About The Sexy Brutale

About this game

Welcome to the mansion.

All the guests are being murdered — horribly! — at this extravagant masquerade party set all across the sprawling and bizarre Sexy Brutale casino mansion.

Then at midnight, the clock re-winds, and the grisly pantomime all plays out again in exactly the same way.

You awake on the floor of one of the rooms wearing a mask with a bloody handprint across it. It protects you from the worst of the evil that lays across the mansion, but you can only watch, spy, and try to learn each guest's secrets so you can save them from their bloody fate.

MURDERS MOST HORRID

10 unique and grisly murder scenarios

  • Witness evisceration by arachnid! (highly creepy!)
  • Observe expiration via immolation! (they burn!)
  • Behold perishing through perforation! (the spike goes right through!)

...and so many more murderous mysteries to solve!

TIME-LOOP MURDER MYSTERY

Everything in the mansion happens on a 12-hour loop, simultaneously

  • What is the gunshot heard across the mansion at 3:45?
  • Where is the bell that tolls after 6 pm?
  • Why are the lights flickering every day after noon?

...it will not stop until you stop it!

MANSION WITH STRANGE GUESTS

Is everyone in this place a weirdo?

  • Clock master Sixpence - a genius mechanic who cannot outsmart a bullet?
  • Blind artist Trinity - so beautiful and talented, but gets into a sticky situation?
  • Brutish bouncer Clay - not strong enough to stomach a shot of pure spider venom?

...they just won't stop being murdered by staff in gas masks!

UNLOCK BIZARRE MASK POWERS

Every life you save grants you a new ability!

  • Not a second to lose? The Clockwork Mask grants control over time!
  • Murderers whispering their secrets? The Moth Mask picks up the quietest of sounds!
  • Ghostly goings-on? The Voodoo Mask opens your eyes to beyond the grave!

...but for every new power comes new responsibilities!

ENJOY YOUR STAY!

Unique in the genre.
Verified purchase
This is a story-driven whodunnit adventure game. Everything about it is different from other games I’ve played. There is a ticking clock and time system where your goal is to sprint to the right rooms and locations at the right time, solving murders in a roundabout way and preventing deaths in the process. Definitely worth trying for the originality factor.

Puzzle-adventure game with a compelling plot, peculiar artstyle and excellent soundtrack: reliving the same Saturday afternoon (Groundhog Day anyone?) trying to save the guests of a masquerade party from brutal murders while putting the pieces together to understand what the heck is going on in the mansion and... won't spoil anymore ;)

Straightforward, bland, and small hitman-like game, where you save people instead of killing them.

Despite being a time loop game it doesn't really feel like it, especially with games that have dozen of manual and auto saves, dying returns you to a save point, stealth missions then you going rambo acquiring some info here and there to restart. The puzzles are basic and straightforward. It feels like a very restrictive Hitman (WoA at least), where you save instead of kill and only doing it in a very specific way. And you can only save one person (or set of persons) per "run" l, once you saved them it's done. No rushing finding the most efficient ways to save them all in one "run" especially with the final upgrade. Final upgrade feels like it's for the collectibles only and it's not really fun.

Good but Repetitive

Good story but repetitive. It is mostly trial and error gameplay where you try to groundhog day the story to completion. It was not for me but the story had me hooked

Overall an excellent puzzle game! It's aesthetics are interesting and the sound design is nice. Nothing was too difficult to figure out but I also didnt feel like I was being handed answers. The story is fine, but I'd say it's secondary to the mechanics as the focus. This is an excellent game for people who dont mind games ending and arent looking for the most hours/dollar ratio, but appreciate something fun and nice for a while.

I really don't like it, and I think I'll not finish it. Cause of the very good reviews I expected a least a mediocre game but it is bad game. The good: art style and music (maybe) The bad: No game-play or at least I can't find it. A bunch of technical problems: stuttering, freezes will before opening a door, low frame-rate, ... All rooms rotate and make navigation through the mansion unnecessary confusing. God thanks I was only 1.09 €.

An absolutely fantastic time loop game, the right amount of challenge without letting you get stuck, set in a very nice atmosphere.

An excellent game! A murder mystery where you get to turn back time as you spy on the staff and guests in an attempt to prevent their murders. What a great idea. There is no penalty to starting the day over, so you can take your time investigating different parts of the mansion, and the ability to turn back time means you can eventually see what's happening at every location at the same time of day. Very innovative. The music is good, the FX give you hints about what is happening around you, and the graphics are fun.
