Spooky with lots of untapped potential. 3/5 stars.

I get the feeling Grave Consequences isn't 100% finished, but what's here is a very promising start. The maps have a unique aesthetic that oozes Halloween charm, and the finale is genuinely fantastic, easily the highlight of the campaign. The level design also stays interesting and concise from beginning to end -- I particularly love the emphasis on spiral staircases, of both the natural and man-made variety.

I have my issues, but it's encouraging that most of them are simple bugs rather than fatal design flaws. The NPC navigation file needs tweaking because Survivor bots don't pick up medkits at the start of Map 1 and a horde spawned INSIDE the safe room in Map 2. Special Infected also tend to get stuck in holes due to a lack of Infected-only ladders. Finally, this campaign is EXTREMELY short at under 24 minutes on Normal.

Still, for a quick Halloween romp that's free to download, this campaign is easily worth a run. I want more!

UPDATE: This campaign has changed a fair bit since my review -- it's now 3 maps long instead of 2, and the extra length is appreciated. I still feel comfortable with my 3/5 score due to numerous polish issues, but this campaign is better than it used to be.
