"Winter In Venice".

A Tomb Raider 3 Custom Level. This custom level has been built using the TR3 engine, so Lara will only have the controls, moves and actions that featured in TR3.

STORY:
Lara has been contacted by the Italian authorities about a stolen artefact. A leather pouch reputed to have been owned by one of the Emperors of Ancient Rome. Intelligence suggests that the item has been taken to the mansion of a crime lord in Venice and hidden somewhere in the building.

PLAYING:
This level should run straight from the unzipped folder by clicking the "tomb3" file, but if it does not, or you get problems, try deleting the "config" file or run the "setup" batch file. You may also need to set "compatibility" mode in Windows. There are a couple of minor bugs (missing sounds) that I could'nt correct but they do not affect gameplay.

PLEASE NOTE:
This level is set at night so it is a bit dark in places, but not pitch black. There are plenty of flares littered about, but if you find it too dark, you can adjust the Gamma settings from the menu in details (sunglasses icon). It is set at 3 as released. Altering the Gamma setting will affect the intended atmosphere of the level. Some areas are intended for decoration or realism only and are not accessible.
