Excellent platform puzzler with a unique, creepy aesthetic. Very surreal at times. I took about 7 hours to finish the story and found the puzzles to be challenging enough to be fun.

Incredible world-building and such amazing, beautiful art. I was continuously impressed by the love and care that went not just into the design of every oh-so detailed room and hallway, but especially into even the collectible oil paintings hidden throughout the game - many of which are singularly unique mini games as well.

The puzzles are the perfect level of challenging - take a couple minutes to sit back and think through the puzzle backwards kind of challenging. This eccentric family of humanoid birds with their long lineage of interesting ancestors (among whom include a water divining musician, a scientist training fish to jump, and a naturalist who carries a bookshelf on his back) is not something I knew I needed.

Creaks is the most charming game I have played all year.
