Creaks from Pilgrims studio is launching on Steam next week!

Hi everyone, I am excited to finally let you know that Creaks, our latest surreal puzzler, is launching on Steam next Wednesday, July 22! Please check out the game's Steam page and add the game to your wishlist if you like what you see ːsamorost_spiritː Creaks takes you on a visi

Hi everyone,

I am excited to finally let you know that Creaks, our latest surreal puzzler, is launching on Steam next Wednesday, July 22! Please check out the game's Steam page and add the game to your wishlist if you like what you see ːsamorost_spiritː

https://store.steampowered.com/app/956030/Creaks/

Creaks takes you on a visit to a mysterious towering mansion, inhabited by eccentric avian folk and strange creatures, which may or may not be as dangerous as they seem. In their animated form, these monsters called creaks are deadly enemies you should always keep your distance from. However, as soon as you manage to trap them under a beam of light, they transform into harmless furniture that might be just as useful when you’re solving many of the game’s elaborate puzzles. Players will meet several types of creaks in the game, and each of them behaves differently - while dogs will chase you on sight and spies will copy or mirror your movement, the jellyfish-like creatures composedly patrol the area.

Watch on YouTube

Inbetween individual levels and challenges, players will get to explore the house for a series of hand-crafted paintings, some of which were carefully hidden in discoverable secret rooms. About a third of the 35 collectible pieces are playable mini-games, taking on the role of little arcade cabinets in the aesthetic of 18th and 19th-century wall art.

A game inspired by the topics of ambiguity and pareidolia - the psychological phenomenon of “seeing things” - Creaks aims to surprise players with its diverse surreal environments, hand-drawn, hand-painted, and carefully animated, as well as refined puzzles. The visual art goes hand-in-hand with music from Brighton-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Joe Acheson, aka Hidden Orchestra. He delivered an eclectic score that adaptively changes based on your progression within each of the game’s levels and often drops the beat to celebrate the moment you finally figure it out. Instruments Joe used on this soundtrack, his first-ever work for a video game, are ranging from zithers and flutes to organs and choirs to modular synthesizers.

Thank you for supporting our games! We're looking forward to hear and read what you think about Creaks. ːmuchomurkaː

Makers of Samorost and Machinarium release a quirky new adventure game, Pilgrims

Amanita Design , the makers of Machinarium and the Samorost series, have released a quirky new adventure game, seemingly without warning. (Surprise! Isn't it nice when a game is just out instead of preceded by four months of trailers?) It's called Pilgrims , it's available now, a

Amanita Design, the makers of Machinarium and the Samorost series, have released a quirky new adventure game, seemingly without warning. (Surprise! Isn't it nice when a game is just out instead of preceded by four months of trailers?) It's called Pilgrims, it's available now, and having played it this morning I can confirm it's crafted with the same beautifully offbeat art and animation as Amanita's previous games.

You begin with a single character, a traveler, who wants to take a boat ride down a river. As you explore the map looking for an elusive bird to please the sleepy owner of the boat, you'll encounter puzzles to solve and a collection of other characters, some of whom can join you if you solve their problems. Every item and companion you collect is represented with a playing card, so you slowly assemble a little deck of adventure cards and characters to play in various situations.

What's really great is there are animations for every card you play in every situation—even if what you're doing isn't a correct solution to a puzzle. It's got the standard 'try using everything on everything else' trial and error system when you aren't sure how to proceed, but even when those desperate guesses don't work out, you still get to watch them not work. Using a lasso on a bear or a feeding worm soup to a witch might not get you closer to achieving your goals, but you still get to see what happens. It's much more satisfying that a simple "I can't do that."

There are also a ton of achievements you can earn just for just trying out weird card combinations, which gives you a reason to experiment freely and to play again once you've finished.

Pilgrims is set in a weird world full of rude priests, kings and princesses, reckless adventurers, hungry (and extremely picky) bears, and chuckling pond-goblins. It's short—it took me about an hour to complete it, though there are still loads of solutions I haven't tried—but it's wonderful. Pilgrims is available on Steam, GoG, Itch.io, or directly from Amanita for about five bucks.
