About

Point-and-click adventure where you play Russell Stone, a rabbi whose failing New York synagogue is nearly broke. When a former congregant dies and leaves you a large sum, you can't shake the feeling something's off about the inheritance. The game sends you across Manhattan questioning witnesses and suspects using a dialogue system built around Talmudic argument—picking conversational angles to challenge statements or find contradictions. Combat exists but uses a unique mechanic tied to rabbinical debate rather than standard brawling. Your choices lead to one of three endings depending on how you handle the investigation and what you uncover about the deceased's motives. Expect a noir-ish detective story filtered through Jewish tradition, with an original soundtrack and a cynical protagonist whose faith is tested by circumstance.
