Vanessa Saint-Pierre Delacroix & Her Nightmare v1.3 Requirements: Android 2.1+ Overview: Vanessa Saint-Pierre Delacroix faces a serious issue-and it's not just signing her name. She is stuck. She is stuck on a six-sided, 3D cube with nothing but a key, a door, and her wits-which are controlled by you. Did her nightmare just become worse? This is more than just a puzzle game. It's a 3D, spider-infested, stupefying, wonderfully-horrific puzzle nightmare. Curiosity Captured Vanessa Vanessa loves two things: puzzles and exploring, and her meddling curiosity has gotten you both into all kinds of mind-boggling trouble. One day, while exploring her father's antique shop, she discovers a mysterious, mechanical box. After fiddling around with it, the box sucks her and her world inside. Use your considerable puzzle-solving skills to twist and turn her way to freedom. The Stuff of 3D Nightmares Across more than three dozen levels, guide Vanessa from the entrance of each level to the exit until she finally makes it home. Standing between her and freedom are a number of gameplay mechanics. Move blocks and turn faces of the cube to navigate Vanessa out of this nightmare. What's so mind-boggling about that, you ask? The two-dimensional world lies on the surface of a three-dimensional magic cube, and you must rotate each face of the cube to find the multiple solutions to only one exit per level. Return to the Underworld And it's not just hard the first time. You'll be tempted to go back and replay levels to earn more coins, achievements, and better solutions to each puzzle-as if your productivity in the real world wasn't disrupted enough the first time around.
