I finally found a way to record the Shivers games. There was an odd issue when I was capturing the game - every time it went to a cut scene (like the opening of Shivers 1 with the other people on the other side of the gate) - the screen would go completely black and it'd just be the audio. (No idea why that would happen...) But finally found a way around it. So after Freddy Pharkas, I think I am going to give Shivers a swing. I've only ever played Shivers 1 and 2, once each, to my memory. So it will be interesting to go back to them and see what I remember. I remember it being similar to Myst in how it worked (clicking forward and such to move about) - but there's something in the first one that is... chasing you?... and you have that slide thing of health.... from what I remember.

Not quite chasing you. There are spirits that hide in various places. If you approach one, it will injure you.

Ah! I just recall the voice in the beginning - so I assumed it was one spirit - the guy that the kids talk about in the intro of Shivers 1.

Shivers 2 I remember less about. I remember you're the friend of someone in a band or some such. I definitely remember a band. :D

There is a band. The Youtuber MetalJesusRocks worked at Sierra starting as an accountant and was part of the band.
