About

The Idol was lost — but not forgotten. In this followup to the award winning detective game The Case of the Golden Idol, you are an observer that must investigate 20 strange cases of crime, death and depravity - all somehow connected. Use your detective skills to make sense of a grand mystery that unfolds across an age of hallucinogens, disco, fax machines and parapsychology.

Two hundred years after the unspeakable fate of the Cloudsley family, the Idol's legend lives on only in whispers and myth… but some are determined for this to change. Discover the mysterious forces connecting a tenacious treasure hunter, a team of scientists, the members of an enlightenment-seeking cult and corporate profiteers drawn to the all-powerful artifact.

The Rise of the Golden Idol is a new type of detective game where you freely explore each crime scene at your own pace, using logic to build your own theories. Click to collect clues and analyze each discovery to determine what happened, why, and who was responsible.

Convicted prisoners, new age cult leaders, corporate middle management and many more figures have a role to play in the wider mystery that unfolds — each driven by their own agenda. Scour each scene for key details to put names to faces and deduce their motives.

A reworked interface lets you quickly gather key terms from observations and witness testimonies, greatly expanding the depth and variety of each scenario. Upon the conclusion of each chapter, a new type of puzzle lets you revisit past deductions, recap the events of these interconnected cases, and investigate the threads that unify them.

재밌으나 전작에 비해 어렵다 번역도 조금 어색해서 한국어로 하기는 힘들었음 한줄평: 전작은 추천하나, 이 작품은 잘 모르겠다
great game
추리게임으로 나름 괜찮음. 하지만 메인 스토리에 큰 흥미를 못느낌. 번역 문제로 인한 힌트 추리에 결정적인 결함이 있음. 개인적으로는 soso

good
Meh. First game was much better and more focused.
갓겜 의미 없어보이던 사건을 재미있게 엮어냄 흥미로운 시도들도 많음
7/10 ... Get it on sale. Not the same enjoyment of the first, which is dissappointing because the world is so much more interesting in this one. I'm already addicted to this damn idol and it's journey. They did/do a really good job of keeping me hooked with the really cool world building, The story is good too, but the game itself is mehh +. The art style IS fantastic, but seems as if a lot was done with AI, and then someone forgot to double check everything. It's not the most cohesive experience. I will finish and still buy the DLC when that price drops. Hard to post screenshots to explain, but I've had to look some things up that I shouldn't have. The most frustrating is the inconsistencies of the scene images of characters not matching the "name board" or other media that they are also found in (silhouettes/shadows of the characters). To me, logic games shouldn't purposely throw you off by changing multiple character's appearance in the same scene just to "add mystique"
Good sequel
1에 비해 쓸데없는 변두리 가지 스토리가 많고 거기에 쏟아야 되는 노력이 너무 큼 1은 추천 2는 비추천
had so much fun playing this game, the individual cases and overarching story are all so good!
