The Archivist's Vault

This is a parser-like terminal environment that emphasizes searching and discovery. It has themes of preservation, corruption, and the fragility of memory

The Archivist's Vault is an interactive fiction game about memory, archives, and loss. You are granted access to the remnants of a once-vast digital repository, where documents, interviews, and secret memos linger in a corrupted state. Some files unlock easily, others require decryption, and many conceal contradictions about what truly happened before the collapse. As you navigate the terminal interface, you must search for keywords, open files, and reconstruct a fractured history. Along the way, you encounter ghostly traces of archivists who struggled—and perhaps failed—to preserve the stories entrusted to them.
