Creaks is a typical Amanita Design game. The art style feels somewhat familiar, if you played any of their other games. Its gorgeous in its own right, for sure, but for me it just felt a bit too grey and colorless. I didn't really enjoy exploring its world, but that may be by design. Also, I don't know if my brain is just wired differently, but some of these puzzles really broke me. I wouldn't consider them to be hard, but somehow, they broke my brain. Not sure, if anyone else feel like this. But this greatly diminished the fun I had with this game.
All of this though, is not really important for me personally. Because the soundtrack this game received is nothing short of a masterpiece. Hidden Orchestra is something that has landed on my playlist for years now and the Creaks OST is up there with the best for me. It's so good I feel it's a bit wasted on this game, but hey, its on Spotify so I'm just gonna continue listening to it there.
