Acclaimed puzzler The Case of the Golden Idol coming to Nintendo Switch
eurogamer.netAcclaimed puzzle game The Case of the Golden Idol is coming to Nintendo Switch. After a period of PC exclusivity, the murder mystery head scratcher will be making its console debut next Thursday 25th May.
On its release, Switch players will be able to experience all of the game's redacted and perplexing scenarios in a whole new way, thanks to touchscreen controls. For those who don't want to get their screens all mucky, however, there is also a custom developed controller layout option for gathering up evidence. This Switch release also boasts an overhauled UI, for the «best user experience» when playing the game in either docked or handheld mode.
As well as the base game, Switch owners will also have the opportunity to get their hands on Golden Idol's first expansion — The Spider of Lanka. This DLC kicks off a year before The Case of the Golden Idol's first scenario, and follows the story of Albert Cloudsley and Oberon Geller as they make their maiden voyage to the Kingdom of Lanka.
Both The Case of the Golden Idol and The Spider of Lanka will be available to buy separately, or can be purchased via the Nintendo eShop as a discounted bundle.
