These are the types of questions you will be answering throughout 12 completely different murders – and there is a demo out there now, if you wish to begin to work the case straight away.
Here is the most recent trailer, which makes a powerful – ahem – case for taking part in it:
The Case Of The Golden Idol is ready within the 18th century and follows a “cursed aristocratic household”, with the 12 unusual deaths you are investigating spanning 40 years however all being in some way linked. It is your job to uncover the “true killers” and their motives.
I really like detective video games that permit for some precise detection, which appears to be the main focus of Golden Idol. You are in a position to freely poke round scenes, gathering clues in your individual time, seemingly with out being strong-armed into the right reply by the narrative. You’ll get affirmation that your conclusions are right, nevertheless.
I additionally love the artwork model right here, which is characterful, ugly, and with its pixel shading, is harking back to basic Apple journey video games. Like a coloured-in Déjà Vu, perhaps.
