The Case of the Golden Idol is a well written, engaging, and clever mystery game, with satisfying and intuitive gameplay mechanics to solve its puzzles. The art style and music are excellent as well, same with the humor to its writing style. The game is very fair and can be beat reasonably without the use of its hint system (I never needed it) and without needing to backtrack to other puzzles (though you're free to do so to refresh your memory on newly relevant details)

The oft-mentioned parallels to Obra Dinn are unmistakable and also a compliment, more games should emulate this general style and I look forward to what these good people put out next!
