The voice acting is also exceptional, as threats leveled at Kidman by her shady benefactor are delivered with a level of viciousness that makes the listener understand their power. Sounds like the tapping of Kidman's heels on the ground can alert enemies to her presence, meaning that silencing them (by crouching to walk) is key to success in the game. When the music silences, the threat is gone, too. Once Juli is spotted by an enemy, the music kicks up and adds to the sense of tension.
Sound is not only important for locating items on which Juli must shine her flashlight, but also creates effective scares for the player. In addition to the continuing tradition of an excellent story (and it can't be emphasized enough how much the events the DLC actually help to clear up some questions that are raised in the core game) there is also the presence of fantastic sound design. Unlike the core Evil Within experience, the run up to the end for this expansion actually feels satisfying, with the final confrontation legitimately providing some jumpy moments. Unlike many survival horror games that are so wrapped up in twisting the story that the details get lost or confused, the questions raised about Kidman's involvement are answered mostly clearly, which is a satisfying thing to behold. Without exception, the story is the greatest strength of "The Consequence" not only does it serve to show an evolution of the character of Juli Kidman, but it also addresses what she was up to during those times in The Evil Within where she and her partners parted ways. Throughout the course of the DLC, the are several instances where the action intersects with the core game, and it's the kind of situation that is immediately rewarding to someone familiar with the that content. "The Consequence" picks up immediately where "The Assignment" left off, with Agent Kidman making her way to Beacon Hospital in an attempt to make sense of what's going on around her.
