A play about the underworld. An art heist beneath the stage.
Everyone in the cast is lying, including the director.
This page names the cast and the locations but withholds the answers. When you want the walkthrough, switch to Chapters; puzzle solutions and collectible locations live on Extras.
The Phidias Cultural Center in Greece is hosting a production of Persephone in Winter. What begins as a backstage volunteer assignment becomes an art-theft investigation, and everyone on the cast list has something to hide.
