In Tomb Raider I (1996), the legendary adventurer Lara Croft is hired by a mysterious businesswoman named Jacqueline Natla to recover an ancient artifact known as the Scion. Her quest takes her across dangerous and exotic locations, including the mountains of Peru, the ruins of Greece, the deserts of Egypt, and the lost city of Atlantis. Along the way, Lara faces deadly traps, wild creatures, rival treasure hunters, and the secrets of a long-forgotten civilization. As she uncovers the truth behind the Scion, she realizes that Natla's motives are far more sinister than they first appeared. What begins as a treasure hunt soon becomes a race to stop a powerful force from being unleashed upon the world. Combining exploration, puzzle-solving, and action, Lara's first adventure establishes her as one of gaming's most iconic heroes.
