Wholesome Direct 2025: Squeakross: Home Squeak Home

Developed and published by Alblune, Squeakross: Home Squeak Home is a relaxing picross title where players get to play as a little customisable rodent. As they ace the various nonogram puzzles, they'll unlock furniture and accessories! But don't worry if you're not good at them — the title is made to be relaxing and stress-free: no time pressure, and in-game help (such as hints) will keep it so. These can also be disabled for those who don't want them!

If you'd like to learn more about the game, I had an interview with the developer a while back! I recommend checking it out if you want some insight on what went on behind the scenes with this cosy title.

Otherwise, here's what you can expect from Squeakross: Home Squeak Home:

• Relaxing, no-pressure gameplay (help can be disabled, too).
• Customisable rodent.
• Nonogram/picross puzzles to solve.
• Unlock furniture by completing puzzles.
• Unlockable stickers created by Eon.
• Lore that can be learned about in-game from Nini.
• Streamer mode (which turns off Content ID-tagged music).

Want to create your rodent already? Well, Squeakross: Home Squeak Home is available now on Nintendo Switch, itch.io, and Steam, as it shadow dropped during the Wholesome Direct 2025!
