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.
Sums Steam only; PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

The best detective game I have ever played! Great atmosphere and soundtrack
目前正在打dlc,本体解谜难度和金偶像谜案差不多,但是翻译确实差点意思,导致解谜过程中很容易因为蹩脚的翻译卡壳,切成英语才好了一点,虽然我给了推荐但还是请介意翻译问题的玩家继续观望
好玩的!!!虽然有些时候一头雾水,都是看到题面反推发生了什么事,但想通之后恍然大悟的感觉还是爽!

It's more golden idol. Gameplay is pretty much exactly the same as the first game. Overall it's still good, but not nearly as good as the first game due to the story. Instead of a series of mini-cases tracking the progression of the idol like in the first game, you get a jumbled mess of disconnected out of order situations that eventually tie together sloppily, while the game expects you to have been tracking everything when it quizzes you later. Also there's inexplicably load times that are way longer than they need to be for such a low res simplistic game.
・結論 非常に面白い、ただし英語が読める場合。 ・本文 ゲームは観察と推理、条件を満たすものを探して一つ一つ埋めていくことで 物語の全体像がわかるようになっています。非常に素晴らしく面白い。 いいところ ・物語の面白さ ・謎が解けたときの気持ちよさ ・なかなかいい音楽 ・味のある絵 悪いところ ・翻訳のずさんさはときに問題が間違っているのでは?という疑惑を植え付けてくる ストーリー後半やDLCは別人に変わったのか思うくらいの酷さ ・日本語フォントを使ってない ・一部単語は正確に翻訳されていない。発狂するかと思うくらいイライラする。しかも直訳で誤魔化してる、意味わからない。なんですかワイヤーって。 大前提として日本語とかいう摩訶不思議謎言語が全て悪いと言わざるを得ない。 そもそも文章の作り方が根底から違うのだから翻訳にかかる負担はとんでもないものになるだろうというのは容易に想像できる。前作もひどかった。 そのため大変非常に全く心苦しいのですが翻訳のせいで酷いゲームになっていて 同言語圏におすすめすることはできない。 英語がわかるから大丈夫?ならば今すぐ遊びましょう。 そして翻訳の問題はなんと初期から文句を言われているが開発には修正する気が一切ないようなので 故に評価はネガティブです。 おかしいな?翻訳のひとがなにか言ってたような気がしましたが? 日本語しかできない人は諦めて別のゲームをかいましょう。
第二章第二部分的密码破译因为翻译问题完全无法以官方中文形式游玩,不建议国区玩家购买
Inspired by Obra Dinn, but firmly in the deduction genre's S tier on its own merits. You solve the game scene by scene, but there's also an overarching plot to piece together and all of it just works magnificently. Ideally start with the first game, but this one is even marginally better. Strong recommendation.
隔了差不多四个月想起来评一下,总体上我还是挺喜欢本作的,再出新作的话也会买,但缺点也不少,基本都是基于前作来作比较也有很多问题。汉化文本问题很多人提了不赘述。中文字体本身的适配也没做好,经常上上下下大大小小,外加字体选择和游戏风格很不协调,看起来很劣质。但老实说这是本作无数汉化缺点中最微不足道的一条了。。 操作相比前作有优化的地方,比如前作经常因为标签空间不够而有些难整理,本作会自动分类而且操作空间也足够。但相比之下我个人还是更喜欢前作的操作模式。比如一个个点标签确实比一下子全蹦出来更有体验感和沉浸感;比如我觉得窗口化虽然方便同时阅读但切换现场线索很麻烦;比如前作使用拖动标签完全没问题但本作不知为何很容易脱手或拖错位置,我最后去设置切换成了点击式的,等等等等。以及最重要的,本作由于时间线是乱序的,对场景切换的依赖性很高,然而本作场景之间的切换要七八秒左右,进入要加载退出也要加载,非常非常慢。 比起前作,先前游玩的经验和更近于现代的故事背景都降低了理解成本。与此同时,故事的悬疑感确实降低了不少。举例来说,前作很喜欢设置一个显而易见的错误幌子,再把真相通过少量的暗示信息隐藏起来,但本作基本不这么做,挺多东西更像是“搞清楚发生了什么”而不是“揭秘事件的谜底”。如游戏标题可见,前作更倾向于谜案case之间的串联,案件之间的跨度可能极大。本作倾向于讲述金偶再崛起[spoiler] (以及再次戛然而止)[/spoiler] 的过程,每个章节的过渡是比较顺承的,可能会有跨度比较大的地方但不会有前作那种进入陌生场景完全懵圈的状况。另外,本作比前作多了一些图片解密的要素,相比于前作基本上只是文本阅读中找线索,会需要关注一些非标记点的地方。 DLC全通,同样是本体挖坑DLC填坑,相较于前作DLC和本体故事线的回环,本作DLC更像是对补充世界观的小品故事,且解谜设计质量稍差,故事也因为惯常套路有点乏味。个人最喜欢DLC1,形式比较新颖。[spoiler](结尾警探哥还有人拿小本本给他翻译而不是进精神病院,历史教授也回魂了,真挺暖心的吧,珍惜这个世界观下难得非邪恶阵营的聪明人)[/spoiler]
中文翻译做成这样已经是种罪过了,狗屁不通。 不如直接打开英文玩
