The House of Da Vinci is a puzzle based game similar to Fireproof's The Room. Leonardo Da Vinci is missing and your destiny as his most advanced pupil is to find him. Al tough the resolution of puzzles is quite ingenious, controls and camera are very imprecise.
Although The House of Da Vinci is slightly marred by persnickety mechanics and the occasionally frustrating puzzle, exploring the mind of a genius by reverse engineering his inventions will pull you into a gorgeous Renaissance world and keep you challenged throughout.

Great puzzle game with a helpful hint system and intriguing contraptions to tinker with. Unsatisfactory ending.

The House of Da Vinci is an intriguing puzzle game that immerses you in the fascinating world of Leonardo Da Vinci's inventions and mysteries. The underlying storyline is highly engaging and unfolds in a captivating manner throughout the game. The puzzles are well-crafted and offer a good challenge, allowing you to test your logical thinking and problem-solving skills.
One of the game's strengths lies in its visually stunning environments. The graphics beautifully depict the settings, making you feel immersed in Da Vinci's era with meticulous attention to historical details. This contributes to creating a captivating and immersive atmosphere while exploring the house.
However, one of the major drawbacks of the game is the lack of freedom of movement. Despite the captivating setting, you are unable to fully explore the house, which can be frustrating for players who wish to investigate every corner and discover hidden secrets. Additionally, there are numerous cutscenes during transitions between areas, which can disrupt the flow of gameplay.
Another aspect that can be frustrating is the need to frequently move from one room to another to solve puzzles. This can interrupt the game's pace and slow down progress. Moreover, despite the inclusion of special abilities, their usage is not always clear, and they seem to be underutilized throughout the game.
Lastly, in terms of storytelling, while the underlying plot is highly interesting, its execution leaves something to be desired. Most of the information is conveyed through letters from Da Vinci that you find along the way. Although they are intriguing, this approach can become repetitive and lacking in variety. It would have been appreciated to have a more dynamic and engaging narrative.
In conclusion, The House of Da Vinci is an engaging and fascinating puzzle game that offers a good challenge and an interesting storyline. However, it has certain limitations such as the lack of freedom of movement and somewhat repetitive storytelling. Despite these drawbacks, the game's strengths, including well-crafted puzzles and visually beautiful environments, still make the gaming experience worth trying.

Not a bad puzzle, though point&click mechanics is annoying. We need normal opportunity to move ourselves.

Decent overall. Good puzzles for the most part, but a few seem quite random and senseless. Specially on the last chapter, which last puzzles made no sense and after nearly half an hour trying to figure them out, I ended up looking for the answer online. And after seeing the answer, I got even more confused than I already was.
Coming from having played and loved all "The Room" games, this one is quite worse than every single one of them.
