What followed was likely the most anticipated part of the evening – playable demo!

TREAL REVEAL SECTION.
Wandering around in the wonderful atmosphere of the Welsh Chapel, I noticed few disturbing elements in the decoration,
which I considered as a forgotten tomb deep in the jungle; for example the neon crosses (see photos). That I was wrong, I
found out right after the demo started. Why?
The game demo, set shortly after the start of the game, took us to Mexico, where the local people were celebrating the Day
of the Dead. There, we meet Lara in undercover, by the side of her friend Jonah (I was very glad to see him back). They are
on track to hunt down Trinity soldiers, who are trying to locate a tomb in the excavation side, close by the village. Yes, Trini-
ty is back and they are after something powerful and they apparently don´t give a...thought...that it might bring a Mayan
apocalypse.
I would like to pinpoint the ability to interact with the crowd, Lara can chat with a child, who shows her a photo, get cursed
at by a drunk merchant, which I stumbled into by accident (PS gamer playing on Xbox, heh) , but also get an advice on whe-
re to next. Once separated from Jonah, the communication keeps going through a walkie-talkie. At the end, we reach the
excavation site, strictly guarded by Trinity soldiers. Jonah lures them away and Lara sneaks inside undiscovered.
