Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Rabbi Russell Stone is a conservative Jew who is slowly dying inside. His congregation has mostly left him, his synagogue is falling apart, and he is starting to lose faith in God's benevolence. Then, one day, he receives a bit of good news, albeit of the bittersweet variety: A former member of his congregation has died, and left him thousands of dollars with which to pay his overdue rents and keep his synagogue together... there are, however, a few problems.The dead man, Jack Lauder, is someone from whom Stone had been estranged for years, so it was quite odd that Lauder would mention Stone in his will. Furthermore, Lauder was murdered, and Stone is a suspect.Rather than take the money and quietly accept it, Stone decides that he will investigate Jack Lauder's death himself, to clear his name and find out what really happened. To start, he'll make a Shivah call on Rajshree Lauder, Jack's widow...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Shivah is a Wadjet Eye Games project from the mind of Dave Gilbert.

Armor-Piercing Question | |
| The Shivah (Video Game) / int_7b6e47a5 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Question: A critical game mechanic. Stone gets involved in a few Rabbinic Duels during the game, where his ability to provoke doubt in his opponents will literally determine if he lives or dies. | |

Artistic License – Religion | |
| The Shivah (Video Game) / int_a27c0c2c | comment |
Artistic License - Judaism: Although the game gets a number of things right, some details about Judaism are incorrect. It's implied that the entire plot takes place during the course of a single Friday evening, and that Rabbis Stone and Zelig are both Orthodox rabbis. That leads to some inaccuracies: Traditional Jewish services cannot take place without a quorum of at least ten men (women don't count), known as a minyan. The service depicted in the opening of the game has only three people in attendance, one of whom is a woman.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| The Shivah (Video Game) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Even carrying objects from one location to another is prohibited on the Sabbath, which means that Rabbi Zelig would have been unable to give Rabbi Stone his business card. There is a concept in Jewish law called an eruv, though, which allows the definition of "location" to get a bit fuzzy. If an eruv was in place, both Rabbis Stone and Zelig would certainly be aware of that. | |
