Creaks was a 2D platform adventure brimming with imagination. Its puzzles were satisfying—transitioning from screen to screen, all while outsmarting pesky furniture that kept coming to life. It was a prime example that dialogue isn’t required to tell a story, the environment and characters charming in their own way. The most striking thing was its beautiful hand-painted visuals that depicted a crumbling mansion in a subterranean world.

There wasn't a great deal of variety as most puzzles involved manipulating light in some way, but I liked it and found it relaxing for the most part, outside of the moments where the trial and error puzzle solving got frustrating.
