The Rise of the Golden Idol, a sequel to the popular detective quest, has been released

The detective game The Rise of the Golden Idol, developed by Color Gray Games and published by Playstack, has been released on PC and consoles. This game is positioned as a spiritual successor to The Case of the Golden Idol, a 2022 quest that won recognition from gamers and received high marks.

The cost of The Rise of the Golden Idol on Steam is 639 rubles, but the game does not support the Russian language. You can top up your Steam balance through the VK Play platform. On PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch consoles, the game is available for $19.99, which is equivalent to about 1.9 thousand rubles at the Central Bank of the Russian Federation exchange rate excluding VAT.

The events of the game take players to the 1970s - an era symbolically called "blood and disco". The plot centers on a hunter of ancient artifacts who is searching for a mystical object that can change the course of history. Players will have to solve 20 intricate cases full of crimes, deaths and intrigues, plunging into a dark atmosphere of secret conspiracies and debauchery. As in The Case of the Golden Idol, users are free to explore events and build their theories, using a unique approach to each investigation.

The heroes that you will encounter in the game are people of various professions and social strata: seekers of enlightenment, prisoners, TV show hosts and middle managers. Each of them is driven by their own goals, and some hide motives that go beyond personal interests.

The game received positive reviews from critics. On the OpenCritic platform, the project received a score of 84 points based on 12 reviews, and on Metacritic a similar rating is based on 16 reviews. Journalists note the fascinating plot, unusual puzzles and atmospheric musical accompaniment.
