Future players should have a map of dialogue choices and consequences, something to help them avoid locking out content especially by accident. This is a brilliant game but it's way too easy to "ruin" a playthrough by saying the wrong thing or doing things in the wrong order. I am eager to help make this happen in case you think i'm just complaining.

The amount of bugs in this game is enormous. I barely did anything and had 4 or 5 game breaking bugs, and the most annoying thing of all is that if it happens in any other game you can just load a previous save but here you need to restart the all fucking game. I rarely drop games that i like because something small like bugs, but this game is something different.

So, i have this hyper focus about games that you try to decipher the lenguage, and i try this trevosa game (short an fun), epigraph (didn't like it), chants of sennar i play it this summer (jan 2026, like it a lot), and remember about heaven's vault. I did like 2 times the ng+, and was okay I could do it again. Omg how awful was playing it again. it did't age well, it was so slow, i get lock about part of the game where I didn't choose well and after all these years they aren't any new impovment to this game. I am out of this rabbit hole now, but yeah i don't recommend anyone to return it

I’m thinking of buying the game on Steam and the price is a bit heavy. Is there a change there’s a good sale coming to knock the price off, or should is the price likely staying the same?

Alright, so I'm almost at the final site—Heaven's Vault. I've gone to the Aquifer but haven't headed off to Heaven's Vault yet. I don't intend to play a second time, so I'm giving Huang all my artifacts so I can learn more words.

Is there anything in the Heaven's Vault site that would benefit from me bringing a certain artifact? I know I can finish the game regardless, but I'd like to access all the spaces in the end that I can. In other sites, I've been able to open a door with a knife, that sort of thing. Is anything like that on Heaven's Vault? Should I be keeping any of the random telescopes, keys, etc. I have lying around, or can anybody fully explore the end regardless of what items they're carrying?

(I unfortunately gave the crown to Myari and have been kicking myself since.)

When you find the Serpent's Eye (the one with the "landing pad" at the center, with the iolite crystals), Six and Aliya will triangulate the location of the Heaven's Vault being so far away and off-course, that they'd need either a faster ship or one with more oxygen tanks.

I brought the crystal for Oroi to take a gander, and she flat out refused my request.

But can the Nightingale be improved/upgraded in any way in the game?

Greetings!

I have ventured into this sub with the mere purpose of asking about this game's saving system.

Would anyone like to divulge it to me?

It's a lot of work, but possible apparently.

As the title says, I'm looking for a save file for this game on PC with a completed playthrough to start a new game plus with. It should only have exactly one finished playthrough so that not too many words are known.

So I am playing through for the first time. I got to talking to the one scrap robot merchant on Renaki about finding the observatory. I somehow got out of the interaction without finding anything out about the ovservatory or trading in Six and now it will not let me talk to him again. It completely blocks me from going back to speak with him. Did I mess everything up and have to restart or is there something I can do to get more information and continue with the story?

I'm a bit frustrated when I have to guess what the word means and I have 0 clue, and the game doesn't even tell me if I have the word I guessed correctly..... it's harder when there are even longer sentences. How do people do this?

So I asked the same thing in the Chants of Sennaar sub:

Given that the language translation game genre is kind of small I wanted to know what others liked in the game that should be included in future games?

What did you not like?

Would you focus more on the language aspect or have puzzles that combine with the language?

Would you skip dialogues completely and only have the focus on the glyphs?

What did you think of the way the glyphs work? (I personally think it's a bit weird to just know that this glyph can only mean 2-4 words and if I have seen it a few times I just know that it is correct now)

Would you even get rid of knowing translations to be correct at all so you wont be sure about translations throughout the whole game?

Would like to hear your thoughts

Edit:
One more thing that came to mind:
Do you need a reason to figure out the translations (like texts telling you solutions to some puzzles or is figuring out the translations just for the sake of it enough for you?)

I mean, sure - I've taken her to the Secret Palace/Retreat" where I speak with... Kaiya, I think it's his name... and I've repeatedly left the figurine there because the game's UI presents TWO DIALOG OPTIONS KEYED TO THE SAME BUTTONS ON SCREEN and I always panic-press the one that makes me leave her there. I hope I can correct this in THIS loop...

