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.
