Now here's a few questions, where should this game take place, after the comics or should it be a sort of adaptation of the comics from Sam's POV. Take a number of elements and condense or alter them to help make a flowing narrative by taking stories that have already been well received by fans.

Pros: We get to see some of the best moments of the comics brought to life like Sam's encouraging Lara to preform on stage, Sam mocking the leader of the Solarii Worshipers and of course a more fleshed out confrontation with Himiko.

Cons: Adapting the comics and changing things to help create a more flowing narrative could mean we miss out on Reyes' character development, Kaz and Grimm's Brother might have to be combined and given that there is a huge gap between The Queen or Serpents & Choice and Sacrifice could create problems.

Option B is having the story take place after Choice and Sacrifice and Sam ends up dealing with a new supernatural threat unrelated to Himiko with the plot being your idea of her getting trapped in a haunted house that is more of a horror version of Blood Ties.

Pros: As Lara would be taken out of the equation this means Sam can be the soul focus of the game so we can just focus on her character and growth so no one can say that Sam is only useful/interesting when Lara is in the picture.

Cons: Might be a hard sell as Sam is popular but she is still a secondary character from one of the most iconic series in gaming history. Sam does have what it takes to support a series onto her self but studios are still studios and this might be a hard sell.
