Changing the Game

Using assets from the museum in the shipped game, artist Josh Crandall rebuilt part of the museum in Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) as a personal project.

In September of 2015, HeR Interactive released a concept video of what Labyrinth of Lies and future Nancy Drew games could look like in the Unity engine. Many fans weren't pleased with the outcome and were worried about getting motion sickness from the game should it perform the way it does in the demonstrational video.

Characters

Xenia Doukas

Playing the lead role in the performance of Persephone in Winter, Xenia is a talented actress who is also the show’s director. She keeps busy with her work on the play, but is her sweet personality and demanding workload blinding Xenia from what’s truly going on behind the scenes? Or is her obsession with being a great actress masking her true intentions?

Niobe Papadaki

Niobe plays the role of Demeter, Persephone’s mother, but is also the show’s prop and stage artist. She has a strong interest in the museum’s artifacts and is referencing the pieces for onstage props and design. Terrified of being onstage, Niobe tends to keep to herself and focus on her work. But has Niobe been observing more than just artwork? Could she possibly shed some light on her other observations at the museum?

Thanos Ganas

Hades, Greek god of the underworld, is large and intimidating, much like the actor who portrays him. Thanos lingers under the set, keeping an eye on all the stage hydraulics and making sure that the sets are working properly. He doesn’t like you snooping under the stage and is very protective of the set. Is there more to reveal in the underworld than Thanos is letting on?

Grigor Karakinos

Cast as Hermes the Messenger, Grigor is also the stage manager and technician for the play. He works backstage with the lights, lifts, and other various stage assets. Charming and talkative, Grigor seems to know everyone and everything that’s going on. He may be helpful for picking up interesting information, but is he holding anything back?

Melina Rosi

The curator of the museum, Melina Rosi, has called you in to assist with the exhibit in time for the grand opening and upcoming play. Her museum staff are mysteriously abandoning their roles. However, Melina is undeterred and will do whatever it takes to hunt down the truth. No one is closer to the artifacts than Melina, but could she be hiding her true involvement in the missing exhibit pieces?

Frank and Joe Hardy

Returning as phone contacts, the Hardy Boys are available to help you with your case. They can provide vital information regarding Greek myths and can shed additional light on the actors and the museum.
