Acclaimed puzzler The Case of the Golden Idol gets second expansion, The Lemurian Vampire

Known as The Lemurian Vampire, this expansion connects the game's previous expansion Spider of Lanka directly to the main game. «The only thing that stands in your way, is the mysterious Tower Dweller and its powerful Golden artefact,» developer Color Gray Games teased.
The Lemurian Vampire consists of three new scenarios to mull over, as you «follow the perilous journey of the Lemurian delegation to Monkey Paw Island». These delegates are on the search for the fountain of youth (aren't we all?), and of course any riches that may be hidden along the way.

The Lemurian Vampire is now available on Steam for £4.49 (it is currently 10 percent off, and its normal price will be £4.99). It also available on Nintendo Switch. As a reminder, the base game is required to play.
