Strictly Limited Games is delighted to announce that they will publish an exclusive limited edition release of the critically-acclaimed Heaven’s Vault for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 (PS4), in partnership with the award-winning developers at inkle. Praised for its narrative depth and gameplay around exploration and deciphering an ancient language, Heaven’s Vault is already a timeless classic. The boxed release now secures a permanent physical legacy for Heaven’s Vault and includes unique collectibles transcribed with never-before-seen Ancient text, well-aligned with the theme of archaeology in the game.

About Heaven’s Vault:
Welcome to the Nebula: a strange network of moons linked by rivers in space, where ancient robots coexist with humans. Its ancient history has long been forgotten and only fragments remain, written in a lost hieroglyphic language. Join archaeologist Aliya Elasra and her robot sidekick Six on a trail of discoveries that will lead to the very edge of the world and to the ancient secret of Heaven’s Vault.
Ancient, the hieroglyphic language at the center of Heaven’s Vault, is a full language created for the game that consists of around 3,000 words. A language that an active fan community is continually discovering, discussing, and even expanding beyond the scope of the game. But it’s not only the language that makes Heaven’s Vault special. Progress through the game in any order you choose; the game’s fully adaptive narrative remembers every choice you make, every discovery, and every action you take, influencing what happens next. Meet a diverse cast of characters who remember everything you say, and whose attitudes toward you will change based on how you act. Who will you trust? What will you find? What will you risk? You will have to decide for yourself!
Features:
- Find artifacts and translate their hieroglyphic inscriptions to piece together the history of the world.
- Make tough decisions and interact with a large cast of characters who remember everything you say.
- Sail Aliya’s ship, the Nightingale, through an open world of fast-flowing space rivers and lost moons.

Resident Evil 4 Remake
Resident Evil 4 will always have a special place in my heart. It wasn’t my first Resident Evil game, It wasn’t even my first with Leon. It was however the first I enjoyed enough to complete. So seeing this trailer made me quite happy. So please enjoy the first of what I hope is many trailers as we wait for this release. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Silt announcement trailer
This game has the vibe of Limbo underwater and that is really cool. While it kills a lot of cool art potential, the black and white is interesting underwater. I hope the game can stand out but looks interesting enough. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Mario Strikers Battle League Overview
What the hell hasn’t Mario done at this point? He’s been a Dr, played golf, raced gocarts, been in a universe of paper, and traveled to other worlds so why not this weird soccer-type game? Why this exists I don’t know but I hope the fans have a blast. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Sword and Fairy: Together Forever trailer
I have no clue this series existed but I love the animation and artwork. While these kinds of games seem more of Savior’s thing, I can appreciate the hard anime influence. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Gotham Knights gameplay trailer
Ok, I’m a hard fan for the Arkham series but everything I’ve seen for Gotham Knights hasn’t really impressed me. The gameplay honestly reminded me of Marvel’s Avengers (game) more than something akin to Arkham which kind of worries me a bit. The movement styles came off kooky to me than cool. When the last gen versions were cancelled, I can’t say I’m bummed, weary that it’s from the same makers of Batman: Arkham Origins . I’m hoping for the best but what does it mean? May the gaming gods bring you glory.
