Creaking DEMO
A downloadable game for Windows
Break through the hell of creaking boards and try to find the way out.
But be aware - creatures dwell behind those boards and they don't like being disturbed.
Rules:
It's just a classic minesweeper.
Number indicates amount of entities (Lurkers) in 8 neighboring cells. That's it.
For example...
A number indicating 1 Lurker nearby (there's only one masked cell around it so that location of the Lurker is obvious):
Now, I flag it to keep it out of my memory:
And clear masked tiles that are required to not have any danger:
The aim is to find and get to the exit ladder (smiley face):
Controls:
- Scroll Mouse Wheel to change equipment
- Left click to swing axe and interact with objects
- Tab to hold closer the Detector
- F facing a wall to flag a tile
- Left/Right click with Detector to zoom in/out
Note:
Right now the game has only one seeded map.
Other game modes are planned.
The game was made for Screamology Game Jam (2026) in ~5 days.
Highly inspired by Minesweeper and some random post on r/HorrorGaming.

Incredible work on this game!! I love minesweeper so to see it remade into horror is outstanding!
I would like to mention that there seems to be a bug where when the speed decreases while stepping over a board engages, it seems to persist after chopping the board and the effect can stack too which makes you really slow but besides that, incredible job! :)
Thank you for the kind words and the bug report! :)
I think I know why it happens so it should be fixed on the full release
