Plot

Shadow of the Cat: After recent floods in Khamoon, Lara returns to the local tomb to make further studies of the mysterious cat statue. When she returned, she saw that the main chamber was completely flooded - making more areas accesible and opening new opportunities for exploration. Lara explores new areas of the city and eventually uncovers the existence of a temple dedicated to the cat-goddess Bast, which houses a huge golden cat statue.

Unfinished Business: Once satisfied with her raiding, Lara heads back to the remains of Atlantis. Her goal is to finish off the last survivors of the Atlantean army and destroy a well-defended mutant hatchery, so that they may never trouble mankind again. After accomplishing this, she leaves Atlantis through an underwater tunnel. She hasn't returned to Atlantis since.

Synopsis

Return to the City of Khamoon to discover the secret of the strange cat statue. Take Lara back to Atlantis to explore a ruined segment of the ancient city and embark on an all new adventure!

Levels

The mysteries in the Temple of Cat.
Egypt


The vast ruins of the Atlantean Stronghold.
Atlantis


Gameplay

The gameplay is identical to Tomb Raider except you can walk through spikes if you hold the walk button. The weapons and moves Lara uses are the same. Unfinished Business is not a separate adventure like The Golden Mask, but rather a complementary adventure to Tomb Raider since it has more links to the game. The levels and the purpose of the adventure itself is linked to the story of Tomb Raider.

The Atlantean Stronghold level is actually intended to be a direct sequel to The Great Pyramid - at the start Lara is sliding down the same slope as she did at the very end of the Pyramid.

The level designers recommend that players cheat-skip the first two levels and play the next two starting only with the pistols and no ammo (so that they can be a real challenge even for seasoned players).
