Description

Shivers Two: Harvest of Souls takes place in a deserted town named Cyclone in the southwest. You arrive to discover that your friends, the band Trip Cyclone, have mysteriously disappeared. Although, they left clues imbedded in their music videos for you decipher so that you may discover what happened to them, as well as the rest of the town.

The game is similar to the first Shivers in that it has the same first-person slideshow interface, but much has improved from the first. Now, you can rotate 360 degrees in your current position as well as have a full inventory instead only being able to hold one item like in the first game. The game also includes a puzzle editor and a feature in which you can chat with others while you play the game.

Trivia

Music

The second CD contains not only the soundtrack to the game (featuring songs by the band Trip Cyclone) but also a medley of the soundtrack from Shivers.

One of the band members in Trip Cyclone is played by Jason Lindsey who is now known for his retro gaming YouTube channel MetalJesusRocks.

Predecessor

Despite having a completely different plot, setting, characters, etc. than its predecessor, the game does contain a small reference to it. In the library, a book written by Hubert Windlenot, the professor from the original game, can be found.
