Game #909: The Sexy Brutale

 All bets are off.

 I was enamored by The Sexy Brutale's premise the moment I heard about it: A giant casino in which every guest is murdered in the span of 12 hours... sans the main character, who has the power to rewind time, which he'll use in order to save everyone. If that isn't captivating I don't know what is!

 The game is a pseudo puzzle/stealth game. The only stealth comes in the form of having to avoid guests and murderers, but even if they see you you have ample time to evade them. The rest of the game involves tracking the person you need to save, seeing what they do, figuring their schedule and then finding how to save them.

 I found the game's pacing incredibly slow, to the point that I very quickly realized this wasn't a game for me. After I saved the second guest I just went to a guide and used it throughout the entire game. I don't mind though, the puzzles got incredibly hard and tracking the guests would've quickly grown too boring for me. 

 But that's alright, because I really enjoyed the story, and having my hand held through the game wasn't half-bad! I had fun seeing how you are supposed to save everyone.

 This is most definitely not a game for everyone, but if the premise sounds even a little bit interesting, I suggest doing what I did: Get a guide and enjoy the story.
