonight to play heavens vault Wow which
is is this the new Assassins Creed heavens wolf no this is the new game
from the inkle team where did all the people that made 80 days and also
sorcery I don't know if you played either though no sorcery I do not know
80 days yeah so 80 days is that the guy from what is that 90's movie which one
with the 25 yeah cuz that Joni fight is not Johnny Five his name is six though
so maybe it's an homage so yeah this is the new game from the eighty Days and
sorcery team inkle they are known for branching storyline stuff I'm going to
go ahead actually I was as Adam knows burning through this earlier because we
were there are no clouds great but I turned the text speed up to maximum to
burn through it so I'm going to turn that back down boom and now we are in it
so yeah this is a adventure game the way they pitched it is it's a space
archaeology game and so we are about 40 minutes into the game as the burning
through the game path goes okay we have come across a moon that's not charted
and we are trying to figure out where our colleague has gone and a couple of
clues we picked up indicates that he came here to this moon and this oh wow
there's a house on the moon oh I should mention I'm like I'm much further into
this game than where we are right now spoilers
yeah you find this this house here and the majority of the game is just walking
around and translating things so that's that's the hook here is that they have
created a I got symbol based language that you spend a lot of your time
translating as like a as an archaeologist basically okay so you go
to a place you translate and then you move on pretty much but I mean there's
story stuff happening like we are trying to track down basically this old Empire
so we can actually there's like a timeline in here and we can scroll out
and scroll out and scroll out and this timeline goes and I have not been
playing on a mouse and keyboard at home so this is a I think this well no that
is not what I wanted anyways there's like this spans like thousands of years
and so we are trying to figure out what happened this old Empire there are
remnants of it we're getting both so your your name yes we're now this is six
hundred years ago the fall was three hundred fifty years ago why is that
yellow and some of them are red I mean you figured something out over here I
think it was just when I'm now so oh okay
we also have the inscriptions page which is what I was talking about we are
translating stuff here and so we can pop this open so this we found a thing scrap
of a flag yeah stained a scrap of a flag with some words on it and we are trying
to figure out what those words mean I've already plugged in a translation for
this one so we'll just go ahead and leave it but then we will stumble upon
some other ones here in a bit so I'm you know okay I'm confused
why why is there only some voice acting it's just mostly I think it's too much
writing for them to voice out it's like a small indie team so yeah and that's
that's the thing as they are known for like branching stories so there's a lot
of stuff that you will do that will lead to so the way that I when I talk to the
ankle team a couple years ago their philosophy is like instead of
telltale style which is you know telltale is like a lot of a handful of
very big choices right and oh yeah which sometimes matter sometimes don't yeah
most of the time don't this one is a lot of small choices that you're making they
then kind of add up to big choices over time and so there's a lot of divergence
so yeah we've walked into this bedroom oh there's some symbols on the wall and
what is telling us is like these are words that are related to the symbols
here so if I can take a stab at it here the the little curly thing uh-huh
the I see these other curly things yeah let's start is this yeah so no I don't
know yeah so I've been sort of I can't I I don't remember what these are but you
kind of it's more of like an implied relationship a lot of the time so like
it may seem like an actual Wow so like in this case like we're looking at like
there's elements of buried goddess and light here and obviously buried seems to
be the one that is like the most but we don't really know what to put it in so
we'll just put in some stuff do you know what I mean you kind of have to just
make an educated guess and so oh so it's a little more abstract than I'm thinking
I'm thinking yeah it's more of like a like let's say I write however I do love
it sure it's yeah so yeah I fear death like I fear death is a sentence that
somebody would write on a wall when they're it's sick right or yeah sure
so we could like put that in will it tell you if you're gonna hide and so
eventually so see at the bottom now we have things are related to what we just
translated it as so we'll just say uh the writer was dying and then she'll
draw some some inferences about what we translated but if we translate that as
something else she would have also come up with a reason why it might be that
wait so we could just do it completely wrong and just keep going on yeah so
it'll eventually it'll tell you certain words if they keep coming up over and
over so like I have a couple of like goddess for instance yeah already
in this you know 40 minutes or whatever that I played uh-huh I've encountered
the word goddess like six or seven times and so that is locked in and she'll
eventually say like hey this is clearly what this means huh
but in them for the most part yeah you're just kind of are guessing they're
words that I've translated they've never come up again and it'll just kind of
hope like yeah that's right and what's the I mean what's the end
state is it judging you based off how good you did or are you just trying to
get through oh no there's you're trying to get through the story the that stuff
is mostly like flavor and then it'll also tell you about the world and tell
you about space so we have like a map of the nebula that we're in and it'll
occasionally tell us where a here I can open that up it'll tell us where certain
locations are so over here for instance we have this unknown moon which we know
that the somebody traveled to one point but we don't know where in this system
it is right now okay and as we find more relics it sort of narrows down so that's
how we ended up at this actually we had found three relics that had indicated
there was something in this part of space that used to be blank which is why
there's that he's like very light colored map nodes here and so yeah we
can come over there's a a chest here locked beautifully made and he will
estimated to be Hollow mistress he tries to open it up he can't and so in my game
I sent him back to the spaceship to get a crowbar and he's like not it there's a
lot of questionable allegiances going on right now this guy's not like a friend
of mine or anything he was like a sign to me by the people that sent me out
