The Rise of the Golden Idol picks up two centuries after the Cloud­sley family’s grim fate, weaving a fresh detective saga around the lost artifact’s dark legend. You’ll oversee twenty eerie cases—murders, conspiracies and occult misadventures—that stretch from smoky discos and psychedelic retreats to shadowy labs full of fax machines and parapsychological experiments.

Gameplay is driven by your curiosity and logic. Each scene is laid out for free exploration: click to uncover clues, examine objects and question witnesses. Rather than forcing a single “right” path, Rise encourages you to assemble your own theories. Its refined interface lets you tag key terms from observations and testimonies, tie them together and chart out who did what, where and why.

A rotating cast of characters adds depth and intrigue. Cold-blooded inmates, new-age gurus and boardroom schemers appear across chapters, each with hidden motives you’ll need to unmask. At the end of every case, unique recap puzzles challenge you to revisit past deductions, trace the web of connections and ultimately reveal how these bizarre incidents are all part of one grand design. For fans of methodical sleuthing and layered mysteries, The Rise of the Golden Idol offers an engrossing, non-linear detective experience unlike any other.
