I've seen exactly one user talk about the sexy brutale. It's ana amazing, unique game. Give it a shot!

On anotjer thread a user left this review (I can't find the thread to retrieve his username so hopefully he can enter and take credit) that made me purchase this game.

Alrighty.

The Sexy Brutale is an isometric adventure puzzle game that's like a fun combination of Groundhog Day, Clue and Majora's Mask time travel mechanic. The game is about a murder mystery set in a masked ball where all the guests end up being murdered by the staff. Your character posesses a magical clock that allows you to rewind time to the beginning of the day and your goal is to save the guests while unravelling the mystery behind who organised these murders and other plot points I won't get into. However, the twist is that you cannot be seen by the guests you've to save or the members of staff who are the murderers. So you need to interact with the levels in a particular fashion (e.g. find a blank shell in one room and load it into a gun in another therefore one of the staff can't shoot one of the guests) without being spotted.

The gameplay loop breaks down to this: You discover which guest you've to save. You spy on the guest and see where they go. You follow them from room to room. You watch them die. You rewind time. You spy on the murderer. You watch how they plan the murder. You watch them kill the guest. Rewind time. You try to figure out a way to intervene by interacting by certain objects used in the murder. You save the guest and unlock a new power that unlocks a new section of the ball.

It's quite cheap but the level of style, clever dialogue, music and interesting puzzles on display here make this a fucking brilliant game that surpassed my expectations.

If you like good puzzles, Clue or just want to try such a unique game, you can't go wrong with The Sexy Brutale.
