The Shivah

Oy vey!

Rabbi Stone is a depressed rabbi whose congregation is failing.  When a police officer visits and tells him that a previous congregation member was killed and left him a sum of money, he goes to sit shivah with the widow.  He also feels guilty for having kicked them out of the congregation 8 years ago, and finds a few clues that sets him on a path of the killer.

Much of the game play involves dialog choices and clicking on various room objects, there are lots of red herrings objects and dialog choices though.

All in all it was a well put together story of rabbi mafia.  It was difficult at times to see what to do, specifically when fighting the evil rabbi - but in general giving the "rabbinical response" was the best solution (answering with a question).

Game play was pretty boring, I probably wouldn't have bought it if I had spent a little more time investigating - even though it was only a two hour commitment.
