Overview
Description

Rabbi Russell Stone faces dwindling synagogue funds until a deceased congregant leaves a mysterious inheritance. As he navigates Manhattan, he must decide whether to accept the money or uncover the dark truth behind it. Shivah blends rabbinical conversation mechanics with a unique combat system, offering an original score and three distinct endings that reflect the player's moral choices.

Set in the seedy underbelly of 1990s New York, you play as retired cop Jock LaMonte racing against time to rescue his ex‑girlfriend from a mob boss known only as Snow Man. The game blends a noir storyline with photorealistic 360° environments and FMV sequences, delivering a cinematic mystery experience. Snow Job is a first‑person point‑and‑click adventure where you explore fixed locations, manage an inventory, solve puzzles, converse with a cast of characters, and engage in mini‑game combat. Its three‑screen interface lets you navigate, view maps, and interact with the world in a uniquely immersive way.
