As a long-time fan of The Rise of the Golden Idol, I cannot help but feel a sense of excitement and nostalgia as I learn about the upcoming release of City of Voices. Having spent countless hours piecing together clues and unraveling intricate mysteries in the Golden Idol universe, it’s truly heartening to see one of its creators branch out with a new project that promises similar deductive gameplay mechanics.
The story of a young girl navigating bullying and self-discovery in England before embarking on a fantastical adventure sounds like a compelling premise, one that I believe will resonate with many players. I’m intrigued by the prospect of exploring a new world and uncovering secrets frozen in time.
I must admit, I was initially concerned about the idea of “stealing” mechanics from The Rise of the Golden Idol, but hearing Will Ackermann’s account of receiving permission from the original developers puts my mind at ease. It’s a testament to the enduring legacy of the game and its creators that they would be flattered by such an endeavor.
I eagerly await more details on City of Voices, including a release date and perhaps even some sneak peeks at the stunning pixel art by Matt Frith. Until then, I’ll keep my detective hat on and my eyes peeled for any updates. And to lighten the mood, let me leave you with this: I hope that City of Voices will be so good, it makes The Rise of the Golden Idol green with envy!
In simple terms, the creator behind The Rise of the Golden Idol has unveiled a new project titled City of Voices. This upcoming game is being developed in partnership with Kimi Games, his own studio, and pixel artist Matt Frith. Essentially, it’s been described as having similarities to The Rise of the Golden Idol.
As described on its Steam page, this game tells the story of a young girl living in England who faces bullying at school. Initially, City of Voices seems like an ordinary adventure set in everyday life, but it later delves into something more magical and fantastical. Similar to The Rise of the Golden Idol, players are tasked with uncovering frozen-in-time clues to piece together the series of events that have unfolded.
Designer Will Ackermann confirmed that he has consulted with developers Andrejs and Ernests Kļaviņš on The Rise of the Golden Idol project. Ackermann received approval from them to incorporate comparable deduction gameplay elements, as seen in City of Voices, into his design.
In his statement, he shared that he felt rather anxious when approaching Andrejs and Ernests, the creators of those games, with a request to adapt their mechanics – essentially borrow them. Fortunately, they found the idea pleasing.
To date, City of Voices has merely been unveiled for PC platforms, and as of now, a release date remains undisclosed. In our review for TopMob’s Rise of the Golden Idol, we noted that “a reduction in homicides diminishes the tension, however, The Rise of the Golden Idol continues to be an engaging detective game where logical reasoning takes center stage.
