very solid story you can absorb yourself into over a week or so. I would tell you to just go in blind, but most people need enticing so I will run down the premise. You are trapped reliving the same day over and over, looping every midnight, in order to solve the various murders around the mansion. The staff of the mansion will kill every guest by midnight, unless you do something. You are the only person who knows what is about to happen. Using your time manipulation, you can look at things from different angles as you repeat the day, finding more clues and such, with the eventual goal of stopping whatever is going on. I think of all the games that deal with time loops this one is definitely the best. It's the perfect set up for a detective sort of game, and it's also just a good story honestly. Will not disappoint.

Planned to just play an hour, but ended up getting hooked on the story, gameplay, and unique artstyle causing me to stay up all night until I finished the game. 10/10 leaving me wanting more

An incredible mystery/puzzle games that scratches the itch left by games like Outer Wilds. Beautiful art style, fun puzzles, and a pretty good story that you have to piece together. Only negative is that there's a decent amount of waiting, expecially if you are trying to find all of the collectibles, but otherwise solidly recommend.

An intricately crafted time-loop murder mystery In The Sexy Brutale, you are a guest to a masked ball in a huge, ostentatious mansion - and like everyone else in that mansion, you are stuck in a time loop that resets ever 12 hours. Within these 12 hours, the staff off the mansion is killing the guests one by one. Your task is to prevent the murders, find out what is going on, and eventually break the loop. Your presence is somewhat ghost-like. You cannot talk to or otherwise interact with other people (actually you have to hide from them), but you can investigate and manipulate objects as long as no one else is in the room. To prevent a murder, you first have to observe the actions of the characters, by peeking through keyholes into neighboring rooms, listening in on conversations, or hiding in cupboards. Once you understand the sequence of events, you need to find a way to break it, e.g. by manipulating a murder weapon before the killer picks it up. This creates puzzles which aren't overly complex, but imaginative and varied. There are 6 of such murder cases to solve, with some of them having more than one murder to prevent. Saving a victim will give you access to another area of the mansion, where the next murder is taking place. You will also gain additional powers from each saved victim, which can be used to gain more information and reveal secrets throughout the mansion, giving you a reason to revisit areas you've already been to. I found the puzzles and the mechanics of this game very engaging. Observation-based games can easily become a bit boring due to the passivity of the main gameplay mechanic, and games with a time-loop mechanic can easily get repetitive - but The Sexy Brutale never felt that way. I always found new interesting details. I felt that I was unraveling an intricately designed mystery, step by step, and the repetition of events affirmed me that my understanding of that mystery kept growing. (Also, once you prevented a murder, you don't have to repeat that ever again.) I enjoyed the story and characters quite a lot. The characters are very distinct, you learn many little details about them, and the ending was appropriate and very touching. The game's presentation is gorgeous. The graphics look splendid, and there is a lot of variation between the areas and rooms. The same goes for the music, especially the jazzy tones for the bar and casino evoke the atmosphere of such an upper-class establishment at some time in the last century perfectly. The sound design also integrates exceptionally well with the gameplay: sometimes you get audio cues from neighboring rooms, and certain events can be heard in the entire mansion. There is no voice acting, but I did not miss it. For me, The Sexy Brutale was an amazing adventure, and I am really struggling to find something to criticize - apart from the godawful and completely misleading name. My biggest concern are probably the controls - keys cannot be rebound, and the control scheme assumes that the keys Z, X, 1, and 3 are close together since you have to press them frequently, often in time-critical moments. That's a problem for French, German, and Dvorak keyboards, and it's very disappointing that such an integral feature was overlooked in a game that is otherwise so finely polished. Some players also complained about the game's length, but I think 20β¬ list price for a well-designed, highly polished game that took me 8 hours to solve and 10 hours to fully complete, are appropriate. Given that I have much less time now than I had 20 years ago, I actually appreciate games that pack high-quality content into an experience that can be fully had in a day or two. The Sexy Brutale fits that bill perfectly. I recommend this game wholeheartedly to everyone who likes adventure games and murder mysteries, especially if you have an eye for details and like the setting.
