Safecracker: The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure

The game is a first-person puzzle adventure game, where the player moves through 3D environments, to find the safes to crack. The safes themselves vary in style and design, from safe to safe. The games story revolves around a safe cracker, being hired by the family of a recently deceased billionaire and oil magnate, Duncan W. Adams. The player has been employed to find the will of Duncan W. Adams, by cracking the 35 safes that were in his possession. ==Development==

Safecracker: The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure was first conceived in early 2006, when DreamCatcher Interactive queried Kheops Studio about developing a game in the style of Daydream Software's Safecracker. According to Kheops' Benoît Hozjan, the idea arose because the original had been a hit for the publisher. Kheops responded with a pitch for the game and suggested a plot based on locating a will. The transition proved difficult. The game was reported to be a spiritual sequel to Daydream's title, rather than a strict follow-up. In May, Hozjan estimated that it would be finished in July and "released in late summer or fall" thereafter. After going gold in July 2006, the game reached store shelves in the U.S. in August. ==Reception==
