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!

Black Desert Online (PC): Logged in, sold stuff, logged out!
Blade & Soul (PC): Logged in, activated the Jackpot item, logged out!
Sexy Brutale, The (PC): Made it a little further by saving Redd and a guy whose name I forgot. I figured out the second half of the trick first after a rather amusing exchange between two of the staff who talk back and forth for hours in one to two word exchanges, only for one to finally flip his lid and shout out the entire second answer in verbose fashion!
I really like the sound, look, and feel of the game. It's creepy--not Splatterhouse or Castlevania creepy, but sort of like a dark version of Tim Burton: everything is just a touch off, and it's unsettling. I'd love to see a sequel, or a game made in the same style but expanded into a less linear game.
Sword of Chaos (iOS): The usual: a few Holy Square runs, and the basic dailies, and that's it!
