Heaven's Vault Out Now On Nintendo

Widely acclaimed archeology themed narrative game Heaven's Vault is out now on the Nintendo Switch. The sprawling open-world game features a massive branching narrative, as well as an entire alien language to decipher. 

Following on from the titles PC and PlayStation 4 release Heaven's Vault won the IGF award for Excellence in Narrative, and was also recognised by BAFTA, the New Yorker, Mashable, Paste and Gameindustry.biz as one of 2019's best games. 

Game developer inkle have optimised this new version of Heaven's Vault for the Nintendo Switch and now includes support for both the Switch's touchscreen and Joy-Cons

In the Nebula, far-flung moons are linked by a network of rivers in the sky... but the rivers are drying up. Robots once moved freely among humans... until the robots were buried, along with their secrets.

An extinct civilization foretold the future... in a language no one remembers. Aliya Elasra is an archeologist. And she's after the truth.

Join Aliya and her robot sidekick, Six, to sail in search of lost sites, explore ancient ruins, and translate inscriptions that could unlock the secrets of the Nebula's past and provide the key to its future. Heaven's Vault is an incredibly flexible narrative experience with a complex linguistic puzzle at its core. Every decision you make -- and every translation you guess -- feeds back into the story to weave a tale that changes and expands each time you replay it.

Heaven's Gate is available now for PC, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

Crafting the Apocalypse with Kek-W

Rob takes a trip to Deadworld with 2000 AD writer Kek-W… ‘ The Fall of Deadworld: Redemption ’ made its return to the 2000 AD Prog this week. While the battle for Sector 13 and the wider city rumbles on, I spoke to curator of chaos, Kek-W about Deadworld past, and more importantly, its future. Looking back, what first attracted you to writing what’s essentially the Dark Judges origin  story? KW - Well, the first four DREAMS OF DEADWORLD stories that Dave and I did were well received,  so rather than just doing more of the same - stories that showcased the individual Dark Judges - I pitched the idea of telling the back-story of how the four of them destroyed an entire world. How did that happen, how might it work? I figured it was a landscape ripe with dramatic story-telling potential. 'Ripe' being the operative word! (laughs) I also thought it might be interesting to focus in on a ordinary family, to see and experience the collapse of civilization  from their point of view and

Comic Book Review - The Best of 2000 AD Vol. 3

Rob reviews The Best of 2000 AD Vol.3… The ‘Ultimate Mix-Tape’ of 2000 AD’s greatest hits is back for its third volume. Packed with an array of specially curated strips,  The Best of 2000 AD series does its very best in introducing you to the world of Tharg, and his Thrillverse. Much like its predecessors, this volume offers up an enticing mixture of strips and feature that draw across all corners of the wider 2000 AD mythos. While we do get a couple of standard trips to Mega-City 1 with Judge Dredd, series Editor Owen Johnson shows us the anthologies more “Tales of the Unexplained” side as things get a little bizarre.  Personally, this third volume has been my favourite out of the series so far. Not only does it feature a Judge Dredd written by Michael Carroll, we also have the debut of Ian Edginton  and D’Israeli. While you’d think that Johnson would of opted to include the duo’s phenomenal Scarlet Traces, he’s instead swapped the Earth/Mars war for the Atlantic Ocean, as we get a mu
