The story is told through letters and notes you find around the rooms throughout the gameplay. Each room you enter contains lots of different puzzles and almost always every puzzle is interconnected. You’ll need to solve parts of them to reveal objects which need to be used in order to progress on to another puzzle present in the room. You’ll have to examine each object you come across in great detail as you will find many hidden secrets. Most of the puzzles have some sort of moving mechanics that will need some manipulation by you to solve the puzzle. When you find an object it goes into your inventory, you can rotate each object in your inventory and often manipulate it to either transform it into something else or combine it with another item.

Two Eyepieces and Hints

For instance, a wooden rose head can have a metal rod added to it to form a style of key to be used on another object in the room to help solve a puzzle. A lot of the puzzles you will come across are based on Leonardo’s actual work. There’s his Battle of Anghiari painting as a puzzle and you will see his wooden tank and the flying contraption that is seen at the beginning of the game. Following on from the similarities with Fireproof’s series, The Room’s main item you use throughout their game is an eyepiece and that item also appears in The House of Da Vinci. However, in The House of Da Vinci your given two eyepieces to use.  Prison Architect Switch NSP

The first eyepiece you’re given, the Oculi Infinitum, allows you to see things with X-ray vision which helps you find secret codes embedded within some of the puzzles. Later on you’re given the second eyepiece, the Oculi Tempus, this eyepiece allows you to see into the past. By using it you see a ghostly image showing you how to open a secret door. Or you may be shown just the right number of turns needed or the position required to move something in order to solve your next lock or puzzle. Sometimes it’s difficult to know which eyepiece you should be using for a particular puzzle, I found myself swapping between each eyepiece’s constantly throughout the game.

Interconnected Puzzles

There is a very great variety of puzzles in The House of Da Vinci, from sliding tile puzzle to a mini map strategy game where you’re tasked with conquering different areas on the map by figuring out the patterns and moving the pieces across the map. Usually playing this sort of game I would take notes in my gaming note book of things I needed to remember. Due to the Nintendo Switch having a screenshot feature I used that instead of my note book and it works very well for remembering important clues to the puzzles. The House of Da Vinci is an interactive first-person puzzle game that places you in the role of an unnamed assistant to legendary artist and inventor Leonardo Da Vinci coming to his workshop late one night to find.

This is a great premise told in a fairly minimal style through notes left for you by Da Vinci, but the tone is delightfully ominous and couched in enough atmosphere that it more than makes up for the lack of characters to interact with. The gameplay itself here involves you interacting with countless devices strewn throughout Da Vinci’s workshop to find a way to move further on. These devices are intricately rendered in wonderful detail, and one of the great delights of this game is encountering a new device and uncovering its secrets, or finding a hidden switch and seeing one of these contraptions unfold into some new configuration. The puzzles in this game are superb, and many are solved largely through being observant and thoughtful.

This game also provides players with two tools straight out of science fiction – one which allows you to manipulate devices with a sort of X-Ray vision, and another that allows you to look back in time to view earlier configurations of a device. I found these tools to be interesting, but I feel mixed about their implementation, since they only work in specific situations, and it’s not always clear which situations call for them. Often when stumped I would quickly swap over to each of these tools just to see if one of them hid a missing component. Also, in a move that I am absolutely thrilled with, this game has implemented a completely optional hint system that works really well. Project Nimbus Complete Edition Switch NSP

The game lights up an icon to let you know a new hint is available, and if your skull is a bit too thick, those hints become increasingly more blunt over time. Of course, those not wanting their hands to be held can simply ignore this icon and try to solve these mysteries themselves, and the game doesn’t try to push you if you’d rather do things the hard way, but it sure is nice having the option if you ever find yourself stumped. While I am absolutely delighted with so much of this game, there is one element of The House of Da Vinci that I find frustrating – the controls. Because solving puzzles usually involves manipulating devices in three dimensions, the game requires you to play using Joycon motion controls or, in handheld mode, touchscreen controls.
