Golden Idol Rises: Lemurian Phoenix Arrives This Month

With its intricate narrative weaving cursed treasures and ancient civilizations with modern mysteries and murders, it's no wonder that Rise of the Golden Idol, the sequel to the original Case of the Golden Idol, has captivated players. The excitement is set to soar with the release of its second and most expansive DLC yet, Rise of the Lemurian Phoenix, arriving on May 13th!

For those new to the series, Rise of the Golden Idol offers a unique take on the murder mystery genre through a point-and-click adventure format.
