The Golden Idol series continues to captivate fans with its unique blend of historical intrigue and modern-day detective work. The latest addition to this acclaimed point-and-click adventure series, Rise of the Golden Idol, is set to expand with its first DLC, The Sins of New Wells, launching on March 4th. This new chapter introduces us to detective Roy Samson, who has been transferred to the notorious 9th District, a place rife with corruption and crime.
In The Sins of New Wells, players will step into Samson's shoes as he teams up with his new partner, Cliff Savea, to unravel a chilling series of murders. But these aren't just any murders; they hint at the dark influence of Lemurian magic, adding a supernatural twist to the gritty detective narrative.
Rise of the Golden Idol is accessible on PC and, uniquely, on mobile devices through the Netflix Games catalogue. This expansion not only promises new crimes to solve but also continues the series' tradition of innovative puzzle-solving mechanics. Players will delve into scenes, gather evidence, and link words and concepts to piece together the events and uncover the truth.
