A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Shivah - Engine Patch
2023-08-01 20:24 UTC · Community Announcements · James Spanos
Hi, We're upgrading the game to 3.6 version of AGS, which basically means better rendering, better support for resolutions and better support for keyboard and mouse! The savegames have been tested and should work, and shouldn't break. If for any reason there's an issue, feel free to report and opt in to beta oldversion, by using the password "oldversionold"
The Shivah had an awesomely rabbinical take on Monkey Island's insult sword-fighting

From 2010 to 2014 Richard Cobbett wrote Crapshoot, a column about rolling the dice to bring random games back into the light. This week, let's talk about one that's finally getting its due—a smart game that launched a thousand adventures. Well, a dozen and change. But that's not bad going!.. Read more.
The Shivah is now STEAMDECK VERIFIED!

The Shivah: Update
2022-02-10 10:02 UTC · Community Announcements · James Spanos
- Updated all versions to newest stable AGS, so a lot of problems have been fixed. - Added 1 sliders for individual Music volume adjustment. - Fixed a background talk not having a text outline as it should, now it does. - If you want to revert to the older Shivah, opt into beta channel "original", password is "originalbuild", your older saves won't work with this version. Here's a small guide. 1) Right click on The Shivah, go to PROPERTIES. 2) Properties 3) Betas 4) typing in that text input box "originalbuild" WITHOUT QUOTES, hitting check code 5) Hitting the blue button that will appear 6) T
B.J. Blazkowicz and the need for more diverse Jewish characters
2018-05-16 18:00 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Hunter Pauli)
For a series built around the deconstruction of Aryan bodies, it s taken a long time for players to take the hint that Wolfenstein s ubermensch William Blazkowicz is Jewish. That hesitation betrays our definitions of Jewish identity as old-fashioned, and also reflects that the few prominent Jewish characters in games play into and reinforce stereotypes. While Blazkowicz is the most high profile character to break the mold, what does it say about games that the most diverse representation of a Jew we ve seen is simply whiter than most? (more…)

Now Available on Steam - The Shivah
2013-11-21 17:53 UTC · Product Release · Valve
The Shivah is Now Available on Steam! Russell Stone is 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 mon
