    A delightful surprise that has been haunting my backlog for some time now. It is a small mystery "whodunit" adventure, logic game and I loved every second of its perfectly timed 5 hours.

The small design team at Cavalier Game Studios definitely know how to make an engaging experience. The graphic style is amazing and translates perfectly to this kind of genre. It oozes style and mystery and is very original. Arguably I played Switch version and I was glad to only look up gameplay from other platforms after I finished. What I saw would definitely make me choose a better platform graphically. Make yourself a favour and set apart 5-6 hours to play this gem!… Expand

    "The Sexy Brutale is filled to the brim with charm, and the Murder Mystery scenario will keep you intrigued until its satisfying ending. The puzzles aren’t especially complicated, you can’t resave guests, and the performance issues all stop it from being the masterpiece it deserves to be; but that doesn’t stop it from being a must-play experience. I hope Cavalier Game Studios make a sequel"The Sexy Brutale is filled to the brim with charm, and the Murder Mystery scenario will keep you intrigued until its satisfying ending.

I hope Cavalier Game Studios make a sequel or successor in the future so that we can return to the scene of the crime again. And again."

    The Sexy Brutale is an intriguing game with good ideas and an incredible atmosphere. It is well worth your time, as long as you don't play it on the Nintendo Switch. Without the technical issues, the game would've garnered a much higher score, but this port struggles at every turn and is best left alone.

    Perfect for fans of intricate time-looping narratives, The Sexy Brutale is a brilliant mystery puzzler brimming with extravagant character. It's unfortunate this masquerade romp couldn't mask its technical issues on the Switch, but if you enter this mansion of debauchery with a dose of patience, the reward will be a memorable tale orchestrated by a roaring soundtrack.

    The Sexy Brutale is a witty, creative and inviting game that brings together adventure, puzzle-solving and repeating time cycles to form a piece of gaming that is as funny as it can be disturbing. While it could use less trial and error and its freezing moments are a bit too much, this is certainly a pleasure to explore.
