If you're stuck on a puzzle for any lengthy amount of time, 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.
Often when stumped I would quickly swap over to each of these tools just to see if one of them hid a missing component.Īlso, in a move that I am absolutely thrilled with, this game has implemented a completely optional hint system that works really well. 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. 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. Rarely do you feel like this game is making you guess at what to do, and more often than not the answer you're looking for is a part of a device you didn't look at closely enough, or a tool in your possession you didn't realize you could reconfigure into something else. The puzzles in this game are superb, and many are solved largely through being observant and thoughtful. 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 gameplay itself here involves you interacting with countless devices strewn throughout Da Vinci's workshop to find a way to move further on. 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 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 he has left hastily-scrawled notes about an evil plot to use one of his inventions to wreak havoc on the world, with instructions to find your way through his workshop to assist him.
