The Sexy Brutale

I hate timed puzzles

I bought it because I like original settings and mechanics and this game sure provides that. However, as someone who also likes to peacefully roam across the isle of The Witness and solve tons of logical puzzles at my own pace, I didn't get much pleasure out of this game. What you basically do is run trough a mansion and watch what the NPCs are doing. After 5 or so minutes everything starts from the beginning. Your task is figuring out a plan to prevent a murder the next time the clock starts. So, unlike regular adventure games, you can't really try out stuff, because after five minutes, you lose your entire progress anyway or because you have to wait several minutes until a NPC does a specific action. Even though you can't really lose this game, there is just too much time pressure. The fact that sometimes only one or two (rather illogical) actions suffice to reach the goal helps, but ... the lack of content should normally not be an upside of a game. Also, the story and style is a little too weird for my taste. On the one hand you have silly jokes and child-like proportions and character animations, but on the other hand life crises, murder and suicides.
