Good experience with a hefty price tag
The game has a fresh take on the point & click adventure genre. You no longer move a character around and guide him through a story by making him interact with the world. You become the silent observer of a story. You are presented with explorable scenes which capture certain moments and try to make sense of what is happening right now and what are the developments which led up to it. You observe. You watch people and their actions. You collect clues to your inventory. Finally, you bring all the puzzle pieces together to form a story: The Case Of The Golden Idol. While playing the game, I found the story telling the most interesting part. Some scenes are very relevant to the story, but you only later understand fully what their importance is. And even if I found the conclusion of the story somewhat lackluster, it felt very good not only to bring together each of the scenes but also the connection between them. I found the average level of difficulty very pleasing. The only real downside of this game is that it feels quite short. Well, it is not exactly short for this kind of game - it took me around 10 hours to solve the game (including DLCs) - but it kind of feels short with respect to the price tag.
