Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Désilets' new and witchy 1666: Amsterdam demo raises more questions than answers

I am not a Tomb Raider expert - my memories go about as far back as playing the bulk of the original and its sequel at a friend's house, aged something like seven to 10 years old, and attempting to break free of the same demo disc level for a few too many hours on end.
