by Emma Mar 29,2025

The Golden Idol series has carved an intriguing path through the world of point-and-click adventures, transitioning from historical mysteries in the original Case of the Golden Idol to a gritty, modern-day detective saga in Rise of the Golden Idol. Fans of the series are in for a treat, as the first DLC, The Sin of New Wells, is set to launch on March 4th.

Rise of the Golden Idol is accessible on PC and exclusively on mobile through the Netflix Games catalogue. In The Sin of New Wells, players will step into the shoes of detective Roy Samson, who has been transferred to the notorious 9th District, a hotbed of corruption and crime. Together with his new partner, Cliff Savea, Samson must unravel a series of brutal murders that hint at the sinister influence of Lemurian magic.

The series stands out with its unique puzzle-solving mechanics, where players link words and concepts to piece together evidence and theorize the sequence of events. This innovative approach to mystery-solving is a highlight of the Golden Idol series, and it's exciting to see what new challenges await in the upcoming DLC.
