It was good! The first chapter was a bit weaker than the second since the twist villain's identity feels rather spoonfed instead of requiring a careful deduction like in the second chapter, but both have their strengths. The net of betrayals and double crosses in Spider of Lanka was rather fun to untangle, while Lemurian Vampire ramps up the complexity by making each case take place over several snapshots in time. The only reason I'd consider these two weaker than original is how unpredictable each turn of the story in The Case Golden Idol was, displaying new levels of rottenness of the main characters you wouldn't even imagine them to possess. The DLCs, being a prequel story, cannot be allowed to have the same level of boldness as it has to converge in the place where the original had started. Still some good ass food for deduce-em-up enjoyers.
