Shivers is a first-person puzzle adventure set in an abandoned museum filled with ancient vessels whose evil spirits now roam free. You're trapped inside Professor Windlenot's Museum of the Strange and Unusual after accepting a dare, and your goal is to locate scattered vessel pieces and recapture each spirit before they drain your life. The museum's rooms are locked behind environmental puzzles—mechanical contraptions, symbol codes, and logic challenges that gate your progress through galleries and exhibits. Spirits hunt you as you explore, creating time pressure. The game uses pre-rendered 3D environments you navigate via point-and-click, examining objects and noting clues in your journal. Solving puzzles opens new areas where more vessel fragments and spirits wait. Success means pairing every spirit with its correct container before your health runs out.
