Unprecedented Atmospheric Horror
This is one of the most immersive and atmospheric games I've ever played. As an interactive fiction experience, it's amazing how well this holds up after 24 years. Top-notch storytelling!

Enjoyable for its time
This is a review based on memory when first playing through it. I have not played it recently to comment if it has stood the test of time. The most memorable part of the game is the music, still sing parts to this day. The original CD was also an audio disc with all the songs. (spoiler... Maybe) And the fact the songs play a role in the game is great, even if it took too long to figure that out. The puzzles aren't memorable, but much more accessible, than say Riven, for me at the time. Full 360 was a great experience over Riven (before Exile) and is helpful to the immersion. The health is harmful to the game experience.

A very good sequel
It is a Sierra game, so it has to be good. And it is. But it is hard to follow the best game of all time in Shivers I. It begins to rely more on the live video animation, but is not as committed as, say, Gabriel Knight 3 or Phantasmagoria. It is successful in delivering the creepy effect and does a great job of tying in the theme of having to connect puzzles in order to progress. If you liked Shivers I, you should also enjoy this game immensely. Just don't have expectations for the same level of greatness, because it doesn't exit.

Beware the Cave!
I would have rated this game higher if it didn't have a health meter and if the items collected were labeled. I went through most of the game thinking that the gum was Himalayan salt. Also, the life sucking petroglyphs in the cave was ridiculous. I must have died three or four times before locating the correct symbol. Here's what you should do every time you find a staff: 1) Don't pick it up; just save. 2) Go to the cave, locate the symbol, and mark what section it's in. The layout of the cave is section 1, room, section 2, room, and section 3. The symbol will be on the wall of one of these sections. 4) Once you locate the symbol, pick up the staff and go as quick as possible to the section containing the symbol. 5) Click on the symbol and save. 6) Solve the symbol and save. 7) Run to the temple and insert the staff. And what every you do, make sure the symbols match! Now for the positives: I really like the story, the backstory, and the variety of puzzles. The graphics have improved from Shivers and the music is good. If only this game could be remade to fix the cave issue. Sigh!
