神ゲーを手頃にできるwith critical bug

netflixの時に解ききれなかったのでできてよかったです！続編期待！素晴らしいゲームでしたが、日本語版における致命的な誤植が放置されていて進行に支障をきたします。いかにネタバレを含むバグ報告をします。

チャプター11の3つ目(午後)にデイビッドがウォルターを殺したというのが正解として扱われていますが、実際は逆です。1日の要約の部分ではちゃんとウォルターが殺したことになっていますが、だからこそ正解同士が矛盾してしまってクリアが論理的に不可能です。あとチャプター11をクリアした時の説明文(大砲を打った件)がiPadだと画面に収まらなくて読めません

( English version)
It was an excellent game, but a critical typo in the Japanese version has been left unfixed, making it impossible to progress. I will report a bug below that contains spoilers.

In Chapter 11, the third section (afternoon), the game treats “David killed Walter” as the correct answer, but the actual answer is the opposite: Walter killed David.

In the “summary of the day” section, it correctly states that Walter was the one who killed him. However, because of this contradiction between the two correct answers, it is logically impossible to complete the game.

Also, the explanation text shown after clearing Chapter 11 (the part about firing the cannon) cannot be read on iPad Air m2(11 inc) because it does not fit on the screen.

Great game with weird glitch

10/10 game. Worth the money.

It has a glitch where the game will lock you out sometimes even after you pay for it.

Thank you so much for your beautiful review, Detective!

Short & Leading

Graphic and style wise this game is very delightful to behold. Gameplay wise, I did not move to purchase as it felt like there wasn’t much mystery or puzzle in each scene. Each clue is marked before exploring so it feels like your hand is being held and there’s nothing to chew on. Puzzle wise, it’s just very obvious blanks to fill in. It gave me the impression that I would spend around 7$ for a 15 min experience.

改悪

以前はNetflixからリリースされていて、激ハマリし何周もプレイしました。いつの間にか無くなっていて大ショック。。
復活してる！！！と大喜びでインストールしたものの、大好きな要素だったクリック感が無くなってるし、日本語設定なのに確認メッセージが中国語だし、なんだか別物になった気がしてガッカリ。課金してまでプレイする気が無くなってしまいました。
またNetflixから出てくれないかなぁ。。。泣

Hi there, thank you very much for your patience while we deal with this issue. This has now been fixed and the language selection uses the correct translations during the game now. Thank you again for your understanding.

Hello

I really enjoy the game, but I found an issue with the Korean language setting. Chinese characters appear when Korean is selected, and the translation feels a bit awkward and unnatural.

We are working on it and it is coming! I don't have a release date for you yet but it will be announced as soon as we can!

Definitely Need More of This!

I had to stop by to review this Collection before I finished the last Chapter that’s currently available. Love, love, love this! I’m amazed at how perfectly the difficulty is scaling up: Doable without hints, but one is not just zipping through these scenes without some careful thought! As others have said, not initially my favorite graphics style, but, oddly, it has kind if grown on me as I’ve played. . . . I have had a few issues moving between Chapters, but these always resolved when I closed and reopened the game. Totally worth the purchase price! Let’s come up with some more quirky characters, please! Can’t wait to investigate the next mystery!

Won’ save

Every time the app quits it loses all progress. I’ve played the first two scenes several times. It always starts as if I’ve just installed it. I’ve tried deleting and re-installing. At this point, the game is unplayable.

Fun!😇

I had a lot of fun playing this. The puzzles cause you to think, but are not difficult to the point you get frustrated. The storylines also are super interesting and kept me engaged. I also really liked the art style!!

Would recommend!

On veut la suite !

Un jeu d’enquête qui met les méninges à l’épreuve.
J’avais commencé la version Netflix, qui a été retirée ainsi que sa suite.
J’étais extrêmement content de le retrouver sur l’Appstore et ait payé volontiers la petite somme demandée.
J’ai adoré ce jeu, rien n’est impossible à résoudre si on observe tous les détails, et c’est extrêmement gratifiant de trouver la solution.
Une pépite, n’hésitez pas à l’acheter si vous aimez la démo.
Maintenant, on ne peut qu’espérer que sa suite arrive vite sur l’Appstore, le jeu est très bien adapté au format iPad.

The Case of the Golden Idol

Ich habe zwar nur die ersten beiden Fälle gespielt, weil ich nicht das ganze Spiel kaufen wollte aber von dem was ich gesehen habe ist das Spiel echt sehr gut gemacht. Die Stories wurden sind sehr gut gestaltet und es macht auch echt Spaß. Außerdem sind die ersten beiden Fälle auch nicht zu schwierig. Sehr empfehlenswert es mal auszuprobieren.

Best mystery point and click puzzles ever

I rarely write reviews on the App Store, but this is for my favorite game. I played The Rise of the Golden Idol on Netflix and fell in love with it. Unfortunately, it was unavailable in my region after I had finished half the game (I cannot find it anywhere else on mobile). Then after a long time, this masterpiece was released and I immediately purchased it and it was worth every penny.

It is very smart that the way the hints are placed and the backstory all link together. Solvable but also hard enough to keep me playing and find out the secrets behind.

I really hope that The Rise of the Golden Idol and its DLCs could be downloaded on the App Store soon because it is very convenient to play on a phone. Love this franchise so much.
