I am returning to the Let’s Play series on YouTube with the demo for The Case of the Golden Idol. This game is fun, and it makes me look dumb a few times. I can not wait for the full release on October 13th.

From the Dev, Color Gray Games: The Case of the Golden Idol is a narrative detective game set in an alternate 18th-century England where players must investigate 12 most strange and gruesome mysteries spanning forty years.

Access to ‘Halo Infinite’ provided to me by Microsoft/Xbox Canada for preview & review
