The Secrets of Da Vinci Demo

Few people in the history of humankind got to be as famous as Leonardo Da Vinci is, given the fact that he lived 500 years ago and books are still being written about him nowadays. Not only that, but he’s also mentioned in movies, TV shows, and even video games. Hence, he is truly one of the most recognizable names in science and art, thanks to his immense contributions in both fields.

The Secrets of Da Vinci is an adventure game that challenges you to match wits with the famous Italian and attempt to solve a few riddles concerning his work. Naturally, most of the stuff presented by the story is fictional and a tad silly, but some of the influences are taken from history and you can definitely feel like you are part of something great as you begin to unravel the riddles.

Speaking of which, the story talks about some of the notes and scribbles Leonardo left behind after his death, theoretically in the care of his friend Francesco Melzi. Years later, some of these notes happen to disappear, which means that someone is hired to trace and recover them. Obviously, that someone happens to be you, so you get to explore a variety of interesting environments along the way.

Just like in every other adventure game, the puzzles are what keep you going back for more, especially if they are challenging enough to make you ponder. The Secrets of Da Vinci may not feature the most ingenious and brilliant puzzles, but they are nice enough to make the time spent working on them worthwhile and intriguing enough to keep you playing until the end.

The same goes for visual quality as well, because although it may not be as charming and as good looking as other games, the graphics are more than decent and you should not have any trouble getting into the proper atmosphere. The soundtrack makes the experience that much more memorable and relaxing, at least when you are not trying really hard to find an answer to a puzzle.

All things considered, it may be true that The Secrets of Da Vinci doesn’t really have any glaring flaws, but nothing about it is too good either. Hence, while you should be able to finish it without getting bored, you’ll most likely forget all about it and the story afterward.
