The Bruised Golden God: A New Mystery Unfolds

Stepping into the chilly 1970s, where the secrets of the golden idol - once whispered about in Legend of Lemuria - remain hidden behind a veil of conspiracy and shadowy myths. The Rise of the Golden Idol begins with a grim finding: a scientist, frozen in snow, meets a mysterious end. Color Gray Games' latest calls back to the original, but this time, everyone’s eyes glow red, signifying a chilling shift. The game plunges you into intricate scenes, like a dark museum or a packed police station, where you play detective by clicking and exploring. Unlike before, clues mesh directly onto the screen, making it easier to solve puzzles. Each chapter ends with a recap, ensuring no detail goes unexplored. Yet, the idol’s story remains clouded. Did greed or stupidity cause the bloody mess? Follow the trail of hilarious calamities, from a fiery lab accident to deadly dances with cultists. The game’s art, reminiscent of childhood cartoons, shadows this dark comedy. But even with improvements, miniscule word choices can trip up even diligent players.
