Shivers is a Survival Horror Point-and-Click computer game published by Sierra On-Line, released in 1995.The story centers around a Featureless Protagonist who is sent on a Test of Courage into Professor Windlenot's Museum of the Strange and Unusual. You soon discover, however, that the museum is haunted by the Ixupi, evil spirits that suck away the life force of those around them. Fifteen years before your arrival, the eccentric Professor Windlenot was hard at work on his museum when two teenagers snuck inside and accidentally released the evil Ixupi. Neither of the teenagers or the Professor himself have been seen since that night. In order to survive your own night trapped inside the museum, you must find the Soul Jars for each spirit and seal each one into its proper container.The game is heavy on puzzle gameplay, and many of the puzzles are surprisingly difficult. These range from Enter Solution Here to Guide Dang It!. Mercifully, the game introduces a "flashback" feature rarely seen in other adventure games. Whenever you come across a code or a solution to a puzzle, the game will store the solution as a "memory" to help avoid backtracking and note taking.A sequel titled Shivers Two: Harvest of Souls was released in 1997. It is set in the same world, but does not continue the story of Shivers.Not to be confused with the classic David Cronenberg film of the same name. | |

Live-Action Cutscene: The game begins and ends with live-action cutscenes of your "friends" locking you on the museum grounds and arriving to find you, respectively. There are also three ghost scenes that use live actors, as well as Windlenot's film used to open the door to the Subterranean World. | |

Easter Egg | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: And how. Some of them are random events that are triggered by you walking around. Some involve clicking things repeatedly or in a specific order. They seem to fall into two categories: terrifying, and hilarious. The jukebox in the clock tower contains a few songs from the deluxe version of Mixed-Up Mother Goose, which Shivers composer Guy Whitmore did the music for. | |

Bottomless Bladder: There is only one toilet in the entire museum, and it's all the way upstairs, past a handful of puzzles. Windlenot has a bedroom in one of the museum's towers, accessible only by elevator, and he lives there full time. If he ever had to pee, he'd spend twenty minutes just getting to the bathroom. | |

Cobweb Jungle: Subverted. No one has set foot in the museum for fifteen years, and yet almost everything works perfectly, like the lights, the electricity, the puzzles, and the security cameras. The dead bodies and some songs on the jukebox are the only things that show their age. Floors are still shiny, the water lines are still active, and there's not a cobweb or speck of dust on anything. Even the bodies are a little suspect: Windlenot and Merrick look pretty good for being dead so long. | |

Bragging Rights Reward | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c | comment |
Bragging Rights Reward: After you beat the game, you get the opportunity to walk through the museum without fear of being killed by spirits. Also, completing the hated "red door" puzzle only opens the door between the Gods and the Myths & Legends exhibits; It makes getting around the museum slightly easier, but both of these exhibits can be accessed through other rooms, so it's more than possible to finish the game without solving it. | |

Chekhov's Exhibit | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_560e7bc5 | comment |
Chekhov's Exhibit: In the main hall one of the first displays you see is that of a prized jade skull, which is said to be one of the largest jade items in the world. However, the glass is shattered and the skull is nowhere to be seen. You do indeed find it later, next to the body of Merrick. He took it to use as a weapon. It turns out that there was a jade Ixupi, and Merrick died because he had the object in his possession. Jade is the Ixupi that ultimately claims the last of his life essense and his spirit is found inside jade's pot. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Two teenagers and the eccentric, well-known creator of the town's running joke go missing in the same day. Merrick has spent his last weeks trying to find out anything he can about the Professor. Clearly the disappearances are linked, but it seems that the museum was never searched. Its security is nonexistent. For fifteen years no one heard a word from Windlenot, or about the fate of the museum, and no one thought it was worth poking around EVEN A LITTLE BIT? There's no telling if the police would have solved the puzzles and found the bodies, but there's nothing to suggest they even TRIED. | |

Ominous Music Box Tune: The Fortune Teller room. The songs on the jukebox in the clock tower. Although they were recorded innocently, some of the songs have deteriorated and sound creepy.

Turn Out Like His Father | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_5cd6010b | comment |
Turn Out Like His Father: Something that Windlenot's wife, Mary Elizabeth, fears. You find a scathing letter from her "advising" (read: threatening) Hubert to cease all contact with their son Geoffrey. Hubert is an embarrassment to his family because of his eccentricity and his single-minded drive in the seemingly hopeless task of building his museum. Hubert does stop contacting Geoffrey... but not because of his wife's letter. | |

Starter Villain: Downplayed with the Ash Ixupi. The pot and lid intended to capture it are always in the same places in every game and are both in the general area where the player starts out once they get into the museum, so it's nearly always the player's first target. It's also always in Windlenot's fireplace in the office where the player enters the museum, so it's likely the second ixupi that the player runs into (the water one being the first). | |

Guide Dang It!: The "red door" puzzle is one of the hardest in the game. The "Chinese Checkers" puzzle is exceptionally tedious - you have to do more than thirty very exact moves, and you can't undo one if you realize you've messed up, only start over. Master Mind is extremely difficult, especially if you don't have a head for numbers. | |

Convenient Cranny: Subverted, in that the crannies turn out not to be so convenient. Merrick hides inside a hollow lion, but because he is clutching the jade skull he is killed anyway. Beth hides in the basement wall but she is eventually caught by fire. Windlenot is seen in the underground cavern, but the walls are made of stone and it is stone that kills him; With the last of his strength, he draws the symbol of the Ixupinote It's never referred to as the symbol of the Ixupi, but it's found in multiple places in the Tomb of the Ixupi and is on the cover of the Black Book which tells the legend of the Ixupi. | |

