was testing herself. The three monsters you encounter are her three suitors. In the first main room (the prison), if you build a box ladder up to a platform on your upper left upon entering, you'll find a bonus wax cylinder for a phonograph later on. This is basically a recording of her drugging and blinding her second suitor Basil, who you find in the storage-esque room past the library. That would explain how the monsters/suitors cannot see you. I assume they look so friggin' creepy because she's a total nutjob, but she also put those metal contraptions on them as well to prevent escape for her test. If you get closely enough to the monsters, you can hear the suitors individual voices talking to you. First is Alois in the cell room, saying things like "Why is this happening? Justine, my love, are you there?" Basil is rather angry the whole time "I will find you" and has a grumbly voice that really is unsettling. The last suitor, the musician, I've never been able to hear since you have to book it like hell to get away from him. You can find their individual cells in the cellblock near the beginning. Alois's is the one with the blood and scratches spelling "Forgive Me" (Justine had him cut himself for kicks, and he was very much in love with her and had tendencies as it was), the Musician's (Vagny or something similar) is obviously the one with the violin and sheet music, and Basil's is an empty cell on the same side. The opposite side of the block is where the three other prisoners are/have been (the ones you can save). The one with the holy bible on the bed is the priest's that you can save or kill in the library, the .. well okay the other guy I can't remember is already in his cell, covered and still alive under a spike mechanism, and the policeman's cell is the remainder. He was hired by Alois's father who was worried about his son's pursuit of her because he knew she was nuts, and he wished for an investigator to gather some charges on her to have her locked up. Looks like that didn't turn out well for him.

Other things I gather .. Justine killed her father when she was 11, and her father had performed psychological tests on her (think the slides in the library) but had at the same time molested her. The tape talking about Vagny (again, whatever his name is.. the musician) explains Justine being amused by his stumbling at his performance, and she along with the other two suitors carry him off. I assume this is where her blinding and trapping of the suitors began.

There are some things I still don't understand, though. Such as the significance of her father's star and why her father's gravestone says "Peter Pan," and exactly what the letter Justine has Clarice send at the ending is supposed to mean.

We all freaked during the water monster part and I kept waking up my girlfriend by jumping during the prison.
