Leonardo's Moon Ship
A narrative puzzle adventure from the creators of
Night in the Woods and Yarn Spinner
The Story
In Renaissance Florence, famed inventor Leonardo da Vinci is the talk of the town, and his renown grows by the day. But when a mysterious message calls to Leo, he finds himself torn between the love of his fans, the wrath of his enemies, and his boundless desire to learn more.
Leonardo da Vinci desperately wants to go to the moon. He yearns for it, and dreams of building a rocket to make the journey. In Leonardo's Moon Ship, the player helps Leonardo on his journey to the moon, exploring Renaissance Italy, solving puzzles, meeting historical characters, and collecting the parts needed to build his incredible moon ship.

From the Workshop
A Hand-Crafted World
Every scene in Leonardo's Moon Ship is hand-illustrated in a beautiful, whimsical style developed in collaboration with Academy Award-winning animation studio Cartoon Saloon (Wolfwalkers, Song of the Sea, The Secret of Kells), and guided by Creative Director Jim Capobianco, who received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay for Ratatouille.
The art blends historical detail with playful charm, creating a Renaissance Italy that feels alive, tactile, and full of wonder.
