The Idol was lost — but not forgotten. In this followup to the award winning detective game The Case of the Golden Idol, you are an observer that must investigate 20 strange cases of crime, death and depravity - all somehow connected. Use your detective skills to make sense of a grand mystery that unfolds across an age of hallucinogens, disco, fax machines and parapsychology.

Two hundred years after the unspeakable fate of the Cloudsley family, the Idol's legend lives on only in whispers and myth… but some are determined for this to change. Discover the mysterious forces connecting a tenacious treasure hunter, a team of scientists, the members of an enlightenment-seeking cult and corporate profiteers drawn to the all-powerful artifact.

The Rise of the Golden Idol is a new type of detective game where you freely explore each crime scene at your own pace, using logic to build your own theories. Click to collect clues and analyze each discovery to determine what happened, why, and who was responsible.

Convicted prisoners, new age cult leaders, corporate middle management and many more figures have a role to play in the wider mystery that unfolds — each driven by their own agenda. Scour each scene for key details to put names to faces and deduce their motives.

A reworked interface lets you quickly gather key terms from observations and witness testimonies, greatly expanding the depth and variety of each scenario. Upon the conclusion of each chapter, a new type of puzzle lets you revisit past deductions, recap the events of these interconnected cases, and investigate the threads that unify them.
The Rise of the Golden Idol for PC starts at €5.03 at Difmark, 74% under the €19.50 of the official store — but that is a shared account, not a key of your own. If you want a key tied to your own account, the cheapest is €9.99 at Cdkeys Com.
That €5.03 already includes the Gocdkeys coupon, so apply it at checkout or the store will show you a higher price.
There are 29 offers across 19 stores, 28 of them in stock right now, which is what the price above is picked from.
It is €0.22 away from its all-time low (€4.81, back in May 2026).
That €9.99 key is at its usual price: no bargain, no spike.
Worked out from 1,543 daily records of the Steam Key for The Rise of the Golden Idol across 17 stores. See the full price history.
The price does not include each store's payment fees. The percentage is measured on the store price, without coupons, because that is how we record the history. The analysis only counts Key offers. Shared accounts, Steam Gift and physical editions stay out, because they are not the same product and their prices move differently.
With the shared account at Difmark you log into an account that already owns the game: it is the cheapest route, but it never becomes yours and the seller keeps the credentials. If they ever lose or change them, you lose access.
The key at Cdkeys Com costs €4.96 more, but you redeem it on your own account and the game stays there for good. That is the difference between renting and buying.
The 5 Steam Gift offers are pricier than the key and leave more room for error, because they depend on the region and on Steam friendship.
26 of the 29 offers work on US — the Global ones plus the ones issued for your own region.
26 outlets reviewed it and it averages 85 out of 100, with 92% recommending it.
