Nobilis, the French publisher behind The Secrets of DaVinci: The Forbidden Manuscript, has recently released a "making of" video that offers a glimpse behind the scenes into the upcoming game by Kheops and its partner studios.

With commentary from both developers and scholars, the ten minute movie offers insight not only into the game's premise and development, but also the historical locations and the famous artist, scientist, and inventor himself.

Due out in France this week and internationally in the coming weeks, The Secrets of DaVinci is a first-person, point and click adventure that tells of the story of a young man named Valdo, who must solve a series of enigmas devised by Leonardo in an effort to locate one of the great master's missing codices.

The video is 237MB, and can be downloaded from such sites as 3DGamers or WorthPlaying.
