Plot

Because of a bet made friends with the protagonist must spend a whole night in the museum of Professor Windlenot abandoned, never opened to the public in the past where two teenagers have disappeared. Exploring this impressive building, the protagonist will encounter at some point in the ghost of Professor Windlenot, who also died in strange circumstances in his own museum, and find that it is infested with ten elemental demons, called Ixupi. These wicked demons have the power to suck the lifeblood from those who stumble upon them, leaving at the end of a decomposing body. The player will be able to seal them forever in ten amulets, trying to survive.

Gameplay

Shivers is unlike any other adventure game published by Sierra, for many reasons. First of all, there is no inventory system, because your character can carry only an amulet at a time. In addition, it has a pre-set amount of health at the beginning of the game, which decreases every time it is attacked by a Ixupi without the amulet needed to capture it. When his health runs out, the game ends with the hero's death. There are many objects in the museum where you can interact with, and as many puzzles to solve in order to proceed. Each amulet needed to capture a Ixupi consists of a container and a lid, which are hidden throughout the museum and change their position every time you start a new game (ploy that allows the replay value of the title). Each time the player finds a useful clue to solving a puzzle, you unlock a "flashback" in the pause menu that allows you to review it whenever you want. There is a score that increases every time you solve a puzzle, you read a text, we observe an object and, of course, you catch a Ixupi.
Given the moderate success was developed a following, Shivers 2: Harvest of Souls.

Walkthrough

The overall strategy

You can have in your inventory, only one subject. When you find a plate or a talisman, it becomes the sole. Pay close attention to where each dish or the talisman. If you exchange the newly discovered object to the one that was carried before, or will transfer closer things found far away, your notes will be useful.
Shivers titleYou can always notice the approach Iksupi - they create a unique sound. If you shave off quickly, it will remain intact.

Turn left - see the dragon gargoyle. The chain opens it - inside you will find a letter. Read it. When the letter fall to the ground, note the number in the dragon's mouth.
Go up until you reach a locked door. The box on the right drawled nasally that the museum is closed. Remember the mark on top of the doors and their colors. When you go down, get another set of marks to the right of the purple vase.
Do you need other input, so go down the path to the veranda. Find another set of marks and colors for tall items. Go behind the arch and get the fourth set of marks for a triangular stone. Go back to the side of the arch. Locate the mark on the bench. By the time you reach the front porch, you should have five sets of marks. Go to the very end of the path to find traces.
