The Shivah
Release Date: November 21, 2013
Steam
Adventure game with classic point & click interface, created by independent studio Wadjet Eye Games. Rabbi Russell Stone takes care of a small, heavily decaying synagogue in Manhattan. Unexpectedly, one of the former members of the community is murdered, leaving him with a large inheritance. However, the clergyman senses trickery and decides to discover the truth on his own.
Russell Stone is a Jewish Rabbi at a poor synagogue in New York City. He is a devout man with a problem. Membership is way down and he lacks the funds to keep his synagogue open. Things are looking very bleak, and he has grown progressively more cynical and bitter with the passage of time.
Just as he is on the verge of packing it all in, he receives some interesting news. A former member of his congregation has died and left the Rabbi a significant amount of money. A blessing? Or the start of something far more sinister? Can Rabbi Stone just accept the money and move on? His conscience says no. Step into his shoes as he travels all over Manhattan in his attempt to uncover the truth.
