Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 25 → 0.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About

You play as Deacon, the son of George, a maintenance man who mysteriously disappeared years ago. Driven by years of unanswered questions, you’ve devoted years to finding him.

I love this game. 9/10 I gottta play your other games.
So iv got to say as a new upcoming horror youtuber, this is without a doubt top 5 best horror games iv played no question, if not i’d say top 3. This guy im telling absolutely does not miss the mark when it not only comes to the jumpscares and environments, but the way he ties in the lore to his previous games is a true masterpiece to really experience, which by the way if you haven't experienced claire and ethel, what are you doing, the sound design and voice acting in this game are just top notch and i personally always appreciate when devs go out their way to use real people instead of AI for their talent. Honestly bro please keep this up cos you are honestly truly one of the best in your craft. Absolute gem of a game and would highly recommend to any horror fan, the only thing i would say is that to really truly understand this game you really do need to play his previous two games otherwise its just going to be another generic jumpscare horror game to you, so again do yourself a favour and play his other games cos i promise you wont regret it.

Game is pretty good but I wish it was more optimized. Edit: Thank you so much to the game developer for listening to the feedback and actually optimizing the game. I can finally finish it hehe. Thanksies!
I played both Ethel and Claire before The Butler, and let me just say The Butler was a game I shall remember for years to come! I truly have never been so scared before. The unpredicatable jumpscares, the creepy atmosphere, the story were all so good. I would highly recommend this game if you enjoy a good scary game! 🫣🩷
From a massive lover of Claire and Etherl, Butler jumps you right back into the series, with links from both games prior to The Butler. This Experience was amazing, jumpscares are well placed, the atmosphere is intense and going through the basement was... something else, edge of my seat and i was too scared to move most of the time. Props to the dev for real, he knows how to create tension, keep you on edge and bring you right into the experience. Also thank you so much for popping into my stream and hanging out, it meant a lot to me and my viewers, ill be keeping a close eye on your profile in the future you can bet on that... 10/10
The series so far has been a story of growth from Ethel to Claire and now The Butler. Overall, the game is good and the story fills in some gaps and adds new details. There are points in the game where the story feels rushed and the plot feels forced. The only real "challenge" is a very short and easy game of hide or run that takes minimal effort to complete. Graphics are well done, voice acting is adequate, and the sound is amazing. I would say it's a solid 7/10.
A very well done game! Story imersion is top notch, the ambient sounds and music are on point. The scares are timed spectacularly! Definately what I look for in a good horror game. This dev know's what he's doing and I look forward in the next one. Just to make it clear this game has little to no hand holding and is meant to be that way so be ready to have your thinking cap on. ;) Support your smaller devs with masterpieces like this one!
진짜 스토리 명작이다.. 돈이 안 아까움!!!
The game is excellent and supports SteamDeck, which is great even though it indicates otherwise. The graphics are amazing; I'll finish it tomorrow, it's late.
A very well put together story, with a very good and oppressive atmosphere along with some very good moments of horror. There was one jump scare that I will admit didn't work all that well, but frankly, I would recommend this game to anyone who loves horror and a good mystery.
