About the Game


Get ready for the most spine-chillingly exhilarating adventure game! A classic point and click retro adventure PC Gaming Worlds “Highly Recommended”.

Set in the dark and foreboding village of Warty Hollow, The Quivering follows the fortunes of young Spud, as he tries to save his uncle, Olivetti Franken-Stamp, from the diabolical spell cast upon him by the big cheese from Hell, Big D.

Batty old Uncle Olivetti has found a gateway to Dimension X during his recreational chemistry experiments and accidentally opened a doorway for all the foul-smelling ghoulish monstrosities of the netherworld lead by the putrid, slimy and totally evil Big D. We are talking:- werewolves, mummies, ghouls, demons, vampires, zombies, skeletons and swamp monsters.

As Spud, you must defeat Big D's dark tyranny and change your uncle back from a raven, simultaneously rescuing the whole world from hell and eternal suffering. Can you take the heat?
