TIL that there's a FOSS Tomb Raider engine that can run on a web browser
The name is OpenLara (https://github.com/XProger/OpenLara ) and you can try out the WebGL build directly on your web browser on: http://xproger.info/projects/OpenLara/ . The web version works amazingly well on my Pixel 7a with touch controls (you have to click on the "go fullscreen" button) using Firefox as a browser.

Nowadays web browser are so much more then that, with tools like webasm, web usb, web bluetooth, gamepad API, web gpu and all that we are far away from the slow platforms with limited controls of the ol' days.
The list of modern API is almost endless https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API
Exposing your hardware over JavaScript sounds dangerous to me, to be honest. But well, I'm sure that nothing bad could ever happen.
Web browsers are still much slower than your kernel.
I never said that it would be save, I purposely left that out. I am not a fan of Webapps and Games running in Web browsers myself, at all.
But it can be a valid option, for everyone not as paranoid as me
If there's one thing that everyone could have learned from the Snowden papers, that one thing is that you aren't "paranoid".
That's true!