here and so when I sent him back to the ship in my game he like reports in and
he's like hey we found this this place but then I realized after I'd played
there or after I'd done that that it was this poker here that I'm pretty sure you
could also use to open up the the chest and so then that doesn't like
he doesn't have the chance to go back and to go back and report so it's stuff
like that that seems pretty small but has like a maybe we can't actually open
it with this oh okay all right so yeah it's stuff like that that seems
like a really small choice right like hey I sent this guy back to get this
poker and it like completely changes the way that the story were like though the
information that other characters have about you it seems like a lot of
branching paths oh it's like overwhelming like I don't I don't know
if you ever I know you know sorcery but I don't know if you ever played sorcery
but man the amount of stuff that changes based on like even the simplest things
like just one interaction well can be really overwhelming and in this case
it's sort of even more so because you can't roll back as far as I can tell in
sorcery and in 80 days if I remember correctly you can just like retcon a
choice okay like I actually I didn't mean to do that this one I think I have
just you just have to live with it which has been really I had one moment
that I don't want to spoil but basically I went to a moon something happened and
it like locked me out of an entire area on that moon and then I just had to
leave and I was like heartbroken oh no and in retrospect the game warned
me that that was about to happen but I was just like wow whatever I'm just
exploring and oh really hurt so yeah in this one you can see we have
like a huge of the long sense you know we have a lot and we have like we don't
know any of it does it always need to make sense always like a sentence that
you yeah from what I can tell it usually translates to like they give you enough
clues that it ends up translating to something that makes sense but like even
so there's a lot of different things that this could be so you can also just
like not that way but somehow you can just leave it
maybe we I don't know again I've been playing on a controller at home
I think the controller is probably the better way to play it the mouse and
keyboard controls from what I've seen are a little finicky interesting but we
could like just like this as equally Eagles of light my up again like just
nonsense as you'll say it out loud was a flight my up again she's just like well
yep but yeah I've spent like so much time you can see there's inscriptions
the reason I wanted to get to this place is because we're this is like the first
big archaeological dig in this game okay and you can see there's just like
inscriptions everywhere like there's one up there I think if we go in here
there's like a map that leads you to another location so yeah we can get into
this weird storeroom yeah and there's a oh yeah it's a painting no so you find a
painting and then she sort of it ends up being the map of the nebula and it
indicates another moon so we'll get a I get another location marked on there and
I think it might actually be the no yeah it might be the one that I was already
oh no it's a different one so yeah now you can see we have this site hmm also
this unknown one so yeah it is a a long and complicated game how long how long
you think and whoa I don't know I haven't I'm already like I'm four or
five hours in I feel like I've got a ways to go
interest but yeah I'm been super impressed by it there's stuff around the
edges that I think is rough anything that's not the transcription or
translation stuff I feel like is yes see so we got one word right oh because you
found because we found another one they had yeah we had another another
thing here that included that word so she was able to figure it out so we can
we found a map so find me home here seems like a decent translation find me
and this is definitely it's drawn by somebody who died here so yeah there's a
there's a lot to puzzle over and I'm finding the translation stuff really
interesting the stuff outside of that I find less so there's like a weird you
like fly your ship through the nebula like you have direct input yeah your
direct input and that part I think is less good
yeah they've improved it since even like when we started the review period but
it's still a little bit awkward at times interesting it's like clearly not their
Forte they're like action part of this yeah and you're just kind of like flying
like there's no there's no combat or anything like that you're just flying
around but it does because there are so many paths like the reason they do it is
because they like have hidden stuff off of some of these paths so you'll be fine
you could find something yeah you'll be flying through and just find like a
shipwreck or something with optional translations to do okay and so there's a
reason for it it's just you know it's okay alright and yeah we can stop right
here we've got this grave marker and so yeah she had said somebody probably died
here and then we find a grave one of the interesting things that comes from this
grave is that everybody in the current time in this world believes in something
called the loop which is like a reincarnation thing
but that involves being cremated and in this case this person was buried which
indicates that they are like a villain and should not resurrect who and so she
has some stuff to say about that but huh yeah that's heavens vault for the most
part it's a I would say hard game to demo because it's a very slow-paced very
like pour a glass of something and sit there all night and translate things
very hard to translate things on the fly on a stream like this but yeah it I
think is a a pretty cool game interesting I know you're gonna ask how
much it is you know it's it's probably somewhere between
five dollars and fifty dollars yeah it seems like well dollars thirty dollars
well yeah how much is zero another one I'm not sure I feel like they were 10
ish maybe and I can't even tell you the price because it's not on steam yet no
so I'm gonna guess like just 20 or 30 that seems correct but worth yours
yeah sure that seems like a a real terrible translate yeah so I think maybe
not your sort of thing I mean you know I'd like a good story based game but
yeah I'm not good I'm not a scholar or a linguist yeah I'm not a scholar yeah
so yeah that's heavens vault yeah we will have a full review by the time you
see this on a 10-0 thing yeah it's a a very cool game I am very
impressed by it I don't think it's as accessible as like 80 days which is a
very like play on the bus sort of game but yeah I'm really diggin it
so cool anyways thanks Adam for checking this out with me thank you thank you
guys for watching bye back