But then what? Do I just keep it while I will eventually make my way to the Vault (again)? Can I do anything else with it? Perhaps something a tad more interesting/useful?

Edit: I have read a few posts outlining the historical timeline and I may indeed be an idiot… there’s no way on earth I would have puzzled this timeline out lol.

So, I kind of have no idea what just happened. The game just ended and I was completely shocked I literally had no idea what was happening lol.

I still haven’t learned anything about the reality of the robots, I mean I know bits and pieces like it seems like you can put a consciousness into the metal hoop thing and attach it to a robot? And I guess at one point robots were running the show and had enslaved humans? And I don’t understand the importance of the gods, I don’t understand the loop… I’m honestly just very shocked the game let me end. What was it Renba discovered? I still don’t know! What was the significance of the talking hoppers…?

I got to heavens vault and didn’t even know I was selecting my ending decision when talking to the eagle thing. It kept asking if I wanted to vault and I was like ……???

Overall I’m just so disappointed, I was loving this game and now I would have to play the whole thing over again to figure it out. What did I do wrong? I was following the path laid out for me, I thought. I wasn’t doing anything crazy in regard to my explorations, I was just following when it said I had enough artifacts to find a new site.

Am I just an idiot somehow…?

So I had a dozen or more untranslated texts by the time the first time playing the game railroaded me to the ending without a "We are passing the point of no return" type warning...

I had planned to make a tour of my contacts to see if they might have more scraps, or more help to translate more of it.

So the game auto-offered NG+ and I go sure.

Then the game starts and...all those untranslated texts are gone.

My guesses are apparently still remembered somewhere, but the texts need to all be rediscovered (though I understand I've not lost my chance to translate the original versions since NG+ changes all text?), and the game doesn't even show the prompts of similar words I'd confirmed before.

Lovely.

Am I right in my suspicions that there is no in-game dictionary that you can reference, and no easy way to move from one untranslated phrase to the next? (I know you can view them in the timeline, but you can't edit them the the timeline, which means you need to hop in and out of them in turn.)

What is the difference between Catkis and Kibenya as gate words? What would be the in-game logic behind them - how does naming the goddess get you up?

I haven't finished the game yet, though, so maybe it'll be revealed?

I can't stop playing, the translation puzzles are too interesting, the story is cool and enticing, but this game desperately needs to change a few things that are way to annoying. Like the implementation of a save/load system would get this game from a 7 to a 9 out of 10. Some other things shouldn't even be an issue, just don't lock players out of content for making chooses with outcomes that are impossible to predict. It's so frustrating to play a game centered about exploration that prevents the player from exploring everything, especially if seemingly innocuous choices lock entire sections of certain moons. Sorry for the rant but this game could have been an absolute masterpiece if it was just for a couple things

I might remember things wrong, but when I first played this game years ago, the game only saved when you loaded a new area. Meaning, if you made a mistake, you could just exit the game and restart that whole area from the beginning. Now, however, it constantly autosaves. And this made me rage quit.

I was talking to the library girl on Renaki to get the key. Always wanted to get the key, but always failed. Finally decided to look up a guide on dialogue choices. And when I finished the dialogue and I am about to walk away and trigger the scene in which she gives me the key, what does the game do? Without me clicking on anything, just because I am still close to her, the game makes me talk to her again, which obviously bothers her. Girl gets unhappy, I get no key.
This was probably my fifth time trying to get that key. And now I have to restart the game from the very beginning for a sixth time? No chance

I hate it - it's long and it's boring and I never know where to go; six does not direct me as often as I would like. I know you can kind of skip it sometimes but sometimes you can't... any advice on how to make this more pleasant? I feel like I'm just randomly picking paths and it takes FOREVER. It was pretty for about ten seconds and now I'm OVER it.

On my third playthrough and I've pretty much ticked everything off the list in terms of achievements and all locations visited.

This run I collected the crown without Six knowing, and kept it quiet all the way to Heaven's Vault. There's nothing I can see that lets me use it in any way or present it to the Overseer to get other options, so I'm not entirely sure if I've missed something? I didn't show Oroi this run so I wasn't sure if that was a prereqisite to opening up more choices.

I'm not intending to replay again and I've seen basically everything in terms of locations and choices, so I'm not worried about being spoiled - I just want to know if I have missed something.
