About This Game

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU MEET THE REQUIRED PC SPECS

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. But the deeper you dig, the darker the truths you uncover, secrets you wish you’d never known, and horrors that will linger long after the game ends.

A solo-developed spin-off of the acclaimed horror game Claire, this psychological thriller will keep you guessing, twisting your perception of reality until the final, haunting revelation.

The Butler isn’t just a game, it’s an experience. It combines a gripping, unforgettable story with scares that will make you jump, and sometimes want to stop playing.  You won’t be figuring out riddles or cryptic puzzles, here you’ll rely on your wits, using the items you discover along the way in clever, often unexpected ways.
