Creaks is a hand-painted puzzle adventure developed by Amanita Design, the creators of Machinarium and Samorost. Released in 2020, the game invites players into a mysterious mansion hidden behind the walls of a small apartment. What begins as strange noises and flickering lights soon turns into a journey through shadowy corridors filled with peculiar furniture monsters and secret passages. Instead of traditional combat, the game focuses on clever environmental puzzles and stealth-based movement.
Players must manipulate light and darkness to transform creatures into harmless objects and uncover safe paths forward. The narrative unfolds without dialogue, relying on atmospheric storytelling, haunting sound design, and beautifully animated visuals. A mesmerizing soundtrack by Hidden Orchestra enhances the eerie yet captivating mood. As you explore deeper, you uncover hidden paintings that reveal fragments of a larger, symbolic story. Creaks delivers a thoughtful, artistic experience filled with tension, curiosity, and imaginative world-building.
