The House of Tesla Review

The House of Tesla is a 2025 adventure puzzle game developed and released by Blue Brain Games, the creators of House of Da Vinci.

 The Premise of The House of Tesla

 In The House of Tesla, we wake up in the eponymous inventor’s workshop without any memories or any idea of how we got there or what to do next.

 Gameplay

The House of Tesla is a first-person point-and-click puzzle adventure game from the creators of the House of Da Vinci game series. The House of Tesla follows a classic adventure point-and-click model, featuring interconnected puzzles to solve, which allow us to move to the next room. The game is divided into several chapters, each connected in some way with the life of the legendary inventor. We start in Tesla’s New York lab and then visit locations such as the Wardenclyffe Tower and the Chicago World’s Fair, among others. 

 The puzzles are of the point-and-click variety, where we solve several to complete an objective, such as opening a door. An interesting feature is the addition of a device that allows us to see and influence the flow of electricity. It looks like connecting dots of electricity, and it’s somewhat rarely used throughout the game. 

 The House of Tesla has the makings of a great puzzle game – it looks great, the soundtrack is pleasant enough, and the puzzles are mostly well done. We have a hint system in case we get stuck. Unfortunately, there were times during my playthrough when the hint wasn’t very helpful. 

I found the movement between scenes awkward. It’s not freely moving around, but more like moving between pre-set screens. When there’s a magnifying glass on a spot on the screen, we click on it to zoom in. If we want to go back, we right-click on the screen. Looking around is done by dragging the screen, and moving is allowed only to spots on the screen where we have the magnifying glass. The game movement is like the street view on Google Maps. Sometimes it’s a bit difficult to find the interactive spot on the screen. However, it is important to note that the developers have uploaded fixes and continue to interact with the players, addressing issues and implementing improvements. 

 Since I haven’t played the previous games by the same developers, I can’t tell if The House of Tesla is an improvement compared to the other games. At the very least, it looks somewhat similar in style. 

 Some Other Things 

The House of Tesla has a demo available on its Steam page. The game has Steam achievements but no Trading cards yet. The game has basic audio and video settings. 

Conclusion

If you like puzzles and are interested in the life of Nikola Tesla, you should try The House of Tesla. The game has a helpful demo on its page, so you don’t even need to buy it to try it. Despite some problems, the game is a great example of a traditional point-and-click adventure, and the continued support of its developers shows a lot of commitment to making the game great.
