Thanks you for the amazingly detailed mansion, the pictures on the wall, all the small objects on the tables, music, atmosphere, creepiness, and the story itself which was so amazing, i listened to every audio, explored every corner, Amount of effort and detail put into this is just amazing.It added so much background to Lara's story, so much information, what a pleasure to play in a small but super interesting place like Croft's mansion. You guys really pull off good stuff when you put your mind to it.For the record i enjoyed Tomb raider 2013, and Rise of the tomb raider storys, and the dlcs were decent, Baba yaga was the best because of how unusual it was. But now blood ties is the best for me. Enjoyed slow walking across this huge mansion feeling the tension finding more information, exploring, and learning new things.You didnt have to do this, but you did so thank you for it.Only makes me wish you continue Lara's story and let us enjoy more of this great world.
