I don&#8217;t think I could stop thinking, reading, and writing about games even if I wanted to.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, I had never heard of The Sexy Brutale until Push Square&#8217;s review, written by longstanding contributor Simon Fitzgerald.<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile insert insert-label\">\n<div id=\"inject-primis-player\" data-src-primis=\"https:\/\/live.primis.tech\/live\/liveView.php?s=117168&amp;vp_content=plembed39b4tigwxqjz&amp;cbuster=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&amp;playerApiId=primis_player_float&amp;schain=1.0,1!ziffdavis.com,22392450815,1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Made by Cavalier Game Studios and the now-defunct Tequila Works, it&#8217;s a <em>Groundhog Day<\/em>-style puzzle game in which you must learn a grisly sequence of events at a masquerade party so that you can prevent a number of deaths.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds unpleasant and macabre, but its stylish presentation has an aesthetic I&#8217;ve just now decided to dub &#8220;Tim Burton&#8217;s doll house&#8221; \u2014 meaning it&#8217;s dark, but in a fun and humorous way. The jazzy soundtrack certainly helps, too.<\/p>\n<p>To be perfectly honest, I don&#8217;t recall a huge amount about the game, only that I really loved it.<\/p>\n<p>You pick apart the casino mansion&#8217;s mysteries with each run through the building, getting a gradually broader picture of who goes where, and when, and why. As a big fan of puzzles, I really got into solving this clockwork conundrum.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I do remember is that the platinum Trophy isn&#8217;t totally straightforward. Most of the list is concerned with saving each character and uncovering certain plot points, but a full deck of 52 cards are scattered throughout the mansion, and you need to find every one.<\/p>\n<p>Tracking those down sounds like a chore, but what it meant was I was extremely observant as I scoured the house. That&#8217;s obviously a quality you need for a puzzle adventure game like this anyway, so it never felt like many extra steps were needed.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really glad to have been made aware of this game from Simon&#8217;s glowing write-up, because I may well have skipped over it entirely and missed out on an engrossing, very tightly designed puzzle box.<\/p>\n<div class=\"insert-label centered insert lazyload for-mobile lazyload\">\n<div id=\"PS_MPU_X_J695041754440F\" style=\"min-width:300px; min-height:250px;display:flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items:center; justify-content: center;\" data-dfp-id=\"pushsquare\/mobile_web_display\/article\" data-dfp-sizes=\"300x250\" data-dfp-targeting=\"pos=1,gto=false,experiment=nl-article-mobile-2\" class=\"lazyload\" data-dfp-refresh-direct=\"true\" data-prebid-config=\"Lazy_Load_HP_MPU\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cheers, The Sexy Brutale.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Do you have the platinum Trophy in The Sexy Brutale?
