Latest Steam announcements

  • Lighting & Optimization Update - 21 May 2026

    Hello everyone,It became clear that a newer engine feature I was using was causing optimization issues for a small number of players. It took some time, but I completely rebuilt the lighting throughout the entire game and made several optimization improvements, along with a few smaller tweaks to improve objective clarity and gameplay flow.Thank you all for your continued support, patience, and honest feedback. I truly appreciate everyone who took the time to share their experiences. I’m hoping this update creates a smoother and better overall experience for everyone.- Tony

  • The Butler Lore & Ending Explained - 9 May 2026

    Video Link: Hey everyone, dev here!I just released an official lore and ending breakdown for The Butler on my channel. This video was made to help explain the story’s twists, hidden details, symbolism, and the deeper meaning behind the Holden legacy.The Butler is a very layered story, and a lot of its context is intentionally spread throughout the environment, notes, dialogue, and connections to previous events. Because of that, some details can be easy to miss on a first playthrough. This breakdown was made to help piece everything together and provide a clearer understanding of the story as a whole.⚠️ Warning: This video contains major spoilers for The Butler.- Tony

  • Refined Progression Update - 7 May 2026

    Update NotesReduced the amount of text in notes and journal entries by over 50%.Removed the requirement to find the Library Key to access the library.While these weren’t major issues for everyone, I felt the game still contained more reading than necessary in certain areas. My goal has always been to make the lore easy to follow without overwhelming players with excessive text, and I hope these changes help improve clarity and information retention.I also removed the need to unlock the library because I don’t want progression to feel like a scavenger hunt or unnecessary backtracking.Thank you all for the feedback and understanding. I learn something new with every release, and I’ll continue working hard to make these experiences as polished and immersive as possible.- Tony

  • Refined Experience Update - 6 May 2026

    UPDATE PATCH NOTES• Tweaked the post-processing across multiple areas to help brighten darker environments and improve visibility.• A key item now has a subtle glow effect after some players were unintentionally missing it during gameplay.• Improved clarity in certain text prompts and interactions to make progression feel more intuitive without over-explaining.• Fixed an issue where some players could become stuck inside the “look through” camera interaction, forcing a restart from the previous checkpoint.The goal of this game has always been to create an experience where players piece things together on their own without excessive hand-holding. That sense of discovery is a huge part of the atmosphere and identity of the game. However, it became clear that some areas were creating more frustration than intended for certain players.With this update, I’ve tried to better balance challenge…

  • Story Refinement Patch - 5 May 2026

    Some players had difficulty piecing together the story and were left a bit confused by the ending. It’s recommended to play the previous title first to become familiar with the universe. With that in mind, I’ve revised parts of the ending to better communicate the narrative and make key details clearer. I apologize for the confusion, and I hope these changes help provide a more complete understanding of the story. Thank you for the continued support! - Tony

  • Fixed Rare Issue Causing Players to Get Stuck - 25 April 2026

    Fixed a rare issue that could cause players to become stuck during a brief interaction when observing another room. Progression should now continue as intended. I apologize to those that this affected. I did my best to test the game to its breaking point, but with new mechanics come new hurdles. I really appreciate those who reported the issue to me and continued on with understanding. To those where it impacted your experience, I completely understand your frustration, and I’ll always do my best to fix any issues brought to my attention. Thank you for your continued support! -Tony

  • Minor Tweaks - 17 April 2026

    Gave the flashlight a wider radius of reach. Added two more candles in the basement for easier navigation. Made finding the way into the office easier. Thank you all for you support!

  • The Butler Launches April 17!!! - 15 April 2026

    I want to thank every single one of you who has followed me and continues to support me on this journey.I honestly can’t believe my third game is about to release.This game expands on the story you’ve been experiencing over the past two years, and it means a lot to finally bring it all together.I’m not sure if this is where it ends… but if it is, it definitely goes out with a bang.I truly believe you’re going to enjoy this experience.Thank you again for all the support. It means everything.

Short description

A psychological horror spin-off of the acclaimed game Claire. You play as Deacon, a man searching for his missing father, but the deeper you dug, the darker the truths you uncovered, secrets you wish you’d never found, and that will haunt you forever.

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. Key Features: 🎙️ Fully voice acted 🎬 Cinematic feel 🧠 Strong story focus 🎧 Audio quality / immersion A Story That Stays With You – Fully voiced dialogue brings every moment to life as you uncover the truth about your father, and yourself. Stealth and Survival – At times, you'll have to stay quiet, stay hidden, and outsmart what’s waiting in the dark. Lockpicking and Exploration – Every locked door or drawer could hide something important… or something you wish you hadn’t found. Smart Item Use – Collect and use items you find along the way to progress and solve problems in practical ways. Puzzles That Make Sense – No riddles or over complicated logic, just puzzles that feel grounded in the world. Tension You Can Hear – Realistic sound design makes every step, whisper, and distant creak feel unnervingly real. A Connection to Claire – A new story set in the same universe, expanding the world of the acclaimed horror game. Checkpoint Saves – Saves placed where they make sense, keeping the tension alive without breaking immersion.

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $11.99
  • Highest observed: $11.99

The Butler's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $11.99, the highest is $11.99, and the first visible tracked price is $11.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

The Butler's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $11.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $11.99. The latest run records $11.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $11.99
  • Current list price: $11.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records The Butler at $11.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
