  The recently released Gothic 1 remake shows one page of the VMS in the game.

  Quote:While playing yesterday, I noticed something inside the captain's cabin of the shipwreck that I'm somewhat familiar with. A page from the real-life Voynich Manuscript (see the second image for actual page). It's really interesting because the Voynich Manuscript is a 240-page medieval book written by an unknown author in an unidentified language. No one has ever deciphered it, so we don't know what it says. It features drawings of mysterious plants, bathhouses, zodiac symbols, stars, etc in detail.

  
  BTW: Alkimia isn't the first studio to display pages from the VMS. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 also showed it in the Kickstarter video (3:53).
  
     
  
  edit: The VMS also appears in older games and is even part of the game’s plot in some cases:
  
  Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon (2003, PC, 3D adventure) – the manuscript is part of the game’s plot. Its text contains prophecies of natural disasters in the near future.
  
  Radiata Stories (2005, PlayStation 2) – the Voynich Manuscript appears as one of the books in the Vareth Institute.
  
  Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (2013) – the Voynich Manuscript is part of the Animus database.
  
  Assassin’s Creed Rogue – the Voynich Manuscript is a key part of the plot.
