Story :

The story takes place in northern Spain.

When Caligula finally took the lead of the Roman Empire, a few veterans tried to resist him. The
deviant Emperor condemned many of them to death. Therefore the survivors decided to go in exile.
One of their number knew from  one of his campaigns an ideal site in northern Hispania. Ther
they founded a propsperous underground city, protected by a succession of temples dedicated to
the greatness of the Roman Empire and of its conquests.

They leaved in peace and harmony with the local inhabitants, who helped keep it away from the 
sight of Rome. Unfortunately, a dreadful earthquake burried the main temple entrance, and for
almost to millenia no one heard of the underground city anymore, until a spanish archeologist
found an old manuscript which mentioned the mythic city precisely enough to localize it. After a
few researches around the site, he discovered the entrance of a huge cave network, near to the 
temple localization. What if the temple could be reached this way?

The archeologist then decided to call for help adventurer and archeologist Lara Croft, in order
to help him getting to the temple. Lara, quite put down by her mishap with Miss Natla, decided 
to work freelance and searched the temple entrance by her own means. She'll soon discover an 
entrance to a magnificient cave, but who can tell where it will lead her to ?

Little note from TRO-ONLINE :

These two levels are the first Stitch offers to the Tomb Raider community and for a beginning they are quite good ! The levels are relatively well built with an interessant gameplay. The scenery isn't perfect but nice and original. Both levels have a lot of personalized textures which are very fun. Another original detail is the second secret mode that Stitch has made. They are three secrets per levels but it isn't all. They are many statuette the player must find. Some can be found quite easily but getting them all won't be as simple as it may seem.


The Prehistoric Cave

In the first level, the first thing we see are the textures. Stitch has made a lot of beautiful textures from photos of real prehistoric caves. The wall are covered with prehistoric paintings, giving the level a yet unseen aspect. Textures are excellent, but texturing could be better : there is still some stretched and badly placed textures. Lightings are quite good. Stitch has well placed the cameras and audio sounds in well choosen places. They are some hard parts with fire traps and the ennemies often attack in group. Sometimes we can escape the ennemies but sometimes they will attack when Lara can't move easily (near a big hole by example). However, Stitch gives the player enough medipacks and weapons to join the finish door without problems. A linear gameplay with some action makes a good level for a good raiding moment. 


Felinea Porticus

The first level was linear but quite nice. The second one is a little bit messier but the scenery has less charm. Stitch placed still beautiful personalized textures and well retexturized objects but lighting is one of the principal flaws of the level, some rooms appear monotonous. Again, audio sounds and cameras are well used. In gameplay term, ennemies are a little bit less present but always in group. The difficulty is more technical. By example there are some parts with a rope and one is a timed-run. The author has also made a little surprise near the end of the level. Both levels take two hours, even more.

Bref, these two levels aren't perfect, but they predict good things for the continuation. Stitch has just to work : with a little bit of experience his levels shall improve.

The author has planned a continuation of this adventure, keep your saves !
