Description
What Darkness Conceals, Terror Reveals
Mystery sounds through the haunted halls and rings from the rafters of a deserted museum. Was this a failed dream or was it the waking nightmare of an eccentric old man? Where is the museum's creator, and the other ill-fated visitors who disappeared so long ago?
You enter, with nothing but your wits to help you survive. Wretched spirits watch for the innocent, the unwary, ready to steal your life's essence. Can you hear the shrieks now, the howls and moans and wails? They're waiting for you.

Loving the nostalgia!
I loved this game in college in the 90s and have thought about it a surprising number of times since, and am so glad to have the ability to play it again! It's creepy, challenging, and has great music throughout.

Enjoyable trip back to 90s nostalgia
Shivers is a great game that I'm glad to have found once again after playing it on a friends computer back in the 90s. Premise is a bit overdone by todays standards and without a manual showing the pots/lids it can be a little tricky figuring out which pairings go together. It also unfortunately suffers from the typical backtracking found in older point and click adventures. However, the gameplay itself is engaging, challenging and always worth replaying as pot and lid locations randomise for each new game. The music is immersive in a strangely haunting and surreal way that adds to the tension of the location. All in all I would recommend Shivers to anyone that wants to relive a classic 90s point and click adventure game.

Shivers and Myst
Been meaning to beat this game since at LEAST 1998... It still holds up! The music brings back a lot of nostalgia for my childhood personally.
