But you’ll need your wits to unravel the museum’s many layers of mystery, and to capture the evil entities, the Ixupi, before they get you first. If you’ve played an adventure game before, Shivers might be designed a little differently than what you’re used to. It’s only linear in structure until you get into the museum — once inside, you can roam at will. It doesn’t matter in what order you see the rooms of the museum. And you’ll never get stuck! Something else that might seem different about Shivers is the function of the cursor. We thought that it would be too easy if the cursor highlighted all the clues. So it’s up to you to click on everything if you expect to unravel the museum’s myster- ies—the cursor won’t give away the fact that you may be only inches from an evil entity, or anything else! This User Guide is divided into sections. Playing the Game answers questions about the toolbar, the object of the game, scoring, and inventory. The Walkthrough leads you through the first part of the game, nudging you toward puzzle solu- tions without giving them away. The solutions themselves are printed upside down for those who need them. The hints scat- tered throughout the User Guide will give clues to the game.
