The mobile Tomb Raider game that never was

From an extremely long thread telling the story of a Tomb Raider game that never was:

The pitch name was simply known as Tomb Texts. It was based off of principles established by the Lifeline games.

A confident, compelling, and eminently human Lara Croft would enter an ancient tomb, and players would guide and assist her via dialogue choices.

Needless to say, all of these game 'versions' were rejected.

The project leads believed not telling the team about the situation would protect them from lingering psychic damage, among other things.

(I enjoyed the thread more than any actual narrative mobile game.)
