The Rise of the Golden Idol: The Age of Restraint DLC Launches on Nintendo Switch with Four New Scenarios

The critically-acclaimed detective adventure The Rise of the Golden Idol welcomes an exciting new chapter as developer Color Gray Games releases its latest downloadable content, Golden Idol Investigations: The Age of Restraint.

Available today for purchase on the Nintendo Switch eShop at $5.99, this DLC invites players to solve four all-new scenarios that venture into an alien world, deepening the mysterious lore surrounding the fabled Golden Idol artifact. Since its original debut on PC and subsequent arrival on Nintendo Switch, The Rise of the Golden Idol has been praised for its intricate puzzle design, narrative depth, and innovative approach to the deduction-based adventure genre.

The Age of Restraint DLC continues this tradition, expanding the universe with fresh storylines and challenging investigations for returning fans and new players alike. For the first time, The Age of Restraint transports players to ancient Lemuria—a civilization revered for its advanced technology yet haunted by the enduring flaws of humanity.

Here, an official inquisition squad is dispatched to confront the illicit use of Lemurian devices.

As they pursue their investigation, questions arise about whether even those tasked with upholding the law can resist the corrupting influence of the Idol.

Players are immersed in a world where technological innovation reigns, robots and abnormal creations abound, and truth is enforced with uncompromising authority. A representative overview from Color Gray Games highlights the DLC’s striking new setting: "When reports surface of unlawful Lemurian technology use, an elite squad investigates—only to face the difficult question of their own susceptibility to the Idol’s power.

Experience the civilization that forged the Golden Idol and witness the era during which the artifact itself was created.

Welcome to Lemuria, where technology pervades life and the crimes of humanity endure." Key features of the expansion include: - A vibrant high-tech world filled with robots and extraordinary experimental creations. - Gameplay set during Lemuria’s Age of Restraint, a time of severe penalties for unauthorized technology use, overseen by the Sentinel enforcers. - Innovations in communication, such as hologram-delivered secret messages, challenging players to decode complex clues in a society where spoken language has become obsolete. - Four new, uniquely designed scenarios that demand players adapt to an alien landscape while untangling motives and confronting new types of deception. - The chance to examine mysterious forbidden artifacts, requiring keen deduction to unravel hidden truths and expose the dangers lurking beneath good intentions. The Age of Restraint expands The Rise of the Golden Idol’s legacy as a must-play mystery adventure on Nintendo Switch.

With its fresh narrative threads, inventive world-building, and rigorous logic puzzles, this DLC stands as a testament to Color Gray Games’ continued innovation in the genre.

The expansion is available now on the Nintendo eShop, with more information on previous DLC accessible through official channels.
