"Never-ending masked ball turned murderous” adventure puzzle game “The Sexy Brutale” will be the first co-production between RiME creator Tequila Works and new UK-based developer Cavalier Game Studios.
Set during a single, endlessly-looping day within “The Sexy Brutale” – a stately English mansion converted into a bizarre casino and named by the enigmatic Marquis – players take on the role of elderly priest Lafcadio Boone. To progress, Boone must hide, watch and learn the colorful stories of the other guests at the ball in order to save them from grisly deaths at the hands of the mansion’s staff.
By discovering the key moments and methods how each guest can be saved and gaining occult seeming powers linked to their masks, Lafcadio is able to explore deeper and deeper into the mysteries of the mansion’s past and inhabitants to uncover the truth hidden at the heart of The Sexy Brutale.
Unique "Groundhog Day" puzzle concept – hours of gameplay exploring a single day from different perspectives and locations
Watch, listen and learn until you are ready to act to save each guest from murder
Multiple distinct areas of the mansion to explore, each with its own scenario, characters and puzzles
Darkly-humorous murder-mystery story spanning the entire mansion
Exotic cast of characters, including 9 guests
Acquire special powers by saving victims to progress deeper into the mansion and uncover the secret at the heart of The Sexy Brutale
I absolutely loved this game. It has a good sense of action even though its mostly puzzle solving. The music and story are absolutely fantastic, well worth the money and definitely recommended.
Maybe it's because I'm not as smart as the average person (even though there's evidence to suggest the opposite) but it took me over 14 hours to finish this game. Of course... I finished it 100%, getting the alternative ending before the regular one. But with an amazing game like this, how could you not? I'm still considering looking around the mansion to listen in on some dialog I may not have read yet.
The concept is incredibly unique, the design fantastic and the gameplay-wise execution almost perfect.
The flaws are only minor - like not being able to rebind keys and the keyboard/mouse controls being pretty weird. And maybe one or two puzzles that I felt wasn't well-designed.
I also would've appreciated more challenge throughout the game. Because until almost the very end, puzzles are mostly straight-forward. Basically just find 1-2 key things, use them and you're done. Although I have to say - on the other hand, I think there was one case where that wasn't enough and I was wondering "So what does the game want me to do?". I guess if they would've done more complex puzzles, one would have to have maybe some sort of "clue progress indicator", especially since the player character moves very slowly and so one would spend ages just wandering around or end up using a walk-through. Travelling times can be annoying once you've explored enough of the mansion as it is. I wish they would've let players start at different clocks at the beginning of the day by letting you CHOOSE the clock each time that you start a new day.
It also seems like they released this game with no thought of support after release. Maybe they simply haven't earned enough and can't afford to invest the time in fixes? Which may also in part be due to the awful title which kept me from playing the game for quite a while too. But it definitely is worth the investment. And I hope that we will see a sequel despite the possibly lackluster sales figures.
The Sexy Brutale is a successful experimentation with the "Groundhog" day formula in a video game. Your job is to solve murder mysteries whilst being stuck in a time loop. It's as brilliant as it sounds and executed quite well. The game might not have the flashiest visuals, marketing or set-pieces but I guarantee you will be positively surprised with it's presentation. So buy this gem of a game and feel good that you've supported one of the more creative and consumer friendly indie-devs out there right tnow.
+ Good graphics
+ Good argument
+ The mechanics are interesting and well done

It's an investigation game that uses time travel mechanics to discover what happened in the mansion.
The weak point of the game is that it is not replayable
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
