Learn more about that announcement here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1677770/view/4677641741933164088 The update is available today for all current (and future) owners of The Case of the Golden Idol. You should be prompted to update the next time you launch the game, and choose either the classic or Redux version to launch. While this update features no new playable cases or scenarios, it introduces a number of new features that make it a smoother experience overall. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1677770/The_Case_of_the_Golden_Idol/ Here are some highlights from the Redux update. [h3]12 supported languages:[/h3] English (US) French Italian German Spanish (Latin America) Spanish (Spain) Portuguese (Brazil) Japanese Korean Polish Turkish Chinese (Traditional) *Chinese (Simplified) will be made available at a later date. [h3]New UI & Hint System[/h3] Returning players should notice an overhaul to the UI, which should improve readability and navigation, especially at smaller resolutions. Additionally, there are now markers that indicate what objects can be interacted with, so no more guessing or using guides when you get stuck. [h3]Steam Deck Support[/h3] Support for Steam Deck is now in beta. In addition to running smoother, the UI and text should now scale to appropriately fit the screen size. Once the review process completes, The Case of the Golden Idol will be listed as a Verified title on the store and in your library, a process we expect to take a few weeks. [b]For Nintendo Switch Owners[/b] - The new release of The Case of the Golden Idol: Complete Edition will need to be manually claimed on the Nintendo eShop, and is free for all current owners. This rerelease includes all of the above changes and addresses an infrequent issue that caused some players to lose all save progress. [h3]And finally…[/h3] A thanks from Team Idol & Playstack for all the support for the Golden Idol over the past couple years.
