The Case Of The Golden Idolis a detective game in which you explore 2D scenes of grisly murders. As you click around, you’ll discover new words to add to your inventory, which you can then use to fill in your explanation of the crime. How did who get into whose room, which person was killed, and how did the murder take place?
These are the sorts of questions you’ll be answering across 12 different murders - and there’s a demo available now, if you want to start to work the case right away.
Here’s the latest trailer, which makes a strong - ahem - case for playing it:

The Case Of The Golden Idol is set in the 18th century and follows a “cursed aristocratic family”, with the 12 strange deaths you’re investigating spanning 40 years but all being somehow connected. It’s your job to uncover the “true killers” and their motives.
I also love the art style here, which is characterful, gruesome, and with its pixel shading, is reminiscent of classic Apple adventure games. Like a coloured-inDéjà Vu, maybe.
