A bounty of unrealized potential. The high point is that you can really botch conversations with characters and close off possibilities; it's no boot-licking completionist fantasy. But Heaven's Vault should be a 2D point-and-click title – its CG spaces feel unjustified, and your avatar is constantly shifted into auto-travel without warning. The main feature – learning ancient glyphs – is neutered by the hand-holding, multiple-guess system. The game ends with a unsurprising twist that has been in vogue since the Battlestar Galactica remake. You know what would be a daring story? One with ancient non-Lovecraftian gods that turn out to be real.
