   Go ahead: explore storyline, make theories. Game is wonderful.
   
   I put 10 but for me there is one drawback in this game (well actually not a drawback but mis expectation as game is still quite good, but not what I expected it to be): puzzles are easy. So if you want hard puzzles that will challenge your intelligence you won't wind them here. But what you find is interesting art style, good themed music and mystery story.… Expand

   There's very little to dislike about this game and a lot to adore, but I'll blurt out the bad first:

   The game has some minor buffering issues. Controller input can be a little wonky, with your character turning around, rather than open a door.
   Other than that, I was - initially - somewhat disappointed by the puzzles. Going in expecting this to be a puzzle detective, I barely strained a brain cell for three quarters of it. All the puzzles are obviously telegraphed. Sneak up on the appropriate gaggle of Ne'er-do-wells and they'll handily exposition you the specifications of their circuitous scheme and how to foil it.
   
   No matter how obvious though, the act of foiling these plans (or not!) managed to remain fun throughout. The game has oodles of style and atmosphere and just watching the life in the mansion tick down is a true joy. Uncovering the details of a plot, sneaking about the mansion, spying and applying your interesting and well implemented skills, gives you a very "Thief"-like feeling of being the voyeur and saboteur to this beautiful, intricate world. It's all there for you to outwit, and be privy to the various overlapping intrigues as they run through each other like ornate clockwork. The urge to undo a tied ribbon, lies mostly in how pretty the bow is. The Sexy Brutale in that, is one hell of a tantalizing knot in artwork, sound and snappy character design.
   
   Eventually, the intelligence of this game is found instead, in how it kept misdirecting my expectations. There were several moments where I thought I had the Sexy Brutale figured out, only for mounting dread to make me doubt, and then fear another theory.
   
   In the end, the game has one hell of a mind-boggling plot twist that makes everything feel like it made sense. I'll only say this: A storepage's tag of "mystery/adventure" suits Sexy Brutale best. Buy this game for the mystery, vague as that may sound, and I can promise you the inquisitive will be well rewarded with one hell of a journey.… Expand

It's a game that has a certain mystique I haven't experienced since the days of the Myst Series. Introduced to this game by the Extra Credits Team on YouTube as the "Groundhog's Day of Murder" I was instantly interested, and I have to say I'll definitely take their recommendations with great consideration from now on. This game was a masterpiece of how a stealthy mystery game should be made. it wasn't unfair at any point in time, or that punishing in moments of peril. This game had everything and allowed you to focus on solving the series of murders, rather than distracting you with how to avoid conflicts. It's a breath of fresh air and I can't wait to see Tequllia Works and Cavalier Games Studio's next project.
   
   The Sexy Brutale gets a 8/10

   Sexy Brutale is a very easy game that could be summarised in "be at the right place at the right time".
   You must save guests from assassination and to achieve this you can rewind time to Saturday noon every time you want.
   Every character in the game is doing the exact same thing every day. You can follow and spy their every move and conversation to devise a way to save one specific target.
   Most of the solutions are so straightforward calling them puzzle is a bit of an exaggeration.
   The story is pretty easy to guess and you'll see the twists coming from several miles away.
   
   I've liked the music, the graphics and the little details of the back-story.
   
   The one part that disappointed me is that I've tried several time to see if I could manage saving everyone in a single rewind. Alas the game stops you as soon as you save anyone else than your target and rewinds the game for you.
   Until the end, I've expected this to be the final challenge but : nope.
   
   I've been on the fence choosing between "recommend" and "not" but it's generally enjoyable so it's a thumbs up.
   Just don't buy it expecting a challenge.… Expand
