    Personally I don't like the direction the game went. I thought it was gonna focus on the supernatural nature and mystery of the, you know... "GOLDEN IDOL", but it focused more on family drama and politics. There is only one twist in the story, and it makes you re-think *some* of the story bits (last third of the game), not the whole story. Still, on the "point and click, deductive" game that it was, it was pretty…

    A very cool deductive reasoning puzzle game that can get pretty obtuse at times but is for the most part very enjoyable to play. It has a great story with some very impressive narrative structuring tricks up its sleeve. I recommend playing with all the DLC too as it's one big story.