Horrifying the Horror: Reuniting each pot with its lid and capturing the Ixupi is very unpleasant for them, and they will scream horribly when you manage to seal them away. | |

Hearing Voices | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_7bc90010 | comment |
Hearing Voices: All over the place. In the Theater, you can hear indistinct oratory (lines from the play Hamlet) and applause. In the "Man's Inhumanity to Man" exhibit, there are angry mob yells and distorted screams. The puzzle room has a tortured-sounding man saying things like "get away from meeeeee!". The service corridors and the Underground exhibit have screams for help woven into the soundtrack. | |

Developing Doomed Characters | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_7f390ebc | comment |
Developing Doomed Characters: To some extent. The characters have been dead for fifteen years, but the museum is littered with their personal belongings: a planner, report card, letters, photographs, diaries, voice recordings, video recordings, and, of course, their interactions with you when you release them from the pots they've been trapped in. We find out a lot about Windlenot's tragic personal life, Beth's poor performance in school and her crush on Merrick, and Merrick's fascination with getting into the museum. | |

Backtracking | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_8d2f6f03 | comment |
Backtracking: Loads. There are ten Ixupi and each pot has two components, so the player will often find the two parts of a pot in completely different sections of the museum. Once the pot has been assembled there are multiple locations for each Ixupi, some of them very far apart, so if you don't run into the Ixupi at one location you have to visit the others. And there's no guarantee that after checking one location, the Ixupi doesn't move back to it. | |

Rule of Scary: Many of the Easter eggs. The only things in the museum that can harm you (and are alive and moving around) are the Ixupi, and yet you can see glowing eyes accompanied by a hiss, and multiple instances of human-like shadows moving across the wall. They are still very shocking, of course, but their presence doesn't make a lot of sense in context. | |

Possibly Beth's family as well. From her progress report, we find Rachel Nelson (her mother) is the custodial parent. From Beth's notes to Marianne we learn that to raise Beth's grade, her mother has no issue with flirting with Beth's student advisor (whom Rachel used to date); Beth expects this will be enough for her to pass. From her address book, we also find out that her mother has held a series of menial labour type jobs (three crossed out and one current at a tavern). Also from her address book, we find out that her parents are divorced and her father is remarried; Beth refers to her father's wife, Sylvie, as "the wicked stepmother". | |

No Romantic Resolution: Merrick doesn't think too much of Beth (he does mention she's kind of cute), but he still takes her with him to the museum. Beth has a major crush on him, but there is zero implication that he ever felt anything strongly for her (aside from his anguished inquiries about her fate when you release his spirit, though that seems to be more about regret for bringing her into this mess). They split up after the Ixupi are released, and though they help each other by leaving notes, they ultimately die far away from one another. It doesn't look like Beth ever even told him how she felt. | |

Adrenaline Makeover: Beth is written as a foolish sort of girl with a crush on Merrick. She slacks off in school and writes silly notes to friends during class. However, despite being trapped in the museum and scared out of her mind, Beth starts solving puzzles and leaving messages for Merrick. She tells you that she "almost solved the final riddle". It is shown that she is very smart at math and physics, but doesn't often apply herself in school. | |

Schmuck Bait | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: A point-and-click adventure player's natural instinct is to click on everything on screen to see if anything activates. In Shivers, clicking willy-nilly on random objects is a good way to get a face-full of Ixupi. | |

Non-Fatal Explosions | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_d3e9483a | comment |
Non-Fatal Explosions: You're standing a few feet away from an enormous power generator which then blows up so spectacularly that it destroys a whole section of the wall, revealing the museum grounds. You haven't got a scratch, of course. | |

Evil Elevator | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_e1223d07 | comment |
Evil Elevator: Subverted. The elevator music is jaunty and hilariously incongruous to the rest of the game. It even turned up in Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh. | |

That Was the Last Entry | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_e33e4e8 | comment |
That Was the Last Entry: Merrick's diary in particular, but also Windlenot's, as he discusses Beth and Merrick. Merrick's last entries are written from inside the museum, in a panic, and he says something to the effect of, "I'm going to hide in here! They'll never find me!" | |

Featureless Protagonist: Not exactly genderless, as the few times the player character speaks, it's with a distinctly male voice. | |

Barred from the Afterlife | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_e7f9c214 | comment |
Barred from the Afterlife: This is the final fate of Prof. Windlenot, Merrick and Beth. The Ixupi are attacking you not only to consume your life essence, but to switch you into their vessels so they can escape into the world. Conversely, the player character can release imprisoned souls. | |

Bookcase Passage: In the library, there is a secret pot compartment revealed by pulling out a book. There is also an opening in the back which reveals the hallway to the power plant, although it is not hidden when you find it. | |

Jerkass: Your "friends." They lock you in the place, then nonchalantly talk about the kids that disappeared in the museum and how "they never found the bodies." Real funny, guys. Thanks a lot. And, at the very end, the newspaper announces that "four teenagers" were the first on the scene. They bullied you into staying the night...and then took all the credit! | |

The Darkness Gazes Back | |
| Shivers (Video Game) / int_f8604a3c | comment |
The Darkness Gazes Back: Sometimes, when returning from the Subterranean World to the Main Entry Hall via a secret passage, you can see sparkly red eyes and hear a growl. While common theory assumes it's an Ixupi that can't properly manifest, it remains unknown what exactly this is supposed to be. | |
