Heaven's Vault is a game very close to my heart--I'm also a big fan of history, took Latin in school and loved learning more about everything that happened through that time period. The game definitely has a mix between adventuring and translate-em-ups that I find really fun, and even still having not played it in years you could put some of the game's language in front of me and I think I could do a pretty decent job parsing out what it's supposed to say. The music that Laurence Chapman wrote for it is wonderful, a lot of cello and piano and just a very lush and calming (and even mysterious at times) soundscape. With how the game is structured you "sail" to various locations along rivers in space, and the music works really well with the vistas you see along the way. I honestly think that this piece perfectly encapsulates the energy of the game, and would *highly* recommend it to anyone who's at all interested in it. It's about 15 hours long roughly, so a very approachable game, but also one that thrives on replayability if you want to dig in to find all the secrets. Just to give a taste of how deep you can go, the devs themselves posted a list of ten questions to the community shortly after release to see how much people found out in their playthroughs. Question #7 was quite simply "whose feet?" and I kid you not trying to figure that one out was an incredibly satisfying little lore puzle for me.
The timing on this. I was just talking about this game with friends yesterday while we gently tried to shill Inkle Studios games in general at them haha. Inkle tends to do very narrative focused stuff. I don't have much more to add that komurmaldeb didn't already say. Lovely game with lovely music. I've played it a couple times and there's still some stuff I want to do in it on a future third replay. Between me and two friends we played a total of 6 times with my second play being that 6th time and I was getting stuff they hadn't seen. Lots of stuff and lore to find and story beats that can happen differently. (Abzu was from GiantSquid but has the Austin Wintory connection)
I don't know if this is the appropriate place to suggest a song, so forgive me if im overstepping I if may, I'd like to suggest "Don't" from p3 reload DLC Anyways, love your vids, been watching them for a while now
Overstepping? Interesting choice of words ...and kinda extreme. Not sure you know what it means or rather a context in which it should be used,but okay. I hope Jessie responds favoraubly to your request.
Oh heck yes. Heaven's Vault is easily on my top 50, if not top 20, and the music is incredible. So glad to see someone experiencing it!!
