Ravenholm – Half-Life 2
Considering the titles of the chapter at Ravenholm is “We Don’t Go to Ravenholm…” it should be a pretty good indicator of what lies ahead. The Eastern European-style town has been completely infested by zombies and Headcrabs, leading to it being completely sealed off and guarded by automatic turrets and explosives. The town is also littered with the bodies of dead humans who were annihilated when the infestation took over, on top of zombies maimed and sliced by the various traps set by Father Grigori.
Grigori is the lone survivor of the outbreak, quoting Biblical phrases as he saves Gordon Freeman during his visit to Ravenholm. Although he saves and helps Freeman multiple times, he’s certainly not totally mentally stable.The burned structures, hordes of zombies, and maniacal laughter from Grigori certainly help Ravenholm to be the creepiest place anywhere in Half-Life.
