Road to Gehenna, very much indeed. It explores a side story to the main one, using a different character in a way that I think only adds to the whole thing. The challenges are harder (and the effect of solving them different), it adds a whole extra layer to the content in the computer terminals - the experience on that is much more interactive than in the main game - and it explores some important issues that I felt were not covered in the main game.
I held back on completing the toughest ending of the main game - taking time to collect all the stars and bonus challenges - because I knew I was going to miss playing it once everything was solved. I had exactly the same feeling with Road to Gehenna.
I found a fair number of the main story's challenges too easy and repetitive, but I was hooked by the story so I kept going. The challenges in Gehenna are tougher and more imaginative and the story is good.
One of the things I felt was missing from the main game was any kind of social interaction beyond the two overseer programs. Given the goal of the project, it seemed odd that you're alone almost the whole time and don't have any interaction with the other candidates. Gehenna is all about a group of other candidates. Your choices in the main game are about personal identity and freedom, this time they're moral ones as well.
