The concept is great but the execution is lacking. I wish Justine had leaned into the 'studying the psyche' idea with some actual ethical decisions that make you consider deliberately killing the prisoners, rather than accidentally killing them because you couldn't solve the puzzle. It would also be nice to actually save the prisoners, rather than leaving them chained to the walls and progressing to the next room. Also, the ability to save so you don't have to play the same puzzles over and over again whenever you make a mistake and die.
The monster and interactions with it are the best part of this expansion, and are better than in the base game. The exploration of setting, story and puzzles is as captivating as The Dark Descent is, but the combination of being forced to repeat it and the fact it doesn't do anything interesting with it makes it difficult to recommend.
