Milan, in the time of genius and shadows. Leonardo is working on a grand fresco for the powerful Sforza family, but something strange keeps happening—the snake from their coat of arms vanishes each morning.
One night, Leonardo hides in the dark… and catches the Devil himself altering the painting. A deal is struck: if you, his brightest student, can solve the riddles scattered through Milan’s streets, the artwork will be saved.
Embark on a mysterious adventure through the heart of Milan. Walk, think, and follow cryptic clues as you explore hidden corners of the city. Play together with friends or family, discover real places, solve real-world puzzles, and create unforgettable memories in Leonardo’s footsteps.
