Possible rose tint to this one...

First off I start by saying this was one of the games that came with my first PC in the mid 90s and I have a lot of fond memories of being huddled around this game with my friends trying to solve puzzles and work my way through the game. Buying this game all these years later (as I never completed it the first time around) I worried my memories of the game wouldn't hold up. They did....at least for the most part. The graphics haven't aged at all well, however I still have a fondness for them that probably boils down to nostalgia. The music however is still fantastic and is what gives the game its sense of atmosphere. The puzzles are largely logical and well thought out, although I admit I had to look up a guide due to the sheer frustration of the puzzle involving flicking coloured balls into their respective slots. The few cut scenes that you will find in the game are all super cheesy in the best way. There are a few frustrations early on, such as having to solve a not overly fun puzzle every time you want to get in an elevator but as you open up more and more of the doors and shortcuts you should find you can stop using elevators almost entirely and will be speeding around the museum in no time at all. For less than $5 I'd say you should get a few hours of puzzle based fun out of it, even if you then never play it again as it doesn't have a massive amount of replay value if I'm honest.

One of Sierra’s best!

I have been waiting a WHILE for this to finally be put on GOG. I have the original CD for both 1 and 2 and setting up a DOS Box is a pain! Thank you for adding this gem to your store and hope to see 2 on here soon!

A Darkly Shimmering Jewel of a Game

Shivers was one of the first PC games I got back in the 90s, and I loved it.. While it was never a scary game, the title suited it well....because it gave you a serious case of the willies. The abandoned museum in which we are trapped overnight is such a joy to explore, because it's not stuffy art or dulled down history. It's "Professor Windlenot's Museum of the Strange and Unusual" . Exploring the dozens of cavernous rooms brimming with bizarre yet wonderful exhibits is a ghoulish sweet treat for the puzzle loving mind. I also loved the lush score for the game. Every room in the ,museum had its own unique theme that played while you're inside them. Every one of those loops of music managed to transport you ,not just into another room, but to an entirely world with an entirely different set of puzzles and pitfalls . And yet as evocative as each song was, the underlying feeling you got while listening to them was distinctly melancholy, which in turn adds to the profound sense of loneliness and loss that follows you throughout this most bizarre night. Oh, did I forget to mention that you're not alone in there? Ok, see, while the museum has been closed for years, it was never unoccupied. Because it's now filled with demons. And if you can't exorcise every single nasty creep out of the place by dawn, you're never going home. Ever.

Nearly perfect. Stands the test of time.

This is the pinnacle of what an adventure game should be. It's atmospheric, full of great puzzles, has an unfolding story, immersive, an excellent location to explore and most important, it's fun! Most of my searches for new adventure games begin with a Google of "games like Shivers". Most don't come close. There's just something about it that allows it to overcome all it's shortcomings and shine. It's a bit dated in some areas but I'm currently playing it with my 9 year old son and it still plays incredibly well. He and i are really into it and it's scary enough he refuses to enter certain rooms inside the museum. The demons are rendered as bad as I remembered them (think cartoons) which was the only major shortcoming of the game. If they had nailed the animations this would by far be the best game I have ever played. The fact they could miss on such an important aspect of the game and it still be a resounding win says it all.
