The Shivah

Mazel Tov! As I was digging a new tunnel on the way to the Synagogue, Rabbi Silverstein gives me a call on my Motorola Kosher-Certified™️ flip phone, and he says to me; "Aaron my boy, stop trying to summon Moloch, we just gots The Shivah Steam-Deck certified!" "Baruch Hashem" says I! Time to get my tuchas in gear. Schlepping through the schmutz I reach the exit up top and cut through an alleyway to get home faster. Oy vey! Big mistake as I am greeted by angry goyim looking so hungry they could eat what my circumcision left behind! "Help! Help! HOLOCAUST" I scream, never before had I seen goyim back down so quickly! This is true Jew power! Sorry to hurt your tuchas goyim, you are not chosen enough to be part of Chabad-lubavitch!

Short but well-executed point & click adventure, worth checking out for fans of the genre

Personally this game wasn't for me, I love Dave Gilbert he is a kinda role model in life for me at this point and I'm one of those who replay his games with the documentaries on right after I beat them to hear him talk, cause I think he has very interesting and funny insights on life and game development in general, with The Shivah I knew what I am getting myself into, a story revolving around Jews and questioning your own religion in general, and to be honest I was interested cause truth be told I'm not very nolegable about the Jews besides the stereotypes, but therefore I never once looked into what's a Rabbi in the first place as I believed it was just a priest in Jewish. So I was interested in knowing about the culture or why The Shivah was made in the first place, but I sadly didn't find anything of value and the themes it covered got me in a pretty strange headspace. It was essentially a detective story but got told in the POV of a Rabbi, that's fine, but then suddenly Rabbi Stone is a boxer with a "Show me what ya got attitude" it kind of flipped the serious tone of the game to be a lot more funny rather than cool. The easter eggs or I say semi-future callbacks were nea…

Ох, я запустил эту игру перед Рош ха-Шана, 29 элула 5786 года... Повествование ведётся через игру за раввина Рассела Стоуна. Начало игры: почти пустая синагога, и дела обстоят скверно. На Стоуна снисходит приличная сумма денег от бывшего, а ныне погибшего прихожанина бейт-кнессета, с которым у главного героя остались не самые тёплые отношения. О новости внезапного обогащения не только материальным достатком, но и репутационным риском сообщают правоохранительные органы, и раву Расселу предстоит разобраться в мотиве преступления, источнике денег и установить личность убийцы... Вероятно, сильная сторона этой игры - не головоломки, а тон, точнее атмосфера, которая создаётся за счёт музыкального сопровождения, пустых улиц Манхэттена, и внутреннего монолога человека, который уже не уверен, что Творец его слышит. Пожалуй, вам действительно лучше один раз пройти, нежели читать десятки отзывов, потратив на это столько же время, чем на предполагаемое прохождение - игра на один вечер. Oh, I started this game right before Rosh Hashanah, on the 29th of Elul 5786. You play as Rabbi Russell Stone. It opens on an almost empty synagogue, and things are in pretty bad shape. A decent sum of money la…
