Heaven's Vault

Heaven's Vault is an archaeological science-fiction adventure game released by Inkle on Microsoft Windows on April 16, 2019.

In Heaven's Vault, the player takes the role of an archaeologist called Aliya Elasra who has a robotic companion called Six. The game follows the course of their adventure as they 'sail' between the moons of the Nebula searching for a missing roboticist called Janniqi Renba. The player has to decipher and learn the hieroglyphic language of the Ancients, a lost civilization. This involves finding and collecting inscriptions from ancient artifacts, sites and ruins and translating and discussing texts with other characters. The developers say that over a thousand words written in Ancient, the game's fictional language, can be found and say that its pictorial glyphs are inspired by Ancient Egyptian and Chinese writing systems. The player can choose their own route through the story and around the Nebula as it employs a non-linear approach to narrative storytelling, allowing the player to make choices that impact the plot.

Solutions & Issues
Ultra/Super-Wide Specific Solution & Issues:

While all gameplay and rendered cutscenes are hor+, all in-game menus to include the game settings menu, timeline, inscriptions, and navigation map are drawn vert-.

At 21:9, several graphical menu elements become stacked but largely still readable/accessible with the exception of the Apply and Reset buttons on the Settings menu becoming slightly clipped.

At 32:9, inscriptions do not display on the monitor at all and the settings menu becomes inaccessible. As a result, a main gameplay mechanic and all settings changes become inaccessible at this aspect ratio regardless of resolution.
