The Golden Idol series continues to captivate with its unique blend of historical intrigue and modern-day detective work, now venturing into new territory with the first DLC for Rise of the Golden Idol, titled The Sins of New Wells, set to launch on March 4th. This expansion introduces players to detective Roy Samson, who has just been transferred to the notoriously corrupt 9th District. As Samson, alongside his new partner Cliff Savea, you'll dive into a chilling investigation of brutal murders that hint at the sinister influence of Lemurian magic.
Available on PC and exclusively on mobile through the Netflix Games catalogue, Rise of the Golden Idol maintains the series' signature puzzle-solving mechanics. Players will continue to link words and concepts in various modes, piecing together evidence from scenes to unravel the mysteries at hand. This approach to solving crimes is not only engaging but also pushes the boundaries of what point-and-click adventures can offer.
