The Golden Idol Returns: Netflix's New Mystery Game

The iconic Golden Idol from the 18th-century mystery game is back! Netflix has unexpectedly released The Rise of the Golden Idol, a sequel to The Case of the Golden Idol, transporting players from the 1700s to the groovy 1970s – a time of disco, bell-bottoms, and nascent fax machine technology.

What's the Story?

Three centuries after the original Cloudsley family saga, the Golden Idol's legend persists, albeit as whispers and myths. This renewed interest attracts a colorful cast of characters: relic hunters, cultists seeking enlightenment, and a team of scientists, all vying for a glimpse of the powerful relic. Players step into the role of an investigator, unraveling bizarre occurrences linked to the long-lost artifact.

A Case of 20 Mysteries

The Rise of the Golden Idol presents 20 cases, ranging from unsettling to supernatural. Players must examine evidence, identify culprits, and uncover their motives. Expect a diverse range of suspects, including suspicious prisoners, eccentric TV personalities, and corporate figures with hidden agendas.
