Deadly exhibits.

Shivers, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com.
Acting on a dare that you took to shut up your stupid friends, you find yourself spending the night inside a spooky museum, hunting down a bunch of escaped spirits that don't like your face one bit. A classic first-person adventure from masters of the genre Sierra On-Line made to chill and kill, if you're not careful.
Loved this game growing up, Saw it on here and had to buy. Thanks!
Glad I found this game. I have it on CD-ROM, and was able to get it to install on every machine except my current one, running Windows 10. Missed my routine visits to Professor Windlenot's Museum of the Strange and Unusual.

Absolutely LOVE being able to play Shivers again! My mother and I spent hours chasing the Ixupi around the museum when I was a kid. We used to compete to see who would beat it first. I missed not being able to play it after I had to purchase a computer with Windows 10, so having it again has been a blast! I hope Shivers 2: Harvest of Souls is being upgraded to work on Windows 10 and will be available soon too. We were never able to finish it because the computer we had when I was young was not fast enough for us to run Shivers 2 very well.

Nice release. I second everyone else in hoping we get the sequel here some day as well. :)

(Yes, all, I know this thread is old...I figured i'd reply a bit though as the thread was bumped before I posted & I am a HUGE FAN of the series.)

_ChaosFox_: There was literally no way to get this running on a modern PC otherwise.
I forget how, but I think I had it running on Windows 7 years back, so it wasn't impossible, just difficult as hell....still, it is nice they have it here now(and that SCUMM can play it)

BTW does anyone here know if the sequel ALSO runs now in SCUMMVM?

XYCat: Is this game good?
It's not good....it's FRICKING AWESOME. :D

Darvond: This looks entirely like a mid 90s adventure game.

To which I mean, I wish anyone brave enough to play this, Good Luck.
This was/is one of those games, though, that is very "atmospheric"(and yes, it lives up to that term, unlike some other games)...so much so that one wants to finish it despite the flaws. :)

pmcollectorboy: Random factoid. There is a crate in this game that says "Is alright? Is alright." when clicked on twice.
Which one/which room? Near the start in the professor's office storerroom?

pmcollectorboy: The storytelling is dumb, but that's only a minor quibble. I don't remember if there were notes or audio logs scattered about, but most of what you would call narrative is in the beginning where your badly acted teen friends dare you to spend a night in the haunted museum and then at the end when you beat the game. The real meat of the game is in puzzle solving.
I LOVED the silly storytelling, and thought it B-movie like(dunno if that makes sense) and the right kinds of hokey.

Shanbar: "What darkness conceals, terror reveals."
That narrator as well....quite apropos for the game/setting....often I skip the audio part of dialog once I read the text but this game & it's narrator VA made me listen to every line. :)

Nice to hear....hopefully you won't get a C&D letter from the rights holders & they'll allow it to come to completion, and also that the project will succeed(far too many such projects fail over time, sadly).

Best of luck. :)
