[Watch] The Sexy Brutale reveals its release date alongside first gameplay trailer

Enter the never-ending masked ball later this year

The Sexy Brutale is a little Puzzle Adventure game that takes place during a masked ball inside a casino of the same name. The game is essentially an endless time loop where the player must re-live the same murder over and over again to gradually unearth clues to save the life of every person attending the ball. Tequila Works and Cavalier Game Studios have officially announced that the game will be releasing on April 12th alongside the game's first gameplay trailer (embedded above). 

The trailer above showcases the elderly priest, Lafcadio Boone. We get a look at the typical game loop as Boone hides and watches events play out in front of him to figure out how to save the other guests. For every life he saves, Boone gets closer to unearthing the secrets of The Sexy Brutale and its enigmatic owner, Marquis.

Here's a full feature list per The Sexy Brutale's official fact sheet:
 
  • Never ending “Groundhog Day” looping time gameplay, creating a unique way for players to engage with concurrent stories freely.
  • Spy, eavesdrop and hide to learn each individual narrative playing out across the mansion.
  • Intriguing murder mystery puzzles to be solved through investigation and deduction.
  • The mansion forms a fully interlocked “clockwork” world that ultimately tells one grand, twisting story. 
  • A colorful and varied cast of characters and a stylish art direction make The Sexy Brutale a unique-looking game.

The Sexy Brutale releases on April 12th, 2017 on PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
