This adventure is an interesting mix (in a great way): It feels like a horror themed adventure, but a party that wants to roleplay and explore/experience all of the themes without just falling into D&D combat will feel absolutely at home here. The party that wants to hack and slash their way through it will definitely be accomodated too.
But, the content warning about "body horror" is apt. There's definitely that aspect of body horror with a bit of an eldritch horror feel to it, everything is alien and weird, and the party can interact with all of the scenery and react to it, and the group that I ran through it definitely interacted with everything. (And we had one character who was a great old ones warlock that absolutely leaned into that eldritch horror aspect, so I knew before we even started that the adventure was going to be waaaay up his alley.)
The adventure starts out with a "two paths" choice that determines which set of encounters, and even within the way that they handle the encounters can lead to an entirely different feel for the story. So there's a fair bit of repayability there.
The layout is clean and attractive, the maps are SUPER evocative of the feel and easy to use in a VTT. (If I were playing in person, I would draw some vague lines and circles, but I would definitely take out my tablet and show the picture of the full color maps because they just help so much get across the creepy atmosphere.)
I highly recommend this adventure!
