Amanita Design released Creaks in 2020. It is an adventure casual game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. Its Steam review count passes 5 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Being 6 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. It is not Windows only, with macOS covered too. Completionists have 28 achievements to work through. Its Metacritic score stands at 82. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Steam lists support for 18 languages.
