This is pure speculation, but since Beato called Land her masterpiece, I think it was either her most extreme work before she decided to dial it back, or one of the final drafts prior to the version she actually ran at the conference.
Even though Ryuukishi lowered the difficulty with Banquet, it seems unlikely that he would have significantly altered Beato's character arc too, so I'm inclined toward the latter idea. We probably could have expected something similar in tone to Banquet's first twilight, which was technically clever without being grotesque. She did say that the closed room ring ended up being her favorite.
