There's a new Two Point Campus DLC Coming!

Just this week Two Point Campus announced some new DLC--"School Spirits" looks to bring some spookiness to your local campus.  I was initially pretty excited, but there are some things about it that I'm giving a bit of side-eye to.  Here's the release trailer for your viewing and informational pleasure:


What looks good:

+ Two new fully animated courses.  Watching the goofiness of how the new courses function is always fun.

+ New challenge mode level.  The challenge mode levels must be popular because they keep adding them.  I'm decidedly bad at them and have only managed bronzes in the ones that I have attempted.  This new one appears to be oriented toward the ghost capturing theme in the DLC.

+ New items.  You can never have enough items, right?

+ Ghost students?  The trailer implies that you can choose to admit them.  There's also what looks like a campus-wide event to eliminate some kind of big ghost.  Maybe a new calendar activity?

+ Two new student archetypes.  The more diverse the students, the better!

Giving the side-eye to:

- Another ghost-themed level/DLC?  I would've preferred something more original because they've done spooky/ghost themed stuff in Hospital and it's a pretty stock go-to.

- Only one new campus.  The Space Academy DLC featured three new campuses and multiple new courses, so it's a bit disappointing that this feels like a half-DLC.  Sure, it's only $5.99, but I'd prefer three new maps.

"School Spirits" releases on March 15th and even though I'm feeling a bit "meh" about it, I'm going to purchase it, because deep down I have an abiding love of Two Point.
