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.
  • Experience spine-tingling first-person adventure.
  • Unravel a mysterious storyline full of twists and turns.
  • Witness ghostly live-action video sequences.
  • Explore a world filled with bizarre 3-D imagery.
  • Startle your senses with chilling music and eerie sound effects.
  • Roam at will throughout the museum - non-linear game play lets you re-visit puzzles that have stumped you.
  • Play again and again - location of items change and puzzles vary each time!

Best game ever!

Only took 10 hours to play all the way through the first time. I love this game. Really brings back my child hood. The creepy music and sound effects were just as I remembered them. Great quality graphics for it's time. Thanks GOG!

Finally!!!!!

I have been waiting for GOG to add this game for years!! This is one of my all time favorite Sierra games. The atmosphere is creepy, the puzzles challenging, and I love the music especially when you are about to find an Ixupi. Thank you GOG...keep those Sierra games coming

Great point and click puzzler

This game sure takes me back to fighting with my siblings to get computer time to play. On the heels of the Myst craze, Sierra created this absolute gem of an atmospheric puzzle game. You're trapped inside a crazy museum, and have to trap released spirits by finding a matching vessel and lid. Each one of these spirits embody a different element (earth, fire, electricity, ash, water, etc.) and have to be trapped by the vessels you collect. But bewaaaAAAArrrre!!! (Said in cheesy horror movie voice) These spirits can travel to different locations in the museum and also take a portion of your lifeforce if you attempt to trap them without the proper vessel. I found the game really scary as a 9 year old, but when I replayed it a few years ago it wasn't as scary as my childhood brain thought it was... however that doesn't diminish from the great soundtrack and beautifully rendered (for the time) environments. It's a little weird having the environments rendered in 3D and the spirits animated in 2D, but I didn't mind that during the replay due to all the nostalgia. That's probably the only inconsistent visual thing with the game. As far as gameplay goes, you will be tested. There are a wide variety of puzzles, however there is never any kind of time pressure put on you, so take as long as you like. Most of the puzzles are fairly easy, but every so often there will be some doozies, plus a couple ones at the end that will take some mental fortitude to pass... which is generally how I like it, so you're not stumped the whole game, but also feel a sense of accomplishment at the end. Because you are limited to carry one vessel/lid combo at a time, you will have to backtrack through the museum, but eventually you will open doors and shortcuts to make this process easier. If you're looking for a 10-20 hour puzzle adventure with a cheesy horror vibe and artistic environment, Shivers is your game.

Amazing classic puzzle game.

Amazing classic game. To see it on GOG was a pure pleasure. So many painful hours were spent trying to get my old version to work on my new PC. This game is one of the first games that introduced me to adventure games, and i am happy it was that way. what a beautiful experience that was!! This game is fun , atmospheric and very engaging game for puzzle lovers. Some of the puzzles will certainly be a challenge "I am looking at you Chinese box puzzle" ,But all in all the game is not that hard to beat. Engaging story , beautiful music & gorgeous watercolor backgrounds made it one of my favorite adventure games . If you like 7th guest , you gonna love this.
