Manifesto Games in NYC is releasing the first ever video game to feature the leader of a Jewish congregation. The premise of the "The Shivah" as explained by CNN.Com:
In the murder-mystery game named after the Jewish mourning ritual, protagonist Rabbi Stone is having a crisis of faith and his congregation on New York's Lower East side is losing members and cash.
When he inherits a small windfall from a controversial congregant, Rabbi Stone must solve the mystery behind the gift and make sure it is not cursed.
"The Shivah" retails for $5. In addition to all the nachas that will inevitably follow.
