This Casino Makes A Killing. Let's Play The Sexy Brutale!

What is this?
The Sexy Brutale is a bit of a murder mystery game that came out in April 2017. It runs a little chunky in spots, maybe not the best optimization, but it is rather charming! Playing as somewhat of a mix between Ghost Trick and Majora’s Mask, the game follows the fate of ten guests at the titular casino during the annual masquerade ball. Things don’t seem quite right however, what with the staff killing off the guests and all. Over the course of 12 repeating hours, we’ll discover the truth behind the murders and the Full-House Staff, and hopefully save a few lives along the way. What has happened at the Sexy Brutale? Who is the bloodied woman? And where is the Marquis in all this?

Since this game is extremely story based and there’s a lot going on, I’m planning on doing a subtitled LP. I’ll try to keep my commentary minimal to explain things and otherwise let the game speak for itself. It’s my first time going about a subtitled LP so if anything is unclear or needs fixing, please let me know. Generally I’ll be following the victim(s) around to show their movements. Then I’ll follow the murderer to see how they’ve done it. Finally we’ll figure out how to prevent their untimely demise.

The game is not very long but it is extremely story based. :siren: Don’t spoil anything if you know what’s coming up! :siren:

I love the graphism and the music so far, and the gameplay looks very interesting.

Thank you for adding a new name to my wishlist :wink:

This is one of those games that seems to have flown under the radar but it’s real good, I felt like it needed some visibility. As little as I can offer, anyway!

Also, a new video!

It’s time to take a trip upstairs with our newfound power, and meet a new guest or two.

I’m really liking this games whole aesthetic, especially the music and visual style, and the way you’re presenting it seems like a great fit. :+1:

But I must admit that waiting around to see how each character dies feels uncomfortable to me. :sweat_smile: also, I feel like maybe there should be a trigger warning in the third video? considering that Willow commits suicide.

That’s fair. I added in a warning on the post.

Time for a nice, soothing concert.

Tequila Belle, the Southern Siren/Polsy

Time to look in on that show that’s been advertised since we got here.

Redd Rockridge, the Gentle Goliath and Greyson Grayson, the Lightfinger Locksmith/Polsy

Sorry for the delay, I got busy and this one took a bit of work.

Aurum Runes, the Midas Giant and Thanos Gorecki, the Blueprint Prince/Polsy

Things are about to get…weird.

The Basement and the Gold Skull/Polsy

Well, you weren’t wrong. Things did get weird. And a hell of a place to cut it off, too.

I had been thinking the Red Woman was Eleanor, but I’m guessing now she’s Eleanor and Lucas’ daughter? It’d make sense that she’d think of Reginald as “Uncle” if so. Except I’m not sure whether or not Eleanor died in the fire and the Red Woman says “we” died. Lot of twists here.

The twists are not quite finished, either! I’ve seen lots of people get pretty close but the game does play it pretty close. I’m interested to see how the final update is received.

We’re rather close to the end. One more video to go, for fun.

Lucas Bondes, the Marquis/Polsy

Wow. Yeah, that’s a heck of an ending. Going to have to play the game myself, I think, to really get through all that, think through it from the perspective of knowing how it ends. Quite the LP, and I’m looking forward to the last video.

Wow.

One last video, for good measure! I still have more room descriptions to add in but this is the last video.

Last Call/Polsy

This LP was great! Did I miss what was down the trippy staircase though?

Not sure what you mean by trippy staircase?

@moderators I suppose this one is finished! Please add to Completed Let’s Play.
