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.

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.
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.

Ну, не знаю, очень муторная игра - спасибо за озвучку, но очень много текста. Ты читаешь, читаешь, читаешь и читаешь - а написанная история не настолько хороша, чтобы так безбожно растягивать её. Пара скримеров была ничего, но проект затянутый и поставленный очень посредственно. Лучше прошлых двух игр серии, они ещё слабее.
I have now played all 3 games from this developer and I have to say they never disappoint , another truly awesome game , how it ends I am hoping there will be another story to add to this collection , a must buy
hi dev i wanted to know why the wasd controls act weird it makes me move when im not using the controls and im still
Joa war ganz nett, kann man gut machen. Hat mir besser als CLAIRE gefallen. Vor allem die Jumpscares und Animationen waren echt nice gemacht, achja und die Atmosphäre auch. Gerne mehr Spiele davon! Wenn du nach einem soliden Horror-Walking-Simulator suchst dann wirst du hier definitiv fündig. Over and Out und Kussi an NotHuman <3 :*
I just wanted to give a huge shout out to the Devs for the awesome games they've made so far. I love the horror genre and these games felt like they were made for me. I love haunted houses, the eerie music, the jump scares, I found the story interesting, the puzzles just the right amount of challenging that's not overly complicated or annoying. Really good stuff. Every game got better and better and it seems like you're improving your craft. I'll keep being supportive if you keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next great one!
What an amazing game, I started the series with Ethel then went to Claire which are both awesome games, The Butler did not disappoint, the story line is amazing, when you can put a good story line in with a game that is full of jump scares and intense moments you know you have a good game. The game is non-stop from start to finish with things that grab your attention. Even if I anticipated there would be a jump scare it still scared the dickens out of me. I would absolutely play more games from this creator.
I've rarely ever seen a game series where each entry is better than the one before. The Butler was probably one out of two games in my life that I wanted to play with closed eyes. The style, the scares, the whole atmosphere is hitting so hard. Especially anything with something as simple as sheet ghosts. They are always nailing it for me when it comes to 'I don't want to play on anymore and am about to remove my headphones then LEAVE'. The story is great, too. Thank you for adding a link to a full explanation in the main menu. It's a little masterpiece when you are connecting all the different layers of the plot. It all made perfect sense in the end and the series played like being part of a phenomenally good and scary horror movie. Can't wait to hear more from this dev in the future.
If you played Claire or Ethel, you already know this developer knows how to build atmosphere, but The Butler honestly might be my favorite yet. The mansion feels unsettling from the moment you walk in, the voice acting is fantastic, and the storytelling kept me hooked the entire time. The pacing was great, the scares were well timed! Definitely recommend this to anyone who loves psychological horror with strong atmosphere and story. cant wait to see more from Tony!
