Strong story and good implementation, worth a play

I'm happy I finally played this game. The story is compelling. It is short but the length feels appropriate. Be prepared to navigate dialogue trees instead of inventory puzzles to progress. The adaptation to a touch screen is well done. But, to the developers, please cut out the lengthy opening. Why do we need to watch it every time the app launches and after you die? I love the bonus material at the very end, nice touch.
All chatter & minimal play

I loved "The Silent Age" but so disappointed in "Shivah"; the Rabbi just keeps rambling on, there are so few clues to gather or use & the actions require a variable amount of useless repetition to proceed to the next action. Plus why do we have to look at a photo of the producers to find out we've come to a clue - really?!?!? Get back to work on part two of the silent age, Please
Short and sweet

Highly recommended if you like '90s adventure games. A detective mystery without the tired detective mystery clichés. Excited to play the dev's other game, Gemini Rule, next.
Awesome

Loved this game, wish there were more games like this one on the App Store. A little short but still worth buying.
Brief, but clever with multiple endings

I really enjoyed this pensive gem. Great voice acting and a solid mystery. A memorable "anti-hero" main character as well.
Perfect!

Shivah got a Gemini Rue makeover for the iOS, which is awesome both for old and new fans. We need more point and click adventure games like this. Hopefully Shivah was successful enough that Wadjet ports or makes new titles for the iPad crowd.
Mini-game

After playing Gemini Rue I figured I'd give this game a shot. However, as someone pointed out, there are only a handful of simple puzzles and the game is extremely short (less than an hour of good gameplay). At "the end" I expected the game to pick up, as if I just finished the prologue. Of course "The End" was definitely an unexpected screen to pop up. I think for the length, $0.99 is a reasonable price. Note: On iOS 7, whenever you tried to get to your inventory, the slider pops down as well so hopefully this annoyance will be fixed in the future for anyone buying this.
Hardly point and click adventure

Good story but puzzles are limited to figuring out passwords and conversations. Very short game. Bad design, takes few minutes to navigate back when you die.
