The Lemurian Phoenix DLC is generating buzz for Rise of the Golden Idol by introducing five fresh cases packed with aristocratic banquets, secret cults, and a forty-year conspiracy—definitely not your average puzzle expansion. Players get complex mysteries, a host of suspicious socialites, and a setting where even lemurs are apparently untrustworthy. Priced at $5.99 or included in the Detective Pass, it’s designed for veterans and curious newcomers alike. Want to know how wild these high-society murders really get?
If you thought the mysteries of Rise of the Golden Idol were already tangled enough, just wait—Color Gray Games is back with its largest expansion yet, *Lemurian Phoenix*, set to launch May 13, 2025, across PC, consoles, and even Netflix mobile. That’s right, even your phone won’t save you from aristocratic secrets this time.
While the expansion is launching on multiple platforms, it’s worth noting that Nintendo Switch Platform: Exclusively for Nintendo Switch owners will have unique access to the DLC on their device. Players on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox can also experience the new content, ensuring that the game is available across all major platforms.]
With five fresh cases spanning four decades, from 1910 to 1950, the stakes have never been higher—or more convoluted. Players can expect to navigate lavish parties, decipher the secrets of ancient temples, and survive rituals that are probably not OSHA-approved.
Five new cases unravel across decades, from grand galas to forbidden temples—brace yourself for mysteries both decadent and dangerously unregulated.
The expansion’s main event? A high-society murder that kicks off a conspiracy stretching over forty years. It’s not just standard-issue deceit and backstabbing; there are charismatic gurus with suspiciously shiny teeth, prophecies from a lost civilization, and just enough royal intrigue to make you wonder if anyone in this kingdom actually sleeps at night.
Each new scenario—*Eternity’s End, Ascension, Royal Blood, Revelation,* and *A Blaze of Glory*—invites sleuths to untangle cryptic clues scattered across time. The puzzle complexity is dialed up, with interconnected mysteries demanding sharp deduction and maybe a second cup of coffee.
Environmental storytelling is front and center, bouncing players between the decadence of aristocratic galas and the ominous shadow of ancient rites. For $5.99, or included with the Detective Pass (which bundles all 2025 DLC and the original soundtrack at a discount), this expansion is hard to ignore.
Steam users can even grab 15% off during LudoNarraCon, and there’s a fireside chat with developer Andrejs Klavins on May 2, for anyone wishing to probe the mind behind the madness.
Marketing is in full swing, with coordinated press coverage and a “Nothing is as it seems” tagline—because, of course, it isn’t. Whether you’re a lore-hungry veteran or a new recruit drawn by the early twentieth-century intrigue, *Lemurian Phoenix* promises a tangled, timeline-hopping ride.
Just don’t trust anyone. Not even the lemurs.
