Creaks news & patch notes

Hello everyone,

In case you haven't heard the news yet, a free demo of our upcoming game Phonopolis is now available on Steam, participating in Steam Next Fest!

This demo will give you a taste of 5 scenes that take place shortly after the game's introduction. You'll ease in with an exploration sequence of the Workers' Quarter and then move through a selection of various levels.

"Protected by his headphones, Felix, the game's protagonist, has broken free from the loudspeakers’ control and finds himself in the streets of the cardboard city of Phonopolis. Explore the Workers’ Quarter with him and tune in to a story about a city ruled by the Leader’s commands."

We're very much looking forward to hearing your precious feedback, so please share your thoughts with us wherever you prefer! We'll be keeping an eye on the forums, reviews on the demo page, social media and all the associated community blogposts here on Steam.

The demo is playable on Windows, macOS as well as Steam Deck, and supports 18 languages: English, Čeština, Français, Italiano, Deutsch, Español, 日本語, 한국어, Polski, Українська, Português (BR), Português (PT), Русский, 简体中文, 繁體中文, Türkçe, Magyar, Română

Enjoy! Lukas & Amanita Design

Hello, travelers!

We’re excited to share a closer look at Pilgrims: Curious Adventures, our very first board game developed in collaboration with our friends at Pink Troubadour. It’s inspired by the whimsical world of our video game Pilgrims, but instead of doing a one-to-one adaptation, we brewed up something new: a highly replayable, easy-to-learn yet deeply tactical tabletop adventure. Our goal was to keep the charm and playfulness of the original while creating mechanics that feel right at home on your table.

In Pilgrims: Curious Adventures, you can compete with up to three friends or even venture out solo. You’ll wander across an ever-changing map of cards to recruit companions and collect useful items. Combine movement and collected cards in thoughtful, puzzle-like ways to trigger special abilities and complete adventures to earn points and party improvements. As your party grows stronger, so do the possibilities for clever tactics and combos.

In a recent interview for Riseher.cz, designer and illustrator Radim Jurda (lead designer and artist on Creaks) shares how a small card prototype grew into a full-fledged board game, how he balanced a playful atmosphere with strategic gameplay, and what it’s been like to bring Amanita’s signature style into a new medium. You can read the entire interview in English now on BoardGameGeek.

Pilgrims: Curious Adventures will make its debut this October at Essen SPIEL 2025, the world’s largest board game fair. The English edition will launch this fall, with pre-orders opening in late September on Amanita Design’s online shop. A Czech edition is planned for 2026. Stay tuned, we’ll share pre-order details and other news here on Steam!
