The Shivers takes users to an alternative reality, where paranormal activity becomes a real threat to the safety of citizens. Such problems are solved by specially trained professionals with extensive experience and authority in society. The main character is no exception; he spent a lot of time and lost his personal space in order to defeat evil and save innocent lives. Now he takes control of an organized group of fighters against evil spirits in order to increase efficiency.

The protagonist of The Shivers and his partners spend most of their time at an improvised base, where the latest world news is monitored using computer equipment. If signs of infection appear, the comrades set off on an adventurous journey to overcome the creatures. The mission begins with a thorough exploration of the surrounding area and finding the cause of grief. After determining the type of supernatural creature, a way to eliminate it is sought.

To do this, hunters have an extensive list of weapons and additional equipment in their inventory, because the daredevils do not know until the very end what they are facing this time. The next enemy may well be a ghost, demon or mythical animal with powerful powers. The passage is optimized for cooperative races with friends. The experience and funds gained are spent on arranging a shelter and purchasing new and improved weapons.
