Indie duo Alblune, creators of The Spirit and the Mouse, have announced that a demo for their upcoming cozy puzzler, Squeakross: Home Squeak Home, will be available on December 6 for Steam, Mac, and Steam Deck. This demo offers players an early look at the delightful blend of nonogram puzzles and home decoration ahead of the game’s full release.
In Squeakross: Home Squeak Home, you play as a clever mouse who needs to turn an empty house into a comfy home. With the help of Nini, a friendly mouse who loves puzzles, you solve challenges to unlock furniture and decorations. Each puzzle you complete reveals a new item, slowly changing the empty space into a cozy place to live.
The game is made for both new and experienced players of nonograms. It offers step-by-step tutorials and a helpful Logic Assist Mode for beginners, while skilled players can take on tougher challenges to unlock different furniture colors. Even in the demo, you can customize a mouse’s home with 35 themed furniture pieces and change your mouse’s look by choosing different fur colors, tail styles, and accessories using the Rodent Editor.
