Not that we’ve had any indication that the exhibit is also about Persephone or anything like that. She tells that they’re putting a play on about Persephone to go along with the exhibit opening. Like Nancy wouldn’t have noticed if they were performing a whole scene up until now.Īnyway, the man (“Thanos”) wanders off, and we can talk to the woman, Xenia. I hate when characters overhear something suspicious and it turns out to be people rehearsing for a play. Something must be afoot! No, just kidding, they’re actors, and this is rehearsal. Nancy goes running into the “theater” and sees a woman shrieking for help, while a guy yells at her to be quiet. Also, in retrospect, why does Carson owe so many damn people favors? Like he’s just selling out his daughter’s labor left and right, my God.) (Also…lmao did Nancy get called to Greece just to help with a museum exhibit? Like there’s no one else in the country that can do that? We don’t even find out how she knows Melina, like she’s not even one of Carson’s old friends or anything. The Hardys promise to help us Frank tells us to investigate at the museum, and in the meantime, they’ll contact “the Network.” I assume they mean their dad, who has bailed them out of many mysteries before. They don’t clarify if they’re quitting or if there’s some kind of, like, rash of disappearing museum workers.
I can tell that the Hardy Boys are going to be a lot of help.Īpparently, apart from Melina’s disappearance, the museum’s staff has been dropping like flies in the lead-up to the exhibit opening. But we’ve arrived, and Melina’s missing! “Oh. Presumably she looked at Nancy’s resume and saw that we once escaped murder at a museum, and figured that was as good a qualification as any. Also, why do they look like they’re 12? We engage in some expositiony dialogue with them: someone named “Melina” called us to her museum in Greece, to help out with an exhibit. It’s like they wrote a game about my LIFE.Īaaand…fuck me, I forgot the Hardy Boys were in this. The epic crush of my middle school years was this Greek boy I went to school with. In this game, Nancy goes to Greece to solve a mystery.
It has a surprising and well-utilized twist that I enjoyed, and on the whole I’d rather a game be bland than overly ridiculous or overly heavy. After the excellence that was previous later-stage Nancy Drew games, this game is kind of mediocre in comparison, but it’s fun overall. After the sheer agony that was The Shattered Medallion, we’re back on track (kind of) with Labyrinth of Lies.
