ABOUT TEAM NOCEBO
Team Nocebo is a small team of three passionate horror game fans. Each of us has nostalgic memories of sitting in the dark playing the classic titles we all know and love and getting scared to death. Shiver is our first official title and we are honored to have you join us on this journey as we aim to capture these feelings of terror and share them with you. Thank you!
ABOUT SHIVER
Shiver is a survival horror game in which a sudden blizzard has enveloped your town, but this isn’t an ordinary storm. Reality itself seems to unravel as you navigate the frozen hellscape to find your missing sister – all while defending yourself not only from horrors beyond our understanding, but nature itself. Solve environmental puzzles, combat ice-covered nightmares, and attempt to uncover the mysteries that lie at the eye of the storm, but most importantly… survive.
While this is our passion project, we are self-funded and doing this in our free time between full time jobs, families, and other responsibilities. Our goal is to work on the game full time, so if you would like to support us please join our Patreon and/or purchase some of our merch. Your support means the world to us and we can’t do it without you!

Austin had an NES controller in his hand before he could even walk. One of his favorite memories as a kid is playing Silent Hill 2 with his dad and brother, absolutely scared to death. Since then, he has been hooked on horror games and the atmosphere and feelings they create. A musician of 20+ years, mostly guitar and vocals, and an active audio engineer mixing and mastering music for artists of all genres, he is proud to compose the score for Shiver.
