The Golden Idol series has carved out a unique niche in the world of point-and-click adventures, evolving from historical mysteries in the original Case of the Golden Idol to the gritty, modern-day detective saga in Rise of the Golden Idol. Now, fans have even more to look forward to with the announcement of the first DLC for Rise of the Golden Idol, titled The Sins of New Wells, set to launch on March 4th.

In The Sins of New Wells, players will step into the shoes of Detective Roy Samson, a recent transfer to the notorious 9th District. Teamed up with his new partner, Cliff Savea, Samson must unravel a chilling series of murders that hint at darker, possibly supernatural forces at play, including elements of Lemurian magic.

Rise of the Golden Idol is available not only on PC but also on mobile devices exclusively through the Netflix Games catalogue. This expansion promises to delve deeper into the series' distinctive puzzle-solving mechanics, where players connect words and concepts to piece together events and solve mysteries. By exploring scenes, gathering evidence, and linking clues, players can form theories about the crimes they're investigating.
