From the visionaries at Amanita Design, Creaks is a surreal puzzle-platformer that trades traditional dialogue for visual storytelling and atmosphere. Players descend through a hidden world discovered behind the walls of their bedroom, navigating a massive, crumbling structure. The core mechanic revolves around 'creaks'—hostile creatures that transform into harmless household objects when exposed to light. By manipulating switches, bridges, and the environment, you must outsmart these shadows to uncover the secrets of the mansion and the giant monster threatening its foundation.

The key to progress is understanding creature behavior. Dogs will chase you until they hit light and turn into bedside tables; birdmen move in patterns. Always look for the next light switch before making a move.
Deep dive into the game's mechanics and art style.
Gameplay is focused on logic-based environmental puzzles. There is no combat; instead, you use the creatures' movements and the mansion's machinery to clear paths and descend deeper into the structure.
Yes, while the atmosphere is spooky and surreal, it is not violent and focuses entirely on logic puzzles.
