The premise of this game made me expect a larger development on methaphisical/theological themes. The supposed approach from a jewish perspective made it more interesting for a goi like me, although one can suppose that certain issues about questioning faith are universal to any religion. Sadly, the game only hinted with this themes, and the overall approach was pretty shallow.

The noir/detective plot was incredibly lazy, too. Like, it was extremely easy to go from point A to B. Very poorly written. Oh and a boxing rabbi, all of a sudden, i’m not saying it like it was an impossible thing, but it felt to me like they pulled a very weak and evident Deus Ex Machina there.

Now, to be fair, i know this was Dave Gilbert/Wadjet Eye first game ever. And i played the whole thing in probably less than 2 hours so it wasn’t a big waste of time. But still, i can’t help it than just feeling dissapointed anyway. This is a game that could definitely use a proper remake.

I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone, except if you were a die-hard fan of Wadjet Eye and you were looking forward to own their whole catalog. Otherwise, just skip this.
