Awesome / The Sexy Brutale

Go To

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • The mansion is a murder site. It's also a sprawling building with a casino, a theater, guest rooms, public music rooms, a stage, a library, etc. With splendor wherever you go, from the furniture to materials making up the floor, you really feel that you're wandering through a luxurious mansion.
  • As much as their stories are doomed to end in tragedy, the guests have shining moments that inspire admiration.
    • Among them, Sixpence stands out in a particular way. While Lafcadio does insert the blank cartridge, there are still other bullets in the rifle, so Two Diamonds can reload. But Sixpence, who was cowering before, breaks through his terror. Angry and terrified, he throws a heavy brass candlestick across several feet at Two Diamond's head, knocking him out. He's the only one who directly disables a staff member.
    • Clay isn't as strong as his brother Redd, but he chases off the Giant Spider that is about to eat Trinity. Even his portrait in the basement mentions that he was originally to die by the spider. But he managed to kill it every loop, and his death had to be switched to a drink laced with spider venom.
    • Trinity's statues are everywhere inside the mansion, showing off what a masterful artist she is. One of her crowning works is the large fountain in the garden, which she carved from a single block of marble over a year of constant toil. Oh by the way, SHE'S BLIND!
    • It's clear why the staff sabotaged the levers that shut down the Faraday Cage's electricity. Redd casually mentions he can break the metal cuffs trapping Greyson with his bare hands, and he effortlessly wrenches open the locked door and frees Greyson once the power has been shut down.
      Greyson: Bloody hell. I forget what a total brute you are.
      • Even if you fail to shut off the power, he gets a combination awesome/tearjerker moment when he decides to hell with it and attempts to force open the door despite the electricity.
  • Also falling under Tearjerker- when you decide to finally end the loop, a cutscene starts where Lucas takes the Red King's mask, regaining all the parts of himself. He creates several copies of himself who save the figments representing the guests and stop the explosion, simultaneously. It's only symbolic, as the real Sexy Brutale still burned down and his friends died forty years ago. But with the parting words of Eleanor's memory, you see Lucas standing before her grave, implied to be in the real world as he finally lets go of his pain.
