I loved this game. The theme tune is actually belonging to Tomb Raider Underworld, so for all you Lara fans...The characters look real, the story interesting and scenes were clear and hidd obj scenes were organized. This is a game I'd play across the platforms.

A game similar to this was: Voodoo Whisperer Curse of a Legend, and Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek

I recommend this game!

Good game. Got it for $2.99 and it was worth full price. Not too much running around to find clues. Surprise ending. I was a little concerned that not enough light for the HO but finally noticed I could use the flash lite. Worth buying. Not a hard game at all.

I recommend this game!

Shiver: Vanishing Hitchhiker is a hidden object adventure game. The story centers around trying to locate a mysterious hitchhiker. The graphics are beautiful, the story is creepy and engaging, and the gameplay is enjoyable.

There are two difficulty settings for the game, and I played on the advanced difficulty mode. The puzzles were interesting, and a few were unique, but none were very challenging. I really liked the graphics of this game, and the story kept me riveted. I completed the game in around three hours, without skipping any puzzles, so I'd say it's average length. Even on the advanced difficulty mode there were some sparkles hinting that there was an area that needed to be examined closely.

Overall, I really enjoyed this game. Show less

I recommend this game!

Really, really good. Wasnt sure at first as two of the HO scenes were hard to see, but they got better, and the little flashlight was most helpful. The thunder was so realistic that I actually jumped every time I heard it! Nice story, too. Try it, you'll like it.

I recommend this game!

Our family LOVED this game. It had all the components we enjoy...made us jump, kept us in suspense, and the storyline hooked us from the beginning. Great visual effects/scare factor.

I recommend this game!

Scary - well in parts, it was. Suspenseful - definitely! A very good HO and adventure game. I wanted to complete it to find out what happened. Liked the ending too! Creepy or what?

Graphics are good enough to keep you hunting and trying to move on. I liked the fact that you have to use your imagination and try things to solve the puzzles and gain the next thing you need. some very interesting use of objects but none too off the wall to disarm the player.
I really liked it... is there a sequel? Show less

I have never written a review before but I felt compelled to to write this one. I loved this game and I have played a lot of HOS games. I do not like being scared or scary movies, but I have to say this one had me jumping at unexpected places throughout the story but I kept playing. I "shivered".

It was a blast for me. I just made it a point not to play alone in the dark. :)

I don't know the protocol for writing these reviews but I would definitely recommend this game. I liked the HOS and the variety of games that were included. The story line kept my attention which usually doesn't happen.

Well that is my two cents. Keep 'em coming Big Fish. Show less

I recommend this game!

This one has a great story, and it is told without losing focus. The visuals are suitable for the kind of story it is and put you in the mood. There are no flourishes of the kind that distract you. You just HAVE to find out what is happening, and what the mystery is. The flow is easy to keep and there are some spooky surprises (a room where the exit leads not outside but to a room upstairs..)

This one has a great story, and it is told without losing focus. The visuals are suitable for the kind of story it is and put you in the mood. There are no flourishes of the kind that distract you. You just HAVE to find out what is happening, and what the mystery is. The flow is easy to keep and there are some spooky surprises (a room where the exit leads not outside but to a room upstairs..) The minigames and the HOS are very much in keeping with the tone of the story (and having sometimes to look using the flashlight makes it more spooky still).

Great game! Show less
