Shivah: The seven days of Jewish mourning following the death of a close relative
Russell Stone works as a Jewish Rabbi at a poor synagogue in New York City. He is a devout man with a problem. Membership is way down and he lacks the funds to keep his synagogue open. Things are looking very bleak, and he has grown progressively more cynical and bitter with the passage of time.
Just as he is on the verge of packing it all in, he receives some interesting news. A former member of his congregation has died and left the rabbi a significant amount of money.
A blessing? Or the start of something far more sinister? Can Rabbi Stone just accept the money and move on? His conscious says no. Step into his shoes as he travels all over Manhattan in his attempt to uncover the truth.
Features rabbinical conversation methods, a unique method of fighting, an original score (around 10 musical tracks), and three different endings!

i started playing this game and must say i find it exceptionally good for a game made by only a handfull of men. Does stand to show the immense potential of AGS.
I liked it, but was a little disappointed at the lack of puzzles. I did like combining clues in order to advance. This is more of an atmospheric game, but I guess I wasn't in the right mood when playing.
I might replay it, but it'll be a while until I do.
So I feel like a fool even asking this because I konw how many people have found this extremely easy but I am at a huge loss in this game. I enjoy it because it's creative but... well I seem to be incapable of progressing past a certain point. What am I supposed to do at the pub? I'm trying to be appropriately vague here in case someone else happens upon this and doesn't want any spoilers.
