Shivers 1995

Is it still worth playing?

A deserted museum rings with mystery: Professor Windlenot's Museum of the Strange and Unusual, in Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, has stood shut for fifteen years since the Ixupi, spirits, were let out of their ceramic vessels, and you are inside it to put them back, in this 1995 adventure for Windows, with a Mac version in 1996. It was the first first person adventure from its publisher. You point and click through the rooms and solve what is in them, with one rule of its own: the inventory holds one thing, a vessel, a lid or the two joined, so catching a spirit means finding the right pieces and carrying them back one at a time. A sequel followed in 1997. The one slot still makes every capture a trip across the haunted museum with your hands full.
