The Golden Idol series has carved a unique path in the world of point-and-click adventures, evolving from the historical intrigue of the original Case of the Golden Idol to the gritty, modern-day detective thriller seen in Rise of the Golden Idol. Fans of the series have even more to look forward to with the announcement of the first DLC for Rise of the Golden Idol, titled The Sins of New Wells, set to release on March 4th.
Rise of the Golden Idol is accessible on PC and exclusively on mobile through the Netflix Games catalogue. In The Sins of New Wells, players will take on the role of detective Roy Samson, who has been transferred to the notorious 9th District. Teamed up with his new partner, Cliff Savea, Samson must unravel a series of brutal murders that hint at the involvement of Lemurian magic.
The series is known for its innovative puzzle-solving mechanics, requiring players to connect words and concepts to piece together evidence and construct a narrative of events. This method of deducing mysteries adds a fresh layer to the traditional point-and-click genre, making The Golden Idol series a standout.
Into my mind palaceThe unique approach to mystery-solving in the Golden Idol series is both engaging and innovative. As we anticipate the new crimes to be solved in The Sins of New Wells, it's clear that the series continues to push the boundaries of the genre. However, the complex lore of the Golden Idol universe might pose a challenge for some newcomers.
The inclusion of Rise of the Golden Idol in the Netflix Games lineup is a significant addition, enhancing the service's offerings. If you're interested in exploring more of what Netflix Games has to offer, be sure to check out our list of the top 10 best games available on the platform right now.
