Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Players take on the role of Lara Croft, an explorer trying to prevent the fictional cult Trinity from stealing world-changing artifacts from various cultures. In this game, Lara runs into a fictional Indigenous town called Paititi and attempts to help them beat Trinity and save the world from the apocalypse. Players will encounter situations involving stalking and assassinating Trinity cult members, rock climbing, swimming while avoiding eels and piranha, using animals as resources, and multiple references to Lara's father's death. There are many instances of Lara dying if tasks aren't timed correctly, including by falling, injury, and drowning. PCs will also run into multiple instances of structural fires and ritual sacrifice.
