The Shivah

Russell Stone works as 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.

Originally released as a freeware adventure before being enhanced and re-released as a commercial project. Re-released again in 2013 as “Kosher Edition” with enhanced graphics.

rare gem


This is one rare gem. Clever, funny and brilliantly executed. Plus you learn everything you need to know about rabbinical conversation! Old style pixel art and very good voiceacting to go with that!...
