Step into the shoes of an 18th century detective and uncover the mystery behind twelve strange deaths spanning 40 years, all somehow connected.
Unmask the true killers in this sprawling narrative and discover their devious motives.
Observe closely and reconstruct each scene of death. Your skills of deduction can identify each suspect, motive and murder weapon.
Reveal the true nature of the mysterious Golden Idol and those who covet it. Follow the journey of a cursed aristocratic family as you untangle a web of deceit and villainy in your hunt for the truth behind this dark conspiracy.
A very fascinating and addicting game of point-and-click puzzles that are challenging but very satisfying. The story is never how you expect, so keeps your interest despite being stuck on a puzzle from time to time!
Very challenging, some times frustrating, but I loved the whole experience/story/puzzles. If you wanna try it, buy it with the DLCs. I'm looking forward to their new game on GOG.
If interactive mysteries are your thing you'll find it hard to do better. Extremely satisfying, logical puzzles and a quite good overarching narrative.
This is probably one of the best deduction games you'll find out there. You get all of the information you need to figure out what happened in each era as you go through a series of vignettes concerning the titular Golden Idol. The interface cleverly lets you fill in the details as you deduce new information, by building sentences.
I really hope we eventually get the sequel, which is currently only available on Steam.
