The Shivah is a computer game designed and developed by Dave Gilbert with the assistance of others (such as voice actors and artists). The game was originally developed for the Monthly Adventure Game Studio 5th anniversary competition in June 2006, which it won[1]. The author, now publishing as Wadjet Eye Games, then improved the game: making it longer, with voice acting, DVD-style commentary and extra puzzles. In September 2006 the game was on sale via the Internet from the Wadjet Eye Games site or from Manifesto Games. The shift from free to pay-to-play met criticism from some members of the AGS community but settled down soon after.
