Reviews
The Case of the Golden Idol is deduction done right: strictly logical, no guesswork, every conclusion earned through careful reading and understanding of context. The unassuming retro pixel art hides a surprisingly engaging story, with chapters that build on each other instead of feeling like isolated puzzles. It's not flawless. A few deductions in the final chapters rely on context that isn't clearly established, and the Redux version has minor hit-detection issues with clickable objects. Gameplay-wise I preferred the original's exploring/thinking toggle over the streamlined Redux approach, though Redux does win on visual clarity.
[h2]評判の良さも分かるが赤点要素も多いゲーム[/h2] 『ギルド探求団』から続けてこちらをプレイ。 基本的な穴埋め推理要素は楽しめたものの、 不満点の方が多く残ったので非オススメとする。 良い点は他の方が沢山語っているので、自分は不満点のみ語る。 DLCは手を出していないので、そっちで補完があったらすまん。 [h3]主人公が神の視点[/h3] 主人公が何者であるかの説明はなく、 登場人物が持っているもの、書物や地図などを情報として扱える。 神の視点過ぎるので、犯人が絶対隠したいモノや、思考すら読める。 それ自体は他作品でも特殊能力があったりするのであまり問題ないのだが、 今作は神の視点「でしかない」ところが不満点。 例えば『オブラディン』や『探求団』では主人公がおり、彼らが調査を進める。 そして主人公はその成果により報酬を得、エンディングとエピローグを迎える。 この作品ではプレイヤーが推理を進めても、何も物語が変化しない。 犯人を当てたところで犯人が捕まる事もなく、犯人の思惑通りの展開で話が進む。 いわゆる「報酬系統」が一切なく、自分が関わったという満足感が得られない。 ネタバレになるが[spoiler]結局黄金像の秘密も、由来すらも何も明かされない。DLCか?[/spoiler] [h3]メモ機能など、UXの不満点[/h3] 事件において色んな文章や登場人物の顔を情報として取り扱うのだが、 この「神の視点」さん、情報をまとめると言う事を一切せず、プレイヤーに投げっぱなしである。 そのため何度も同じ手紙を見るために画面移動をしたり、外へ新聞を読みに行ったり、 それらを回避するために大量の画像ファイルやメモを自前で用意しなければならなく、とにかく手間がかかる。 またその章には一切情報がなく、「前の話で出て来た○○さんなのでご存じだと思いますが……」と言う事態も頻繁に発生する。 再登場しないかどうかなんてわからないので、ぽっと出のモブ含め全員の顔と名前と情報をメモって行くことになる。 また再登場しても年月の変化や変装などで外見が変わっている事もあり、一筋縄ではいかない。 [h3]肝心なところで翻訳が駄目[/h3] 大半は問題ない、大半は。 ただ一点、被害者と犯人の名前が入れ替わっている箇所がある。 ここでどう推理したのとも間違っていないはずなのだが……と時間を一時間以上無駄にした。 脱力。

A modern classic! If you like mystery games, take this as the sign you're looking for and just get it. Absolutely worth the price.
太好玩了!
Wonderful mystery game with a really endearing art style!
Excellent puzzles. I love the way the devs build an entire world and story just using what they did here, really impressive.

찾아낸 단서로 상황을 추리하는 재미있는 게임. 뒤로 갈수록 지금까지 있었던 사건의 배경을 알게 되는 게 좋았음.
LOVED IT thank youuuuuuu!!
