Return Of The Obra Dinn-Inspired Game The Case Of The Golden Idol Hits Android

The wickedly good detective mystery game The Case of the Golden Idol is now out on Android, courtesy Netflix Games. It’s a point-and-click murder mystery and adventure puzzle game that dropped in 2022 on PC. You can play this one on your phone now, along with its two DLC packs, if you have a Netflix subscription.

The Case of the Golden Idol is developed by the Latvian brothers Ernests and Andrejs Kļaviņš under the banner Color Gray Games. It’s inspired by classics from the ’90s and also takes cues from titles like Return of the Obra Dinn.

What Is The Case Of The Golden Idol?

The game drops you into an 18th-century narrative that spans a gripping 40-year timeline. You switch between exploring intricate crime scenes and, in true detective style, piecing it all together in your head. Gather evidence and solve the puzzles to unravel an overarching story.

Every scene in The Case of the Golden Idol is a moment frozen in time, with looped animations. It’s super rewarding once you solve each chapter. You can expect many classic references to everything in the game. British imperialism, for instance.

There are eleven cases which you need to solve. You can tackle each chapter in two gameplay modes: Exploring and Thinking. And the two DLCs, ‘The Spider of Lanka’ and ‘The Lemurian Vampire,’ are perfect prequels that tie up the whole saga with a neat mystery. Here’s a trailer that’ll make you want to dive right in. Take a look at it!
