The House of Da Vinci is now just $1.99 on Steam, down from $19.99. The critically praised 3D puzzle-adventure game has Renaissance themes with escape-room mechanics. Deal ends May 15.

If you're a fan of puzzle games like The Room and The Eyes of Ara, this deal should be right up your alley. The House of Da Vinci, a fan-favorite in the indie puzzle genre, is now available at its lowest recorded price of just $1.99 on Steam - that’s a steep 90% discount from its regular $19.99 tag.

Developed by Blue Brain Games and originally released in late 2017, the game puts players in the shoes of Leonardo da Vinci’s apprentice, where they are searching for the truth behind the master’s disappearance. What unfolds is a blend of Renaissance-era exploration, escape room-style mechanics and puzzles, all brought to life through detailed, fun visuals.

Even today, the game holds up well, boasting a "Very Positive" rating on Steam with over 6,000 user reviews. Most players gush over its inventive mechanics, visuals, and layered puzzles - though some reviews point out that the later puzzles can become a bit obscure or trial-and-error heavy. Despite that, even critical voices agree the game offers a unique, rewarding challenge if you’re into mechanical contraptions and historical themes.

Gameplay primarily involves operating complex inventions, peeking into the past via a special gauntlet, and navigating hidden-object puzzles spread across a stylized recreation of 16th-century Florence. The House of Da Vinci runs well even on older hardware and is available in 16 languages.

This discount runs through May 15, 2025, and is part of a limited-time deal on Steam.
