Shiver

Shiver is a beautiful and chilling point-and-click horror adventure from Kowai Sugoi Studios. As you explore the recently closed Windy Oaks National Park, you must rely on your wits and bravery to conquer challenges and search for rescue. Spanning the course of one captivating hour, you will attempt to unravel the mysteries of the park and escape with your body intact.

Set in the early 1990s, before mobile phones and the Internet, you are traveling to visit your aging father in a remote retirement home when your journey takes a dark turn. Stranded inside Windy Oaks, a park founded on land donated by the Samstone Mining Company after a catastrophic sinkhole accident, you must find a way to contact help and make it out alive. The environment itself feels alive, resisting your efforts as you press toward safety.
