The Golden Idol series has carved a unique path through the point-and-click adventure genre, evolving from historical mysteries in the original Case of the Golden Idol to the gritty, modern-day detective saga in Rise of the Golden Idol. Fans of the series can look forward to even more intrigue with the release of the first DLC for Rise of the Golden Idol, titled The Sins of New Wells, scheduled for March 4th.
Rise of the Golden Idol is accessible on PC and, uniquely, on mobile devices through the Netflix Games catalogue. In The Sins of New Wells, players take on the role of Roy Samson, a detective newly transferred to the notorious 9th District. Together with his partner Cliff Savea, Samson delves into a chilling series of murders that hint at the sinister influence of Lemurian magic.
The Golden Idol games stand out due to their innovative puzzle-solving mechanics, which require players to connect words and concepts in various modes. As players explore scenes, they gather evidence that can be pieced together to reconstruct events or draw new conclusions.
Into my mind palaceThe Golden Idol series exemplifies innovation within the point-and-click genre, continuously introducing fresh mechanics that enhance the mystery-solving experience. I'm eager to see what new challenges await in the upcoming DLC.
However, the series' intricate lore might occasionally alienate newcomers or casual players. Despite this, having such a beloved point-and-click adventure in the Netflix Games library is a significant advantage for the platform.
