New UI & Hint System
Returning players should notice an overhaul to the UI, which should improve readability and navigation, especially at smaller resolutions. Additionally, there are now markers that indicate what objects can be interacted with, so no more guessing or using guides when you get stuck.
Steam Deck Support
Support for Steam Deck is now in beta. In addition to running smoother, the UI and text should now scale to appropriately fit the screen size. Once the review process completes, The Case of the Golden Idol will be listed as a Verified title on the store and in your library, a process we expect to take a few weeks.
For Nintendo Switch Owners - The new release of The Case of the Golden Idol: Complete Edition will need to be manually claimed on the Nintendo eShop, and is free for all current owners. This rerelease includes all of the above changes and addresses an infrequent issue that caused some players to lose all save progress.
And finally…
A thanks from Team Idol & Playstack for all the support for the Golden Idol over the past couple years. We hope you enjoy the demo and can’t wait for everyone to check out The Rise of the Golden Idol when it releases next month.
