Vault

ive only played the tutorial and some of the first mission so far, but i can already see the potential of this game!! definitely worth a try if you enjoy the whole "programming actions" style of game play. very reminiscent of games like iron lung and cave crawler, which are masterpieces of their own.

What if Duskers knew you had to pay rent? What if you had to explore a lost village with a roomba and zero information?! This game is drowning in style, in a way I haven't seen in a while. So read nothing more, pick them up and who knows where this will go

Vault is awesome! keveatscheese sent me a key for this one but I'd buy it even if he didn't. The game sets you up like it's a text based game then it tells ya to type in photo and then you realize that it's much more. I won't spoil anything, but look for radios in act 2. AWESOME GAME

Use a roomba with a camera and a scanner taped to it to explore a deserted island. It's controlled by simple console commands, like "move f/b/l/r", "rotate", "scan", "photo", "interact". Look for strange radio towers to unlock spawn points, rocks with sigils to unlock your way into The Cave and scraps to upgrade the drone. And maybe listen to some radio. Neat game, i enjoyed it. BUT: There are some Radio Towers that you will have to find on your own. The game doesn't automatically scan and show them to you (like with locks). And you have to be somewhat close to them for the scanner to pick them up (you can use an exploit to find their exact locations faster); Rotating the drone eats some battery, so i found it to be inefficient to rotate, instead just looking at the radar. This turned into a small problem; There are places of varying height. It took me two hours to realize some spawn points are on the high points of the map (hills, mountains) and you have to find some radio towers to unlock those spawn points. Didn't help that i rarely rotated the drone and had no idea there were cliffs ahead. If a mountain is blocking your path for some object you need to interact with - look for …

I haven't been able to put the time into this game yet, but the atmosphere and intrigue really drew me in. Working with limited tools to navigate a mysterious island is executed in a way that when your battery runs out you say, "Just one more run." I know I've barely scratched the surface with this game but I highly recommend it if you've played similar games before. If you haven't played this kind of game and you want to experience something new then this is also an awesome game!

Lots of potential here! Really valued the sounds, music, and art direction, but expected more story and varied gameplay for the time put in.
