Introduction:

The Definitive Edition is an unofficial, PC exclusive, all-encompassing remaster of Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.
The graphics, controls, gameplay, storytelling, sound effects, and music have all received major overhauls, alongside
an astounding amount of bug fixes, and last but not least: restored cut content!

Basic movement controls have been enhanced majorly. The usual keyboard and mouse controls have been retained
and refined and the game can now also properly be played with a controller, just like the original PS2 version!
The bundled digital manual is fully revised and comes in two different versions: for playing with a keyboard and mouse,
and for playing with a controller.

During the development of the Definitive Edition, Core Design's and Murti Schofield's original visions have always been
studied and consulted religiously. This truly is the ultimate and definitive way to experience The Angel of Darkness,
delivering the compelling adventure Core Design always envisioned it to be. The Definitive Edition will be very easy to
install, guaranteeing that the game can be played hassle-free in no-time.

The demo will contain the first few chapters of the game in their final,
finished state, from Parisian Backstreets up until Louvre Storm Drains.

The Definitive Edition is a collaborative effort. Aside from the Definitive Edition exclusive remastered
graphics and audio, the Definitive Edition also contains all the best and recommended mods. This includes the Restoration
Project, SLAYER's Ultimate Patch, Nakamichi680's AoD Level Definitive Patch and EXE Multi-Patcher, fixes to enable EAX
audio effects and much more. Everything is bundled into one easy to use installer. When the demo is released,
the download link will be available through this thread.

Yes of course!

Things I've done with audio editing:
- Improved many tutorial lines, combined some and constructed totally new ones through splicing
- Rebalanced some sound effects that were too loud with EAX enabled
- Improved music in cutscenes
- Improved sound effects in cutscenes
- Replaced sound effects with better quality ones
- Improved gun sound effects
- Improved music volume balancing in some levels
- Added new music into some levels
- Implemented unused official English & French newscasts in St. Aicard's Church and Cafe Metro

and more!
