Watch the gameplay trailer.
A strategy game of exploration, endurance, and space travel on an interstellar gothic monastery. Explore solar systems, harvest resources, construct outposts, and face hazards in the challenging universe of The Banished Vault.
Grab the physical game manual.
While the manual is included in-game, we’ve also created a real, physical version that binds together gameplay guidance, a helpful reference section, and, of course, plenty of captivating art. Plus, the physical version has space for your own note-taking, for example, making pre-flight checklists.
Learn the best ways to guide your Exiles to safety.
We’ve created a series of short videos, each one dedicated to a gameplay feature in The Banished Vault. You might want to get to grips with the mechanics before you step foot into the challenging universe, or maybe you need a mid-game refresher to help you out of a bind. Either way, these speedy tutorials, narrated by Nic, are a quick and easy way to learn how to keep your Exiles safe, your ships and outposts functional, and The Gloom at bay.
Read the developer blog.
A series of design diaries written by The Banished Vault’s designer and developer, Nic Tringali. Learn how the game came together, the challenges it faced, and the intricacies of its creation.
Listen to the original soundtrack.
Twelve original tracks to accompany you as you guide your exiles to safety. The Banished Vault’s soundtrack embodies the soul of the game, with moody, ambient pieces that reflect the loneliness of outer space — and the fear of what you still might stand to lose.

Salvage what remains.
The Exiles you guide are not the first to leave the safety of the Vault to explore the solar system. Scattered among the stars are the broken remains of ships, piloted by Exiles long dead. Those that came before you are no more, but the vessels they leave behind may just be your saviour. Scavenge through the debris to find precious resources that could aid your journey across space.

Rescue and recruit Androids.
The Auriga Vault Exiles are no longer alone. Androids are stranded cybernetic travelers that can be added to your crew as pilots, navigators, and passengers. However, they have their own traits that set them apart from regular flesh-and-blood Exiles, such as depending on well-maintained Condition to survive (as opposed to Faith) and not requiring Stasis for hibernation.
