This game is 10/10 for content, 8/10 for execution. A few stutters and loading problems only slightly mar what is otherwise a brilliant experience.
Sexy Brutale. Played - 2.5 hours
Price - £8.99. Score - 2/10
Awful electro swing soundtrack that sounds like it was written for uncle adams.
One of the main mechanics is waiting
I only got a couple of playthroughs where I lasted more than half an hour. Each time getting back into it seemed like a chore
An interesting gimmick let down by lack of signposting, and poor aesthetic.
At points glitchy and slow to load. Without an faq you’ll find yourself walk-in around aimlessly a lot looking for doors to listen to at the right time. Not the most fun game mechanic. If the concept strikes you and you enjoy these types of games it may be worth playing with an faq but not a game I’d recommend. 2/10
