Leave a Review The House of Da Vinci Lite
Yeah… don’t think I need to play more.
As tired as the devs must be of hearing that this is a rip off of The Room… it’s a rip off of The Room. Only the very limited and clunky navigation and interaction with your surroundings is enough to drive you to insanity. There’s a lens like The Room, but trying to get it to activate is an exercise in futility most of the time. You start to think there’s no need to use it on a particular puzzle because it won’t freaking activate… until the hint tells you that you do, so you have to fight with it to get it to work. There’s no logical flow to the puzzles. It’s just puzzles because Da Vinci is a genius and he felt like it I guess. You can barely read the writing in his letters. And interacting with things is awkward and frustrating.
I’m not one of the people who wants stuff for free. I prefer to buy games outright. But if I’m more frustrated with the interface than with the actual puzzles, something is wrong.Show lessIRW
Buggy
Downloaded this to see if I want to play the full game. The puzzles are well designed, which is what the 1 star is for. No more stars because user experience is horrible (at least on an iPhone). You can’t easily move things around when you’re supposed to move them. When you put a key on a lock it doesn’t recognize the key. I’ve played many puzzles on my phone and I found my biggest interest in a game heavily relies on how much I can trust its design - if I can’t open a lock with a key, it better be a wrong key for that lock and not some app bug. Won’t be buying the full version after this.Show lessTemporubato

Hi there. This seems odd. First, we would suggest reinstalling the game or restarting the current chapter again – there might have been a glitch. However there shouldn’t be any blocker bug in the game, it’s been around a while and nobody else has reported similar issues. Sometimes, it’s only about finding the sweet spot.Hello
Why does it say free then ask you to buy that’s stupid because if it ant free then you should have put a price on it then making it look free a lot of them say it this is why I don’t play a lot of the gamesMarshallwife

Hi there, thanks for playing! This version says "lite", which means it's a demo version of the full game.Not as smooth as The Room
I played The Room series first, and wanted to explore other games like it. This seemed very similar so I decided to give this lite version a try before I decided to buy the full version. The biggest issue, and ultimately why I deleted the game, is the controls. They are just not as smooth as The Room and get very frustrating very fast making the game pretty much impossible to enjoy. If they made the controls smoother and easier to use I’d absolutely consider giving this game another chance.Show lessGlowingqucks

Hi there. Thanks for the review. If you have any gameplay issues or you feel stuck, please get in touch with us via davinci@bluebraingames.com or check out the walkthrough video. Thanks!Appreciate the effort but no
This game just reassembled The Room too much, from music, to icon, to game flow, to even THAT lens. And this game also makes realise how smooth The Room works and how awkward this game feels like, and you guys literally force me to compare with it. That’s definitely not “pay a tribute”.
I downloaded the lite version is to see what the full version might feel like and see if I like it or not, not to take advantage. It doesn’t make sense to buy a full version when the lite version makes me super uncomfortable already.
Model is great, a lot of elements are original and nice, but some control just drive people crazy because it overlap with the view movements or something else, which you can see a significant difference in The Room. Once again, if this game wasn’t reassembling The Room that much then I’ll probably accept this kind of flaws.Show lessHuifre

This game is amazing & for all ages! If you like games like Room 1, 2, 3 then this is just like those, except much better. Lots of nice graphics, animation, and creativity. Buy the full version to enjoy the full experience. I just wished it had more chapters to play with. The puzzles are unique and interesting. Every new puzzle is fun and never boring. I hope developers keep creating such games as there are very few games like this. So glad to play this!Show lessMedttechh

Fun as hell very challenging makes you thinkJth*0818
Awesome, but...
As soon as I saw the regular version of this app, I was like “Ohhhh, I am definitely installing this!” But when I noticed it cost money, I went searching and found the LITE version. I absolutely love it, I just wish it let me access a little more than just the first two chapters😐, because I an addicted!!Show lessBeezy12008951
Cute
I thought this game would be awesome because the graphics were amazing but I was getting to aggravated playing it. Trying to maneuver around and closing out of puzzles was very difficult. Am I the only one having this problem. Like the book with the names. I finally got it open but then I couldn’t close it. There is an x in the right corner that has options and I could quit the game. That x should be to get out of the puzzle. It would be sooooo much easier. I’m playing on an iPad. I don’t know if that makes a difference. It’s to bad because I really wanted to play but I just couldn’t figure out how to exit areas. This is one game I would have bought too.Show lessicaraven

Hi there. In order to close the book, you need to pinch the screen – simple as that :) The "x" will always take you to the main menu. Enjoy!Good game, this is only chapter one
I liked the game enough to purchase the full version. I only wish the description had made it more clear that this is a Demo, not a “lite” version of the game. If you get to the end and decide to purchase the full game, you’ll have to replay that whole section, which is kind of annoying. So just be aware. I hope the developer updates the description to make it more clear what “lite” means.Show lessjustkellyok

Hi there. Apple restricts developers calling any game a "Demo". This is the only reason it has the "Lite" word in the game title. Thanks for understanding.
