Solve a string of bizarre historical murders in this extremely clever deduction game. 

Previously if you liked Return of the Obra Dinn and wanted to play something with a similar deduction mechanic, your options were basically zero. Now they’ve increased to one! Golden Idol has a very different presentation, art style and structure to Obra Dinn, but feels like it builds on that game’s excellent game design in some great ways, producing a game that is a bit less ambitious but far more accessible. It left us feeling like geniuses.

Golden Idol is available on Steam and GOG for Windows and Mac. Expect it to take about 6 hours to complete.
