The highly anticipated DLC for Rise of the Golden Idol, titled The Lemurian Phoenix, is set to launch on May 13th. This expansive add-on brings a thrilling five-chapter adventure that delves into a complex narrative sparked by a single murder in 1910, unfolding over decades. With its intriguing blend of cursed treasures and ancient civilizations intertwined with modern-day mysteries and murders, Rise of the Golden Idol continues to captivate players as a standout sequel to Case of the Golden Idol.
Rise of the Golden Idol distinguishes itself within the murder mystery and point-and-click adventure genres. Players are tasked with exploring scenes to gather keywords, piecing them together to solve the mysteries of what happened, why it happened, and who was responsible. However, the game's narrative complexity, combined with human motivations and ancient technology, ensures that no two investigations are alike, keeping players on their toes with a mix of grisly murders and intriguing mysteries where anyone could be the culprit.
ShinyWhile developer Color Gray Games keeps much of The Lemurian Phoenix under wraps, they've teased fans with a cryptogram revealing the names of the five new chapters: Eternity's End, Ascension, Royal Blood, Revelation, and A Blaze of Glory. These chapter titles hint at themes of religious fervor, charismatic gurus, and brutal power struggles, promising an engaging storyline that players will need to experience firsthand.
The Lemurian Phoenix will be available for purchase on May 13th. Holders of the Detective Pass and those playing via Netflix Games can enjoy this DLC for free.
