The Home of Da Vinci VR, an immersive puzzle adventure inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s ingenious inventions, is set to debut on Quest and Steam next month.
Prior to the announcement in Might, Blue Mind Games is transforming its 2017 flat-screen game into a virtual reality experience through The House of Da Vinci VR. As you embark on a perilous adventure, you assume the role of Leonardo da Vinci’s trusted apprentice, venturing through 16th-century Renaissance Italy to unravel enigmatic riddles and navigate intricate escape rooms in pursuit of the missing maestro. Drawing creative inspiration directly from Leonardo da Vinci’s groundbreaking inventions, the game’s environments are meticulously crafted based on his iconic artworks and the rich history of Florence.
Unraveling the enigma of Da Vinci requires harnessing an extraordinary device that re-creates pivotal moments from his past, challenging your problem-solving skills through a series of “struggle machines,” advanced lockboxes, and immersive escape rooms. The studio emphasizes that these puzzle mechanics were meticulously crafted from the ground up specifically for virtual reality experiences.
Throughout our Gamescom 2024 preview, we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the immersive world of The Home of Da Vinci, commending its captivating atmosphere and thoughtfully crafted puzzles that left us in awe.
Within the immersive world of The Home of Da Vinci VR, 16th-century set pieces stood out for their meticulous design and superior lighting. Warm rooms aglow with candlelight subtly shift their gaze towards the lunar blue, crafting an intimate ambiance that oscillates precariously between soothing calmness and palpable unease. The soundscape’s eerie whispers, coupled with the unsettling creaks of ancient gates and an array of disquieting clicks, unsettled my nerves throughout.
The Home of Da Vinci VR lands on December 4, exclusively on Meta Quest and Steam.
