Detective hit The Case of the Golden Idol returns to mobile after removal from Netflix Games

The acclaimed interactive mystery, which boasts “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews on Steam, has officially made its return to iOS and Android devices.

Publisher Playstack has announced the standalone re-release of the mobile version of The Case of the Golden Idol. The title has reappeared on the App Store and Google Play following its removal from the Netflix Games catalog earlier this year alongside several other high-profile projects.

The Case of the Golden Idol is a sophisticated point-and-click deduction game that tasks players with scrutinizing evidence and reconstructing complex timelines without any hand-holding. The narrative unfolds across 12 grisly deaths, spanning a 50-year period and revealing a dark, interconnected conspiracy.

This mobile edition offers a free-to-start model, allowing players to investigate the first two cases at no cost. The full experience is available via a single purchase, which unlocks the 12 primary scenarios, six bonus cases, and the popular expansions The Spider of Lanka and The Lemurian Vampire.

For those who prefer desktop gaming, The Case of the Golden Idol remains available on Steam. It currently holds a stellar 97% positive rating based on more than 8,800 user reviews, cementing its status as a modern classic in the detective genre.
