The long-awaited Road to Gehenna expansion to last year's first-person puzzle favorite The Talos Principle has been released on Steam, and comes with a massive price cut on the base game for new customers. A new launch trailer for the expansion has also been published:

In Road to Gehenna, you take control of Uriel on a mission from Elohim to free other messengers, who are held captive in the simulation. The expansion contains four new worlds with puzzles that should provide a good challenge for players who have already completed The Talos Principle.
The story is mostly told through posts on a message board, and new content is added each time you solve a puzzle. I think this is a nice approach to the computer terminal storytelling, and I had a good chuckle over some of the messages and ASCII art on the board. The two puzzles I've solved so far have also been of a very satisfying difficulty, and one of them was set in a huge area; much larger than most of what you find in the base game. There are also new stars to capture for the biggest fans of the game, but though I discovered one early on, I have no idea how to get to it yet.
About the expansion (from Steam)
The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna follows the narrative of Uriel, Elohim's messenger, as he explores a strange, hidden part of the simulation on a mission of mercy and redemption in an attempt to free the souls of the damned at all costs.
This substantial expansion consists of four episodes that take experienced players through some of the most advanced and challenging puzzles yet. The Talos Principle writers Tom Jubert and Jonas Kyratzes have returned to pen the expansion and show players an entirely different side of Elohim's world through a journey to Gehenna filled with new characters and a new society with its own history and philosophy.
You can get both Road to Gehenna and The Talos Principle on Steam.

I've been playing it for a while and it's great. While no new mechanics have been introduced yet, I'm early in the game and I wouldn't expect any new mechanics until later (hopefully there will be some). The puzzles start off fairly challenging, much harder than the early puzzles in the base game, which is to be expected. Hopefully there are some diabolically challenging star puzzles in the game.

Of course one of my favorite games gets an expansion just as I won't be able to play for a week. I look forward to it however.

To anyone that's on the fence about this game, try the demo. It will give you a feel of the game.
