“Excellent narrative puzzle game. Not too hard, not too easy. Highly recommend.”

“Man, what happened? This game had insane potential to be an all timer but instead it's just... Okay. And that's very disappointing. Concept wise, The Sexy Brutale is an absolute banger: solving a murder mystery in a…”

“An excellent ground-hog-day-styled puzzle game. I would heavily recommend for the game play, the style, and the twist at the end!”

“Time loop, murders, mysteries and intrigue at the casino-mansion: The Sexy Brutale. No combat of any sort: only spying, learning and interacting to try and change outcomes. Amazing puzzle game for those that don't…”
“Loved it, scratched the itch that Outer Wilds left. The puzzles, as some people said, aren't that complex but it's more a discovery/exploration game than a challenging puzzler. Quite a short one to complete, but there…”

“A huge disappointment. The ending renders the entire game world meaningless. After completing the game, I didn't even feel like finding all the collectibles. The puzzles are simple, and when their complexity increases…”

“Beautiful and touching, the gameplay is quite interesting but you can't run haha. Some solutions felt a touch unclear, but maybe I just didn't pay enough attention. Still, overall great game with great storyline.”
“Most of the puzzles are pretty simple so far...except the third one, in the guest rooms. That one had me going, "GUIDE DANG IT!" It's definitely doable without a guide, and the guests are all really charming. Too bad…”

“Unfortunately found this unplayable in 2026 on Linux/steamdeck. Game would freeze on a white screen during the intro/tutorial level. Read some forum threads that changing the proton version to 8 would help; it didn't.…”

“This game doesn’t deserve the sexual content tag. It’s got a couple of statues with their boobs out. The game was absolutely fantastic, it was brilliantly designed, consistently entertaining, engaging storytelling. The puzzles were well designed; they weren’t too obvious but…”

— a player, Steam review · 9 hrs played“It's a mixed bag for sure. Pick it up if its cheap and play it when you want a lightly interesting story and very easy puzzles that have no complexity at all. Unfortunately this game does not lean into the very interesting mechanics it has and provides not enough depth.”
