The eagerly anticipated DLC for Rise of the Golden Idol, titled The Lemurian Phoenix, is set to launch on May 13th. This expansive new content introduces an intriguing five-chapter narrative, tracing a chain of events ignited by a singular murder in 1910, unfolding over the subsequent decades. With its blend of cursed treasures, ancient civilizations, and modern-day mysteries and murders, Rise of the Golden Idol—the sequel to the acclaimed Case of the Golden Idol—continues to captivate players worldwide.

Rise of the Golden Idol reinvents the classic murder mystery within a point-and-click adventure framework. Players delve into scenes, piecing together keywords that unravel the mysteries of who, why, and how the crimes were committed. Yet, the game's complexity, combining human motives with ancient technology, ensures that each investigation is a challenging puzzle. Expect a blend of grisly murders and gripping mysteries where every character is a potential suspect.

While developer Color Gray Games keeps the specifics of The Lemurian Phoenix under wraps, they've tantalizingly released a cryptogram revealing the titles of the five new chapters: Eternity's End, Ascension, Royal Blood, Revelation, and A Blaze of Glory. These titles suggest themes of religious fervor, charismatic gurus, and intense power struggles, promising a thrilling addition to the game's lore.
