Puzzle game Squeakross: Home Squeak Home is now available for Switch via Nintendo eShop and PC via Steam and itch.io for $14.99, developer Alblune announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via Alblune:
Welcome Home!
Welcome to the Home Squeak Home program! In this program, you will meet Nini, the program’s official Manager, who has a passion for nonogram puzzles. Nini has provided you with a cozy rat residence, but there’s just one condition: you must solve Squeakross puzzles to earn furniture and fill your empty home! Your puzzle catalog contains 650 solvable Squeakross puzzles. Each completed puzzle will reward you with furniture for your rodent residence. The hint numbers on the sides indicate how many squares to fill with cheese in each row or column. Mark the largest hint numbers, leaving spaces as needed. Then, analyze different arrangements to complete the puzzle. Strike out hint lines one by one and repeat the process until the picture of your brand-new furniture is revealed!
Get Solving!
If you haven’t solved a nonogram before, don’t worry! In Squeakross, anyone can quickly become a nonogram natural. Nini provides in-game guidance to help players learn how to solve nonograms step by step, and players can revisit the manual at any time for additional tutorials. Whether you are a whisker away from solving a puzzle or looking for a more relaxed experience, you can ask your furry friend for assistance in Logic Assist mode. This feature shows possible solutions to help complete puzzles with two options: An “automatic case-solving” button and a “show mistakes” button. For experienced nonogram players seeking a greater challenge, “Nini’s Challenge” offers a more difficult variant of each puzzle, unlocking colorways for furniture in your home. To ensure an inclusive experience, Squeakross also incorporates many gameplay options for players to tweak their own experience and overall difficulty of puzzles!
Fur-nish your dream home!
Decorate your space to your heart’s content with unlockable 3D furniture models. Even in the demo, get a head start on personalizing your home using matching wallpapers, carpets, chairs, and more. You can make your rodent uniquely yours by selecting from various fur colors, patterns, tail lengths, ear sizes, and costumes. After all your hard work, sit back and enjoy watching your rodent friend in action!
