The highly anticipated DLC for Rise of the Golden Idol, titled The Lemurian Phoenix, is set to launch on May 13th. This expansive addition to the game will introduce players to a thrilling five-chapter adventure, tracing a chain of events ignited by a single murder in 1910 and unfolding over the decades.
Rise of the Golden Idol, the sequel to the acclaimed Case of the Golden Idol, has captivated players with its unique blend of cursed treasure, ancient civilizations, and modern-day mysteries and murders. The game's innovative approach to the murder mystery genre, combined with its point-and-click adventure format, challenges players to piece together keywords from crime scenes to unravel the who, what, and why behind each case.
While the narrative is never straightforward, the mix of human motivations and ancient technology keeps players on their toes, ensuring that every investigation is filled with unexpected twists and turns. And, of course, the promise of grisly murders and gruesome mysteries where anyone could be the culprit adds to the game's allure.
Developer Color Gray Games remains tight-lipped about the specifics of The Lemurian Phoenix, but they've teased fans with a cryptogram revealing the names of the five new chapters: Eternity's End, Ascension, Royal Blood, Revelation, and A Blaze of Glory. These titles hint at themes of religious fervor, charismatic gurus, and brutal power struggles, promising an engaging and intense storyline.
Players eager to dive into this new adventure can mark their calendars for May 13th, when The Lemurian Phoenix will be available for purchase. Holders of the Detective Pass and those playing via Netflix Games will have the added benefit of accessing this DLC for free.
