Valdo, an ambitious young apprentice working for Leonardo Da Vinci's disciple, Francesco, is least happy when the scholar suddenly dismisses him. However, shortly afterwards, he receives a letter from a mysterious patron, asking him to locate one of the great master's missing codices.

To gain access to Da Vinci's last residence, the Manoir du Cloux near Ambroise, Valdo tells its new inhabitant, a courtesan by the name of Babou de la Bourdaisière, that he is Francesco Melzi's apprentice and that he wishes to examine the inventions that still remain on the estate.

Under this cover, he starts to scour the estate: Babou's bedroom, Leonardo's workshop, the grounds, and dovecot, leaving no stone unturned. In the course of his investigations, he encounters a wide array of intriguing characters: Saturnin, a suspicious looking guardian, as well as the King of France himself.

To complete his mission, he has to solve a series of enigmas set by the great master himself. On the trail of the genious, Valdo is no more aware of the secrets he is about to unveil as the danger lurking in store for him.

   Really good game, mostly minor criticisms

   by NorthernSpruce, Canada - Dec 29th 2011

   This is a clever and beautifully drawn game. The scenes and rooms are often exquisite, the puzzles are intelligent, challenging and varied, there are a number of parallel story lines and even plot twists. You accumulate a huge inventory of fun and interesting objects to use. It was a little choppy at times to play on a Macbook but mostly very smooth. The characters and dialogue are fair (the voices and accents are pleasant). Be warned: there is one puzzle near the end (involving the Mona Lisa) that is nearly impossible and what's worse, not even slightly entertaining. I found a walkthrough for it (many online commenters using PCs discovered a cheat but it doesn't work on Mac) and that's the only way I finished it. Apart from that one glaring flaw, it is a fun and absorbing game.

   Tremendously absorbing.

   Excellent puzzles and twists in the game allow for hours of enjoyment. This is the kind of game you think about when you are away from the computer, trying to solve that last challenge. Well done, Coladia.
