"After spending nearly 10 hours on The Rise of the Golden Idol's story, one of my biggest takeaways is its excellence in creating a spine-tingling atmosphere... The music is another major contributor to The Rise of the Golden Idol's atmosphere, as it generally becomes darker and loses its shape depending on what part of the story is being examined."
"It’s a basic but interesting look that is helped along by a fantastic soundtrack. Rise of the Golden Idol has no voice acting to speak of. The mood is set by the music and it does a fantastic job of capturing the mood of each stage. It changes from room to room where warranted and the “you’ve solved this” dings and fanfare are deeply satisfying."
"Some highlights for me include an aviary with a menacing menagerie of feathered predators, a soundstage where a talent show spirals into chaos, and a drive-in movie theater where all the attendees are in schlocky space-themed B-movie cosplay. This also leads to a lot of variety in the soundtrack as the music closely matches the vibe of each setting, including between different areas in the same level. Some songs are more memorable than others, but none ever felt grating"
