Hi Ben, Oh, I see. Yes, the game itself is loosely based off Tomb Raider and obviously the traps, weapons, etc are similar in some aspects. However, having mazes, traps, whatever is pretty par for that genre of game. It is in fact one of the reasons I personally like that style of game. However, in comparison Mysteries of the Ancients is pretty simple compared to a mainstream game like Tomb Raider. In Tomb Raider there are all kinds of puzzle elements such as the various stepping stones that need to be jumped on in the correct order to open a locked gate like in Last Revelation. Tomb Raider is famous for its timed traps like pressing a lever to unlock/open a stone door only to have it slam down on you just before you make it all the way through as in Tomb Raider Prophecy, or the wheel that opens a trap door in Underworld. Sometimes there are things you have to do or get early on in the game such as a certain amount of water in jars to balance the skales on another level to open a secret passage. It is these kinds of puzzle elements and/or traps I haven't even come close to matching. So I think Mysteries of the Ancients is a mere shadow of the original games I based it off of, and therefore I feel it is pretty easy compared to the kinds of sighted games I use to play before I lost my sight. Since it is the actual structure of the levels and traps themselves I guess there really isn't much I can do to help you. I know I've been able to play Shades of Doom, completed it many times, while others can't finish the first level. I don't understand why they can't finish the game and I can, but the fact of the matter is not everyone has the same ability to play the same game/games equally as everyone else.
