Thief of Hearts Codes: Vault & Safe Unlock Guide
Thief of Hearts is a story-driven visual novel developed by MrDots Games. Players follow a protagonist involved in a series of daring heists while building relationships with multiple characters. The game features a Vault system that accepts special codes to unlock in-game walkthroughs, secret scenes, bonus animations, and extra image galleries. Additionally, certain story moments require solving keypad or dial-safe puzzles. This guide covers every known code and combination.
How to Use Vault Codes
The Vault is accessed from the main menu or through the in-game phone interface, depending on the installed version. To redeem a code:
- Launch the game and navigate to the Vault section from the main menu.
- Locate the code input field.
- Type the password that matches the current game version.
- Confirm to unlock the associated rewards.
Vault content typically includes an in-game walkthrough, secret scene locations, rolling animations, and additional image galleries. If a code is rejected, the installed build may be newer or older than the version the code was designed for.
All Vault Codes
The following table lists confirmed Vault passwords organized by game version. Note that codes may vary between different distribution builds and patches.
| Version | Episode | Vault Code |
|---|---|---|
| v0.0.8 / v0.0.8.1 | Part 3, Episode 8 | 851375 / 685030 |
| v0.0.7 | Part 2, Episode 7 | 851375 |
| v0.0.4a | Part 2, Episode 4 | 851375 |
| v0.0.3b | Part 1, Episode 3 | 338248 / 851375 |
| v0.0.3 | Part 1, Episode 3 | 685030 |
Players should try the code that corresponds to their specific build number, which is displayed on the main menu or in the settings screen. If multiple codes are listed for the same version, the correct one depends on the exact patch revision installed.
Safe and Keypad Combinations
Certain heist sequences require the player to open locked containers using dial or keypad combinations. The following solutions have been confirmed through gameplay.
Keypad Puzzle
During one of the early heist scenes, a keypad must be unlocked to proceed. The correct sequence is:
210224
Players are given three attempts to enter the correct code. After three failures, a BYPASS option becomes available to skip the puzzle entirely.
Dial Safe Puzzle
Another sequence features a traditional dial safe. To open it, rotate the dial to the following numbers in order:
4 – 21 – 81
It is important to release the hold on the dial after each number to ensure the mechanism registers the input correctly.
Gallery Unlock via Mod
For players who wish to access all replay gallery content without replaying every scene, a community-made unlocker mod is available. This mod unlocks the entire gallery, including fantasy scenes and alternate paths, by extracting script files into the game folder. It is recommended to back up the original game files before installing any third-party modifications.
Secret Scenes & Task Points
Throughout each episode, hidden Secret Scenes and Task Points are scattered across various locations. These are marked by subtle visual cues that glow when the cursor hovers over them. Collecting all secret scenes in an episode contributes to the final review screen statistics and unlocks bonus wallpaper images.
The in-game walkthrough — accessible through the Vault with a valid code — provides exact directions to every secret location and task point, eliminating the need for external guides.
Save File Location
Progress is stored in the standard Ren'Py save directory. Players who wish to back up or transfer saves can find them at:
C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\ThiefOfHearts
When moving from one episode release to the next, the game typically requires a save file created at the designated SAVE HERE point to import progress correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Vault code not work?
Vault codes are version-locked. If the game has been updated since the code was published, the password may no longer be valid. Players should verify their exact build number and try the corresponding code from the table above.
Can codes be used on Android?
Yes. The Vault system functions identically across Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android builds. The code input interface is the same on all platforms.
Is there a way to unlock everything without codes?
The gallery unlocker mod provides an alternative for players who prefer not to enter Vault passwords. However, this requires manual file installation and carries the same risks as any third-party modification.
Final Tips
- Always back up save files before updating to a new episode or installing mods.
- Check the main menu for the exact version number before attempting any Vault code.
- Use the in-game walkthrough from the Vault to locate all secret scenes and task points efficiently.
- Follow the developer’s official channels for announcements about new episode releases and corresponding Vault codes.
