KEEP THIS HANDY
Controls at a glance.
- Game menu / input help
- Check the active build’s bindings before entering the level.
- Keyboard
- Use the game’s directional and action bindings; classic movement differs from a modern mouse-look game.
Start by learning the movement
Classic Tomb Raider movement rewards deliberate positioning. Use a safe area to see how the character turns and how an action begins. This is a learning suggestion; bindings and extra movement options belong to the particular OpenLara build you launch. Read its own help instead of importing a console controller layout.
The browser demo is one build of the engine
The README links a WebGL demo level and separate standalone releases. Those are different delivery formats. The presence of a desktop release does not establish that the browser host has the same version or every feature. A failed level download can also leave a reachable page without a usable scene.
Keep engine code and original data separate
OpenLara’s engine uses a BSD two-clause licence. That licence does not grant rights to redistribute Tomb Raider’s commercial game data. This site links the project’s demo and credits its published imagery; it does not package the original levels, audio or a full commercial game download.
What happens to your progress?
Check the selected demo’s menu. No cross-device save is promised by this guide.

Before the next click.
Does the engine licence include every Tomb Raider game?
No. The BSD licence applies to the engine code. Original game files retain separate rights.
Is this a complete browser edition of every supported game?
The README calls the web entry a demo level. Support in the engine and content offered by that host are different questions.
