Description
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.
200 YEARS LATER… THE IDOL RISES
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.
FEATURES
LEAD YOUR OWN INVESTIGATION
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.
A CURIOUS CAST OF CHARACTERS
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 NEW APPROACH TO SOLVING CRIMES
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.

This game makes you fill out the blanks in an extremely frustrating way. Even though I already understand the story, I can't progress until I write it *specifically* how the devs want me to write. The reason this is

Loved the first game, which carried me through 4 sections of this one before I started realizing that opening the game filled me with a sense of boredom and dread. I'm in mid-late game and I'm doing the umpteenth filler

An [Okay] deduction game. Same as the first one, and I'd recommend playing the first game first, as it is shorter, easier to get into, and overall slightly better. This felt worse in UI, harder to navigate. The new

I really enjoy this series and gameplay style and will always recommend it to lovers of classic adventure games and puzzles. The puzzles are interesting and the nonlinear nature of the storytelling adds an extra layer

"What if environmental storytelling was the entire game" the game. And it's very good. You'll be forming hypotheses and rejecting them as you consider and reconsider all of the evidence. And multiple narratives "emerge"
