Creaks (by Amanita Design of Machinarium fame) may interest Drod folk who need a brain rest.

It's a beautifully rendered side-scrolling puzzle platformer, with only the lightest touch of timing. Almost all the puzzles are essentially turn-based, and all are scrupulously fair.

The puzzle elements remind me of some DROD monsters - especially clones, and anti-clones who move in the opposite way from you.

In DROD terms I'd says it can't be more than four brains: it's rewarding to play cooperatively with the kids.

There are some really long story cut scenes, and Amanita manage to weave some kind of story without words.

A light diversion.

Added that to my Steam wishlist. I loved Machinarium, and I'm glad to see that studio bringing something new.

Also, I might be a 4-brain kinda guy when it comes to the puzzles. Thanks, Karl.
