One of my all time favorite point and click adventure games. I am so excited to finally find it on GoG, I wish I would've checked earlier! Creepy game full of mysteries and puzzles from start to finish! Can't wait to play through this again! I would recommend playing with headphones, the noises and music are amazing in my opinion.
Haven't downloaded this version yet cause earlier this year I bought a shivers cd off amazon and dosbox'd it. I'm so glad to see this finally get to GOG and high hopes for the second game of this to come out.
Puzzler game. I loved the music and atmosphere of it. The FMV acting was a little cheesy. So were the Inuxi (evil spirits) that attack you in game. I loved it as a kid and it is a bit cheesy but nostalgic as an adult. I'm going to add this to my GOG collection so I can pull it out to play on the rare occasion.
Ah, one of my favorite Sierra titles of all time. Panaias has a solid review and is right on track. This game builds wonderful and creepy atmosphere. You play as a young adult dared to spend the night in an abandoned museum built by Profession "Windle-nut" as he is called, a crazy anthroplogist obsessed with providing evidence for his conspiracy and alt-earth theories.
Well, the museum does indeed become haunted, as you will discover, and you must capture the creatures to survive the night. This game still has wonderful graphics and brooding music. The monster animations are laughably bad (especially on modern computers, they are animated too quickly), but the idea and the theme music of the creatures (when you get too close) are very creepy. There are some randomly-generated jump scares thrown in (very tame), but I love the insinuations of what happened to the unfortunate souls who traversed the museum before you did.
PRO-GAME PLAYERS: how many of you caught the clue about Beth in the logo of the game? Look closely at that eye and you'll see what I mean...
Lots of "facts" in the game (real facts thrown in with bizarre theories people actually believe) and interesting things to discover. The puzzles are smart (except for the dreaded "solitaire-style" puzzle that Sierra overuses; and the terrible pinball-puzzle) and are challenging enough to have replay value.
I've been asking for this game on GOG for a decade and I'm excited it's here. Keep your eyes out for the sequel which is also a heap of fun, but completely unrelated to this title. Turn the lights off, the music way off, and prepare for some creepy atmosphere!
This is definitely the most outstanding adverture games I ever played.
Full of mysteries, with rich story lines and interesting puzzles.
It finally uncovers the secrets step by step with interesting and convincing details.
I am looking forward to the 3rd edition, however, looks like adverture game is not the public
main stream always. Less attention being paid to the most excellent games, what a pity ! though
Title says it all. This game puts the player at the center of a narrative that is driven entirely by the creepy vibes its environment creates. It's a scary, lonely place that only gets more gripping as the storylines unfold. The deeper you dive, the better it gets. This is truly a horror adventure.
