A surreal puzzle-adventure that transforms a crumbling subterranean mansion into a playground of light and shadow. The journey begins when a hidden trapdoor in your bedroom wall reveals a vertical world of rickety architecture and avian inhabitants. This isn't just a descent into the earth, but a dive into a hand-painted nightmare where the furniture has a life of its own.

The core of the experience revolves around pareidolia—the trick of the mind that turns shadows into monsters. In the darkness, you are hunted by deadly mechanical dogs and shifting mimics; however, by cleverly manipulating light switches and pressure plates, you can transform these threats back into harmless nightstands and coat racks. This unique mechanic turns every room into a tactical logic puzzle, requiring you to outsmart your environment to navigate deeper into the mansion’s secrets. Visually stunning and mechanically precise, Creaks is a triumph of indie craftsmanship. Every frame is a detailed watercolor painting brought to life by intricate animation and an adaptive, haunting score by Hidden Orchestra. As you solve the mansion's dozens of carefully crafted levels, you’ll uncover hidden interactive paintings and a wordless narrative that feels both ancient and urgent. It is an immersive, contemplative experience best played with headphones to truly feel the weight of every creaking floorboard.
