About

The Idol was lost — but not forgotten. In this followup to the award winning detective game The Case of the Golden Idol, you are an observer that must investigate 20 strange cases of crime, death and depravity - all somehow connected. Use your detective skills to make sense of a grand mystery that unfolds across an age of hallucinogens, disco, fax machines and parapsychology.

Two hundred years after the unspeakable fate of the Cloudsley family, the Idol's legend lives on only in whispers and myth… but some are determined for this to change. Discover the mysterious forces connecting a tenacious treasure hunter, a team of scientists, the members of an enlightenment-seeking cult and corporate profiteers drawn to the all-powerful artifact.

The Rise of the Golden Idol is a new type of detective game where you freely explore each crime scene at your own pace, using logic to build your own theories. Click to collect clues and analyze each discovery to determine what happened, why, and who was responsible.

Convicted prisoners, new age cult leaders, corporate middle management and many more figures have a role to play in the wider mystery that unfolds — each driven by their own agenda. Scour each scene for key details to put names to faces and deduce their motives.

A reworked interface lets you quickly gather key terms from observations and witness testimonies, greatly expanding the depth and variety of each scenario. Upon the conclusion of each chapter, a new type of puzzle lets you revisit past deductions, recap the events of these interconnected cases, and investigate the threads that unify them.

An exceedingly vast improvement to its predecessor game: Case of the Golden Idol. There is an abundance of content to be played and Rise of the Golden Idol does a particularly great job with its storytelling! Having played the previous game isn't necessarily a requirement to be able to enjoy this one, BUT I will at least say that playing it DOES make some moments much more gripping as you take your own detective-journey through the events that take place in this game. Should you decide to buy the DLC for this, I would say HIGHLY recommend making sure you play through Case of the Golden Idol first. Buyer be wary, though, as certain parts of the DLC are WAY... I don't want to say 'tougher' but I don't want to say they feel like complete leaps in logic either... but I'd also say these moments are in the vast minority in the DLC. Just know that if there's a couple of points where you feel stuck, you're not alone. I can't stress enough how interesting the lore of this series is. It's to the point where after having played through all the content I STILL feel the urge to make an unhinged diagram to puzzle out interconnected details between stories. It really takes you for a wild ride!
意味隽永的续作。如果金偶像的故事是一个贪婪野心家的创举,这就是一个纯粹理想主义者的悲剧。前者用尽一切来谋取私利,最终输给自己的欲望和一个可笑的小丑;而后者是一个一心拥有高尚理想的智者,怀揣着纯粹的好意在错误的道路上一路狂奔...但同样没有酿成大错,而只是反噬自己。可怜的艾萨克,真不知道他会想些什么。 游戏性角度上,一如既往的优秀。但谜题设计上不如一代优雅紧密。文法上略有疏离,再加上糟糕的中文翻译,给游玩带来了一定困难,不看攻略很难通关。当然,整体还是瑕不掩瑜的优秀作品。
推理爽
把汉化包的问题解决好,就是当之无愧的神作了。
超越前作的又一神作 究极推理爽 八分半的优秀游戏 [b]为了游戏体验,请一定要打汉化补丁![/b] [list] [*]谈谈优点: 1.绝对对得起价格,体量比前作大了很多很多,内容、人物、画面和音乐融和得非常不错。多了很多动画CG,气氛极佳,拥有更丰富的文本与世界观,很喜欢解开谜题后补充设定的照片或文件,无痛获得无与伦比的代入感和成就感。角色史诗级增多但没有重复感,美术还是太强劲了,人多也表示脸盲和记忆不佳的人完蛋了。 2.谜题比起前作有很多创新,迷题的升级也意味着难度的升级,本来看见这作有提示还激动了一下,结果气笑了,这里不赘述了。提示有升级,基本不用担心会漏信息。UI设计有升级,更方便查看证据与填写工作。总体来说游戏性的优化与升级差强人意。 3.故事性拉满了,每一章的信息量都巨大,小故事都可以作为新游戏再制作的程度。 缺点(含剧透): 0.官方汉化十分差劲,影响游玩。 1.这作非常喜欢玩倒叙,直到最后才能厘清全部时间线,喜欢前作的有难了,本作与前作可以说关系不大的同时彩蛋也极少。本作的逻辑并不严密,一些人物动机让人挠头,导致部分故事结局更像天意发力,强行推进。主线不是很明晰,黄金像的登场姗姗来迟不说,已沦为剧情的玩具,震撼远不比前作。 UI查看信息一点全收集这里还是有点问题,会不记得信息出处疯狂找,希望下一部有改进。 2.本作的人物塑造时好时坏,想半天给我印象深刻的竟然是DLC1中的探员罗伊。登场人物实在太多了,反派/主角(?)的说服力不足,魅力近乎于无。每个人都像神经病,每个人对黄金像的动机都像灵机一动,“哎呀实在没招了,那我们抢黄金像吧”的莫名感。 3.我会永恨在推理游戏外国人的名姓问题,UI啥时候把名姓分开,坏菜了不会只有我一个人为外国人名姓所扰吧,这该死的完形填空推对名姓的容错率不高啊555。由于内容升级,推理事件的时候真的很崩溃啊,本作支线剧情也很难绷。 是的,我连DLC一起吃完了。 DLC1:推荐,主线十分明确,比本体明确。故事完整,剧情跌宕,想象力与画风并存,好玩好玩。 DLC2:强推荐,与本体相关联,有一代作品的神韵,对前作DLC的争皇位的小call back,算是本体的小前传。[spoiler] 遗憾不是皇位争夺战了,是复仇记来的。 [/spoiler] DLC3:不推荐,快跑.jpg。整体像嗑多了,们雷姆利亚都是这种高层是怎么活到现在的。开篇色彩饱和度太高了,整个故事十分抽象,人物动机成谜,我get不到,最难受的一集。 DLC4:推荐,两代探险家的故事,[spoiler] 致敬奥伯拉丁的回归,竟让我升起别样的...咳咳。 [/spoiler]故事有点虎头蛇尾,比起其它的DLC流程比较短,难度全在船上那一段。结局是也十分抽象,但看CG还有伏笔。 [/list] 好了,总体是佳作,好吃爱吃下次还吃,什么时候出3,已追更,勿辜负。
好玩的!!!虽然有些时候一头雾水,都是看到题面反推发生了什么事,但想通之后恍然大悟的感觉还是爽!
A nice deduction game. I can see why it's highly raved but I felt that many of the puzzles required a very huge leap in cognitive reasoning to solve, and the intentional lack of ordering of sub-chapters was unnecessary and made it less of a joy to make sense of what was going on in the plot.
전작보다 콘텐츠는 더 많아진 후속작 게임은 재미있으나 여전히 번역으로 인해 추리하기가 힘든 점도 있다 또 하나 아쉬운 점이라면 전작보다 이미 풀었던 스테이지로 이동하는게 느려져서 아쉽다
It's similar to the case of the golden idol, but with a bigger focus on the overarching plot towards the end, where it becomes necessary to reassess all information received during the game to figure out what happened. Otherwise more of the same, that is to say excellent set pieces to dissect and plenty of varied dots to connect.
추리게임으로 나름 괜찮음. 하지만 메인 스토리에 큰 흥미를 못느낌. 번역 문제로 인한 힌트 추리에 결정적인 결함이 있음. 개인적으로는 soso
