Creaks: Complete Paintings and Achievements Guide

Creaks
By: Amanita Design

Creaks is the latest adventure game from Amanita Design. It has you climbing up and down ladders, sneaking across creaky floors and avoiding robotic dogs that turn into furniture. It’s less of a point-and-click adventure and more of a puzzle platformer. The paintings and achievements can be difficult to find, so this walkthrough guide should help you locate any you missed. Feel free to ask for extra help in the comments section.

Good Boy: Find and complete this interactive painting. – This painting is found at the start of Scene 36. You play as the dog and need to avoid the lights. The left handle moves you left and the right handle moves you right. If you fail, you’ll only have to repeat the puzzle you failed, not all of them.

    I have just 6 more paintings to find. The ones which I have not yet found is painting #14, 16, 21, 25, 32, and 35.

  2. Borrible

    Only one missing for me – the one with the dragon heads at the paintings overview.

    1. AppUnwrapper

      Oh wait I think you called the goat heads dragon heads? ThatΓÇÖs the one IΓÇÖm missing, too. I assume itΓÇÖs in the level with the three goats but I canΓÇÖt find it.

      1. Borrible

        Yes, could be goat heads. I was looking for a level with this theme, but now I have your hint. I’ll check it.

      2. Borrible

        Still stuck. I’m wondering about the lonely dog in the wheel that switches on two lights by running…

      3. Chaos

        Before you enter the room with three goats, you will pass a ladder. Don’t jump down the ladder, but climb up the ladder. You will find a secret room with the painting you are looking for.

        1. Borrible

          I’ve also found it now. I was about to report it to this site. You was quicker! Congrats! Thank you anyway.

  3. Chris

    I know this is asking a lot, when you get time could you put up a page with all the paintings as shown in the menu with the number of the level stamped on it?

    1. AppUnwrapper

      I was actually already considering doing that. 🙂

      1. Chris

        Thank you. Now IΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗ve got a chance to finish it 🙂

    2. Sarah

      Where can I find this number stamped version?

      1. AppUnwrapper

        ItΓÇÖs on the second page, the one with all the paintings.

        1. Sarah

          Thank you, I misread the initial comment (IΓÇÖm pre coffee). The problem it turned out I was having was not counting the intro scene when trying to find the correct scene based on the number- they really should number the scenes in-game!
