Throughout their adventure, three different cases will have to be solved to progress in the plot. Like the base game, The Spider of Lanka will ask you to activate your gray matter, because the writing of the title is as fine as it is subtle, despite its artistic direction which is disconcerting. In the background, the Spider of Lanka weaves a heinous plot that it will be up to you to unravel. The Color Gray Games team promises to cross “many faces, unknown or familiar“.”Immerse yourself in a complex set of personalities and conflicting motivations as you wander through palatial courtyards, throne rooms, docks and other dark alleys in search of clues to the mystery that lies within.” reads the press release.
Police soap opera
The title of the extension is prefaced, on Steam, by the mark Golden Idol Mysteries. If we dared to draw an inference from this, we would suggest that the team at Color Gray Games will continue to flesh out their investigation simulator over time, adding enough narrative satellites to transform The Case of the Golden Idol in an anthology. No official press release has gone in this direction for the moment.
The Spider of Lanka will be available on May 4, less than a week from now. The base game will be required to function.
