Creaks

The game is set in a subterranean castle filled with varied, fun and challenging puzzle rooms. Design and music are both very impressive. Often I was surprised at how they would meticulously draw tens and tens of background objects to use in a single room, simply because they wanted it to look as good and real as possible. The music is kind of unique. There is an entire little youtube documentary about it on their official channel. Every song consists of a set number layers that are constantly scrambled, creating randomly generated music. Depending on the situation, the music is scrambled together from different sources. For example when you just enter a room it can be mellow and ambient and slowly slowly as you progress through the puzzles in the room the music randomizer will start picking parts that are more energetic and cheerful. Really great to be honest. I didn't notice during playing but often wondered how they could have such long songs and such a varied soundtrack. Lots of secrets and funky mini games of intentionally dubious but amusing quality. I'd definitely give this a go.

A wonderfully made light hearted and engaging adventure filled with creative and challenging puzzles unique story and truly amazing graphics. Amanita set the bar to the roof as far as the platform puzzle genre is concerned. This game is a testament to the hardworking innovative game designers. 10/10 Its evident that the crew making the game had a lot of fun in the process and personally I really enjoyed the experience. Definitely scratched my head more then a few times. and challenging games is what my generation lived for. A pleasure

I have played almost all their games, and each of them is a source of pure joy every time you complete it. Some people say this isn't a "true Amanita Design" game and that the studio has lost ther vision or something.. ignore them. No studio has ever made success by making the same game over and over (Pirahna Bytes games fans are probably going to disagree). The story unfolds slowly as you descend deeper and deeper into the underground world, and I love the fact that Amanita Design were able to tell it purely by worldbuilding and without a single word, whether written or uttered. I loved how each new puzzle element is first introduced to you in a simple single-step puzzle, and I didn't feel like any of the puzzles was too obtuse. Some of the mini-games may feel like that, but, like in any puzzle game, a bit of experimentation will always help you figure everything out. The visuals? This in an Amanita Design game, they are always great :D Everything is hand-drawn, and the detail level is astounding, especially the moving bits in every scene. The game is truly an eye candy if you love art. Sound design is also great -- every time you move closer to solving the scene, you will hear a chime, and music will start playing more lively. The music is top notch, by the way, I really liked some of the tracks, and they would probably be great to listen to on their own. Overall, this is very chill game that doesn't take much time to complete. I mostly play such games to "clear the palate" after completing a big game before starting another one, but I'd happily play Creaks once again. Well done!

Amanita seems to be Diamond or Dirt Only studio. Creaks is a second diamond from them. Everything in this game is fantastic! Whatever is not fantastic is great and whatever is not great is extraordinary. And I'm talking: imagination, humor, hand drawn art style, animation and puzzles. And now official statement, for the records: whoever rates this game less than five stars cannot be my friend on any media I'm signed up for. And those are running water and electricity.

Amanita are well known for their point and click adventures, Creaks uses the platform puzzler principle instead. Unlike "Another World", or "Abes Odyssee", There are no wapons and you don't have to kill your enemies. Creaks also has a much slower pace then classical platformers The game rewards you with solid controls, nice detailed graphics and animations and a good soundtrack. If you are a fan of Machinarium and "Another World" you will love this game.
