Sexy Brutale, The (PC): I beat The Sexy Brutale today, and the twist ending left me with mixed feelings.  Emotionally, it was powerful, but it was an "it was all a dream" deal where it turns out it's all a metaphor for the guilt Lucas experienced having inadvertently killed his friends and his wife when he attempted to burn down the mansion for insurance purposes.  It's almost like it was two different games: the creepy, stealthy Clue-esque murder mystery mingled with Groundhog Day for the first 90%, and then a dream-sequence emotional metaphor at the end.

Still, it was a highly enjoyable experience, even if the genre is basically swapped in the last 5-10%.  I may go for the achievements and alternate ending later!
