Samorost and Botanicula developer Amanita Design’s long-awaited, and slightly sinister, puzzle adventure Creaks will be heading to PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One and Switch later this month.
Creaks was initially announced at the tail-end of 2018, and is something of a notable departure for Amanita insofar as it eschews the studio’s usual point-and-click-style fare for an experience that’s closer to a puzzle-platformer. However, despite the genre shift, Creaks looks to be Amanita through and through, presenting a darkly surreal, richly atmospheric journey – featuring typically lavish art – to weird and wonderful depths.
As Creaks begins, a strange occurrence leads players to peel back a corner of wallpaper in their dilapidated old home – leading to the discovery of an entirely new world within its walls, a vast mansion descending into the depths, where avian creatures dwell and furniture monsters roam.
