Unfortunately, the downside to these “wow” moments was that in some instances they seemed to drag on for an indeterminable amount of time. While there are certainly a few physical locks to be found, the cause-and-effect of our actions was, more often than not, rewarded with an exciting change of scenery in the room. The Lost Tomb, first and foremost, is a tech-heavy game. Although easy to miss, the image of our slithering friends on the wall is one of the coolest uses of projection you’ll see in a room, adding just a hint of realism to the situation we find ourselves in. The passage narrows, eventually leading us into a cramped cave complete with sand and snakes. Thankfully, his equipment has not been disturbed, and we are able to raid his base camp for the supplies we so foolishly ventured into the tomb without.Įventually, with the help of our dear departed friend’s journal, we make our way deeper into the temple. The poor guy appears to have fallen victim to one of the temple’s many booby traps, as he is impaled to the wall by several spikes. It’s here that we find one of our compatriots – or what’s left of him, anyway. We begin our adventure in a small antechamber complete with crumbling walls, hanging vines, and enough skulls to hint that we probably shouldn’t be exploring these ruins in the first place.Īlways the brave adventurers, however, we continue into a much larger chamber that acts as the central hub for the game. This provides a satisfying milestone-type gameplay that gives a physical and visual indicator of your progress in appeasing the gods and returning order to the world. It may seem pretty cut and dry on paper, but as we delve deeper into this forgotten temple, we’re met with a story that gains exponentially more traction as we meet the gods themselves – and attempt to play their games.Īs we retrieve the stolen artifacts, we are tasked with placing them in their respective alcoves as offerings to each of the tomb’s gods. Instead, one of our unsavory companions has already found the treasures, and now we need to put them back. Thankfully, Extreme Escape makes an effort to mix up the usual “find the treasure” story we’re used to seeing in tomb-themed escape rooms.
