The Case of the Golden Idol - Redux update available now!

Last week we announced a new update coming to The Case of the Golden Idol - called Redux. Learn more about that announcement here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1677770/view/4677641741933164088 The update is available today for all current (and future) owners of The Case of the Golden Idol. You should be prompted to update the next time you launch the game, and choose either the classic or Redux version to launch. While this update features no new playable cases or scenarios, it introduces a number of new features that make it a smoother experience overall. We understand that some players may prefer the "classic" version free of these changes, which is why we are shipping this as an optional launch parameter for all players. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1677770/The_Case_of_the_Golden_Idol/ Here are some highlights from the Redux update.

12 supported languages:


English (US) French Italian German Spanish (Latin America) Spanish (Spain) Portuguese (Brazil) Japanese Korean Polish Turkish Chinese (Traditional) *Chinese (Simplified) will be made available at a later date.

New UI & Hint System


Returning players should notice an overhaul to the UI, which should improve readability and navigation, especially at smaller resolutions. Additionally, there are now markers that indicate what objects can be interacted with, so no more guessing or using guides when you get stuck.

Steam Deck Support


Support for Steam Deck is now in beta. In addition to running smoother, the UI and text should now scale to appropriately fit the screen size. Once the review process completes, The Case of the Golden Idol will be listed as a Verified title on the store and in your library, a process we expect to take a few weeks. For Nintendo Switch Owners - The new release of The Case of the Golden Idol: Complete Edition will need to be manually claimed on the Nintendo eShop, and is free for all current owners. This rerelease includes all of the above changes and addresses an infrequent issue that caused some players to lose all save progress.

Moving Forward


Today, we also announced that the sequel, The Rise of the Golden Idol, will be launching on all platforms on November 12, 2024. Check out the release date trailer here for a sneak peak at what's coming next. [previewyoutube=BlOOlkAc4N4;full][/previewyoutube] And for those who can't wait, we also released a new extended demo ahead of Steam Next Fest, available to play right now. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2716400/The_Rise_of_the_Golden_Idol/ Lastly - thank you for the ongoing support over the past couple years. We can't wait for everyone to check out The Rise of the Golden Idol when it releases next month. Wishlist, follow, tell a friend, etc. - Team Idol

Announcing The Case of the Golden Idol Redux

Hello Detectives, A lot has happened since the original release of The Case of the Golden Idol back in 2022. Outside of two DLC expansions, we released home console ports on Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. Additionally, through our partnership with Netflix, we brought all available Golden Idol content to mobile devices. Along the way, a lot of improvements were made to the original game as a result of porting the game to a new engine. An overhaul to the UI, a new hint system, 13 new localizations, readability and save improvements, and dozens more quality-of-life changes make The Case of the Golden Idol a much more seamless and enjoyable experience to play, especially on Steam Deck. In the spirit of making sure every version of The Case of the Golden Idol is the definitive version to play, on October 10 we will ship a free update that will provide all of these enhancements to the original Golden Idol experience on Steam. All owners of The Case of the Golden Idol will receive the Redux version completely free of charge, and will be included in all future purchases of the game.

Steam


After this update is live, players will receive a prompt when launching the game asking which version they wish to play - The original version as it is currently, or the Redux release which includes the improvements made above. Additionally, you can transfer your progress from the original to the Redux version, so detectives can pick up after the last case that has been completed.

Console


The Nintendo Switch version of the game will be delisted and no longer available for purchase on October 9, and replaced with this new Redux rerelease. Anyone that owns or purchases the current version of Case on this platform before this date will retain the ability to play this version, and will be granted the Redux release of the Complete Edition free of charge - although the Switch version does not include support for save transfer. The Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 releases are built on this Redux framework, so nothing will change here. We hope that the addition of these features, new languages, and better support for Steam Deck will allow more players to experience The Case of the Golden Idol. Lastly, dont forget to wishlist and follow The Rise of the Golden Idol, we will have some big announcements to share very soon. - Team Idol https://store.steampowered.com/app/2716400/The_Rise_of_the_Golden_Idol/

Sequel announced! (Plus 30% discount)

[previewyoutube=DJ2rRV2oXH0;full][/previewyoutube] 300 years have passed since the series of tragedies befell the Cloudsley bloodline. Stories of the iconic Golden Idol have all but become myths and legends. Those who once coveted the Idol and the supernatural power it possesses are gone - but not entirely forgotten. While the rest of the world is distracted by the lights and music of the 1970s, a tenacious relic hunter listens to the whispers of stories rarely told of an artifact that can reshape the world - and the trail of destruction it leaves in its wake. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2716400/The_Rise_of_the_Golden_Idol We could not be more thrilled to share with you our new game in the Golden Idol saga. And to celebrate the announcement, we are launching a special 30% discount on The Case of the Golden Idol!
