Author:Kristen Update:Apr 01,2025

The Golden Idol series of point-and-click adventures has taken an intriguing journey, evolving from the historical intrigue of the original Case of the Golden Idol to the modern-day, hard-boiled detective crime thriller in Rise of the Golden Idol. Fans of the series have something new to look forward to with the first DLC for Rise of the Golden Idol, titled The Sins of New Wells, set to release on March 4th.

Rise of the Golden Idol is accessible on PC and exclusively on mobile through the Netflix Games catalogue. In The Sins of New Wells, players will step into the shoes of detective Roy Samson, who has been transferred to the corrupt and crime-ridden 9th District. Alongside his new partner, Cliff Savea, Samson must unravel a series of brutal murders that hint at the involvement of Lemurian magic.

The Golden Idol series is renowned for its unique puzzle-solving mechanics, where players link words and concepts in various modes. By meticulously examining scenes, players gather evidence and piece it together to form a theoretical sequence of events or reach other conclusions.

Into my mind palaceThe Golden Idol series stands out in the point-and-click genre for its innovative approach to mystery-solving and evidence gathering. I'm eager to see what new crimes await in this upcoming DLC. However, the series' dense lore might be challenging for some players to fully grasp.

Having Rise of the Golden Idol available on Netflix Games is a significant addition to their catalogue. If you're interested in exploring more top releases on this service, be sure to check out our list of the top 10 best games on Netflix at the moment.
