Author: Noah May 05,2025

The highly anticipated DLC for Rise of the Golden Idol, titled The Lemurian Phoenix, is set to launch on May 13th. This latest addition to the game promises an expansive storyline, unfolding over five chapters, that follows a chain of events triggered by a murder in 1910, which ripples through the decades. With its intricate blend of cursed treasures, ancient civilizations, and contemporary mysteries, Rise of the Golden Idol—the sequel to the acclaimed Case of the Golden Idol—continues to captivate players with its unique take on the murder mystery genre.

Rise of the Golden Idol reinvents the point-and-click adventure format, inviting players to delve into crime scenes, gather keywords, and piece together the who, what, and why of each grisly mystery. The game melds human motives with ancient tech, ensuring that each investigation is as unpredictable as it is engaging.

While developer Color Gray Games remains tight-lipped about the specifics of The Lemurian Phoenix, they've tantalized fans with a cryptogram revealing the names of the five new chapters: Eternity's End, Ascension, Royal Blood, Revelation, and A Blaze of Glory. These titles hint at themes of religious zeal, charismatic leaders, and intense power struggles, setting the stage for an enthralling addition to the game.

Mark your calendars for May 13th when The Lemurian Phoenix will be available for purchase. Holders of the Detective Pass and those playing via Netflix Games can enjoy this DLC at no extra cost.
