About

Silent Vault

Features
Read full description

Silent Vault is a turn-based stealth puzzle about escaping locked floors before patrol vision closes in. Move one room at a time, collect cipher codes, read rotating sight lines, spend cloak charges at the right moment, and reach the exit before steps or alert integrity run out. The game focuses on deliberate planning rather than speed. Every move advances the patrol pattern, so players need to study the board, choose quiet routes, and decide when a cloak charge is worth using. Short runs, readable rules, and local progression make each attempt clear and replayable. Core Features - Turn-based stealth puzzle gameplay on compact vault boards - Three distinct modes: Moonlit Entry, Pressure Wing, and Ghost Route - Daily Lock route with a date-seeded patrol pattern - Patrol vision that rotates as the player moves - Cipher codes to collect before reaching the exit - Cloak charges for tactical escapes from danger - One rewind charge to undo a risky move and restore the patrol pattern - Decoy pulses that redirect patrol lenses without consuming a step - Local archive, contracts, relics, streaks, best score, and silent-step records - Records page with escape rate, average score, and run summary - Built-in How to Play popup shown before a run begins - SwiftUI interface split across clear app, core, game, and view files - Offline play with no account, no ads, no in-app purchases, and no tracking

Line Shift is a real-time rail puzzle where the signal never waits for you. A glowing arrow leaves its emitter, rides whatever track lies ahead, and keeps going. You never touch the arrow. You rebuild the route in front of it while it runs. Three crafts make up the game. In Seam Relay you drag lettered rails along their slots, snapping them into place ahead of the signal and stealing spent rails from behind it to close the next gap. In Flip Face you swipe two-sided tapes so the outbound face carries the signal into a waiting loop and the inbound face brings it home. In Cross Bridge you raise a crossing to keep a heading or flatten it to force a turn. Line Relay mixes all three with clamps, reverse pads, delay rings, splitters, mergers, counters, doors and echo nodes. Every route ends when the required signals reach their gates. Mistakes are gentle: a signal brakes at a gap, bounces off a clashing port, and the emitter refills anything lost.
