I discovered the original game through the GOG listing and I was blown away by how good the game was. The funky art, challenging puzzles, and interesting story made it the breakout hit of 2023. It's a shame the sequel skipped out releasing on GOG.
Played the first game via GOG because Obra Dinn is one of my favourite games and I knew it served as inspiration for Golden Idol. I loved it and intend to play the sequel soon. I would much rather buy it on a platform like GOG, whose guiding principles are much closer to my own, and in the process let some more of my money go towards more DRM-free games with downloadable installers.
The first game is fantastic, and especially when all the pieces of sub-stories come together and weave a mystery across decades, it beats obra dinn in my heart. Since "the case of the golden idol" is already here, why not bring the sequel? A must buy for me if it comes to gog.
