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.

十分優秀的推理作品, 故事引人入勝, 我認為比一代更吸引我
Je n'ai malheureusement pas accroché à ce deuxième opus.
good
great game
神作的续作,依旧是神作。 金偶像的完形填空解谜真的是一个很难有代餐的玩法,山就在那里,每个人都知道该怎么爬,但只有他们自己能再爬上去。 相比于上一代,这一代其实做了挺多的创新。我印象中一代的玩法就是填名字和对应人物,然后填故事发生了什么以及金偶像符号的含义。这种方法其实很多时候挺吃电波的,因为其实没太多的引导,就这些信息,你需要推测出故事的完整全貌。而二代在这一方面是有至少我挺满意的改动的,那就是需要填的类型更多了,比如填叉车的主人、房间的归属等等,通过这种类型的填空不仅会有玩法上的新鲜感,而且其实也是一种官方的引导,因为一代的时候把所有东西都放进一张纸中,有时候错误了都不知道是哪一部分出现问题,现在这种拆分成好几个部分,可以更好的确定每一个部分。通过前面几种填空梳理清楚了信息,从而能够更好的去完成最后的故事全貌补全。另外的话,相比于一代最后进行的一个大总结,这一代在每一章都会进行一个总结,这样子对每一章的内容和逻辑和主要的内容也会理解的更加准确一些。最后的话也是依旧将整个本篇所有故事串联到一起,虽然我依旧没有完全靠自己解出所有答案,但还是玩的很爽。 不过的话,从这一代可以明显看出来,时代发展(?)对金偶像的限制。在一代时,中世纪的背景下,金偶像作为一个神器,被无数人争相争夺,用以建造宗教发展国家,串联起了整个故事。但是在这一代其实感觉金偶像在人们心中的地位已经降低了许多,人们不再去将金偶像作为所有事件的中心和动机,这一代中人们对金偶像的使用其实有点没有想象力了,感觉这一代的金偶像没有上一代那么夺目,这一代刻画的重点不再是金偶像,而是利用金偶像的每个人。而对金偶像也没有像第一代那样太多的研究和调研,在四个dlc中,金偶像的能力更是被限制了,每个dlc中,金偶像的符号搭配是固定的,它不再是人们欲望追求的中心,而沦为了人们追求欲望使用的一个工具,人们不再去仔细的研究它,而是知晓了其中一个功能后就仅仅只利用这个功能,最后一个dlc中,金偶像更是几乎隐身了连研究都没人研究。 因此,如果有下一代,我猜可能会将故事再往前推进,下一代的故事线可能会在第一代再往前。许愿到时候会不会在中国发生些故事,感觉会很有意思的~这一代的故事还是玩的很满意的,期待下一次的作品!(哦对了,希望下一作的汉化能好好搞,不要再像这次一样被民间汉化薄纱了~)
[h1] 常见商业性续作,较之一代推理加强,幽默、优雅、美学尽失 [/h1] 二代从立项开始就关注了,然demo主题谜题美术之平庸与一代迥然,令人失望到几乎想要痛哭一场,深刻怀疑主创团队是否换血,答案是并没有,依然是Kļaviņš兄弟。demo后果断把这游戏甩了,奈何后来的完形解谜游戏尽归于乏味形式主义,奥博拉丁和金偶像终究无法替代,还是来玩了Rise。 玩下去发现序章风格有些误导了,冷战背景、探员调查、神秘疾病、官商阴谋这些元素确实在侦探故事中频繁到令人厌烦,而缺乏风格、平铺信息的美术设计也让人怀疑这与文游无异;但随着场景进展主题丰富起来,看似不相关的案件中碎片如经纬纵横逐渐勾连,游戏变得有趣起来了!推理上依然需要大量场间和场外思考,进一步应用了金偶像规则,登场人物更复杂,系统更多面,更强调信息链了,尤其鸟舍、Lemuria博物馆等几个精彩场景,还是有一些一代的初见戏剧震撼的。 如果没玩1只玩了2,毫无疑问Rise是推理上的极优秀作,但和Case相比,Rise的初见冲击和玩后余味都弱得多,二者差别就像雕塑和魔方,有着根本上设计逻辑的差别: 1. 一代首先独特在主题和美学上,Case是个版画风格的讽刺寓言,用怪诞夸张的静态插画描绘18世纪贵族腐败、殖民掠夺、宗政乌托邦理想,金偶像作为一条脉络贯穿全局,连接起所有人的荒诞而悲剧性的命运,这种强力的、相匹配的编年式叙事和美术与解谜结合,推理全程都在给人美的震动;二代呢?二代几乎完全剔除了一代幽暗怪诞的美学范式,办公室阴谋、电视广告、黑心企业、大众传媒都是熟悉的视觉配方,无法与现实拉开距离,凝固戏剧性瞬间的版画风格也消失了,画面变成了70年代的工业广告说明书……不安消解,庸常迭来,均匀罗列的图像元素多数是文字信息的附庸,如1代般观察构图、观察人物服饰神态姿势以分析来龙去脉的成分急剧降低,最明显的特征就是1代解谜靠看图,2代几乎就是视窗间不断拖拽比对关键词(UI设计也有大问题),新闻发布会、监狱、港口几个图,典型的先编推理线再绘图,射箭画靶,索然无味。 2. 二代玩法凌驾全局导致失衡。前面也说了,Case因为主题美学和玩法的极度耦合让这作品变成了一个怪物级的工艺品puzzle;而Rise一切环节服务于把推理流程复杂化,包括不仅限于灵机一动鸡零狗碎的事件、上下楼打卡似的场景图像,乱七八糟人物设置更是如此,明显缺乏一代的灵魂核心。每个人物说是各怀鬼胎,实际目的都非常明显,各幕间具有流动性是好的,首尾相衔的大圆也非常精彩,但人物采取的行动和其动机却常因过于庸俗而让人觉得离谱——与idol逆天的力量相比,人类应用它的想象力是多么匮乏!难道足以影响意志的力量就只能就用于敛财、逐权和人类补完吗?而金偶像这个曾连接起不同时代所有角色理想与贪婪的象征,最终也仅成为了谜题的一部分,一个讽刺微笑的密码机关。 说到底,2代这个薄弱的现代闹剧底座已经沦为推理游戏的布景板,抱着1的心态来玩2,势必是失望的。新·本·格罢了。 Rise在玩法上的擢升、艺术性的下降毋庸置疑,这几乎也是所有续作游戏的通病。小众作品一旦进入商业化阶段,势必削减个性以匹配市场工业化需求。是矣金偶像哪怕具有通天之能,也无法改变消费市场的规律。
礼貌推荐,但是本地化稀烂,特别是DLC的部分对游戏体验的影响极其严重,英文特有的语法点不同的地方会在中文和日文中翻译为同样的选项,当你把同样的词拖过去后会提示你不是全部正确,需要中途切换到英文。不管怎么说请个好点的翻译吧
