The Golden Idol series has evolved remarkably, transitioning from historical mystery in the original Case of the Golden Idol to a gritty contemporary detective thriller with Rise of the Golden Idol. Fans eager for more can soon dive into the series' first expansion chapter arriving March 4th!
While available on PC, Rise of the Golden Idol also shines as a mobile exclusive in the Netflix Games collection. The Sins of New Wells thrusts detective Roy Samson into the corruption-laden 9th District, where he and partner Cliff Savea must unravel a series of horrific killings that hint at ancient Lemurian occult forces.
What sets the series apart are its innovative puzzle mechanics - players connect contextual clues and evidence across different investigational modes. Scrutinizing crime scenes reveals crucial details you'll piece together to reconstruct events and uncover hidden truths.

Building the case
The Golden Idol series stands out in the point-and-click genre for constantly evolving its gameplay systems. The inventive approach to evidence gathering and mystery-solving makes this DLC particularly intriguing. However, the game's unexpectedly deep mythology might prove challenging for newcomers to fully grasp.
Regardless, this expansion represents another strong addition to Netflix Games' growing catalog of quality titles. Curious about other standout offerings? Explore our current ranking of the 10 best games available on Netflix today.
