If you're in the mood for a remarkably charming yet oddly bizarre game, you might want to give the freshly released The Case of the Golden Idol a chance. To put it simply, it's a Return of the Obra Dinn inspired detective game that will task you with unraveling the mystery behind a bunch of murders spanning 40 years, all of which are somehow connected.

In order to accomplish this you'll have to carefully recreate each scene of death with the evidence at hand, find which seemingly unimportant clues are a part of a much greater conspiracy, and with a bit of luck, bring the killers to justice. What all of this looks like in action, however, that you can get a pretty good idea of through the launch trailer below. Have a gander:

Speaking of luck, Steam has just launched the indie showcase festival which has brought with it a whole bunch of demos for a whole bunch of quality indie games - one of which is The Case of the Golden Idol! So if you're still not sure where exactly you stand with The Case of the Golden Idol, I'd highly recommend giving the free demo a try while it's still around. And if you need a bit more convincing, allow me to just point out that The Case of the Golden Idol currently holds a 100% approval rating on Steam with 106 reviews!

You can give the demo a look, as well as read a whole bunch of the aforementioned player reviews, over at Steam. Have fun!
