The Shivah

Good story and voice acting! As others has said it is very short. It could use a little more fleshing out.

The game is surprisingly short, deeper / larger plot would make the game a game. The stage is quite depressing. Well balanced puzzles, voice acting and set of jokes make the game very enjoyable to spend an evening.

After 3 hours of playtime it was finished and I was very pleased by the tense finale, with the music, antagonist and the gameplay mechanics. Otherwise the game is short and story is very direct, not much menadering. Nice to see some jewish specifics (some jiddish words, traditional sounding music, "rabbi way" of talking - which is to always answer with a question :) Unique enough!

Beautiful detective quest, with life-like characters, nice music, and reasonable situations. Just the way I like it. Tried all the three endings, since getting the good one is tricky. With a nice message and hilarious behind-the-scenes extras. Mazel tov, Rabbi Stone.

The Shivah is a beautiful atmospheric game, which manages to draw the player into its little world. Very good graphics, great music and voice acting. Its only flaws are its short duration and a somewhat irritating dialogue puzzle in the end. If you are into detective mysteries you should definitely buy it and then proceed with the Blackwell series which reaches perfection.
