About
Interact with different characters and objects through point & click controls, explore locations
that feel distantly palpable. Make sense of an unstable reality that hides its very nature.
Exchange information extensively, debate on the general decor, or partake in backwards philosophy.
It'll help out eventually.
Play as a performer, murderer and master. Intertwine their stories and bring the ceremony to a halt.
The game evolves depending on who is being played, ranging from slow-paced exploration to having a literal gun.
Recall long-forgotten events from a distant reality, and get out.
Butler Guillotine features a soundtrack entirely made of public domain finds of late 19th and early 20th century opera and chamber music. Most songs are only slightly altered, or even not at all, so that they can stand out as much and as well as their original recordings.

If you like your games weird and atmospheric, do yourself a favour and give this a try. We need more people making unapologetically idiosyncratic stuff like this.

One of the most bizzare game I've played in my life. Worth every penny.

It was a really good and weird game. I think I picked up most of what was going on. But still left me with some questions at the end. Only thing I'd recommend is that the creator adds a copyright free version of music for streamers. There was one song in Act One that Youtube gave me a copyright notice for... 😅 https://youtu.be/WVqD3Tie7-g?si=JKtM-KxMCVAQkNYl
This is an incredible game, an absolutely exceptional experience. It is surreal and beautiful, sad and also charming with unexpected humour. The horror elements worked so well, grotesque, disturbing, while still being sombre. A weird, theatrical and artistic masterpiece. When I left a review for Lorelei and the Laser Eyes I wrote that it was the most stylish game I have ever played. This may top that. Or at least match it. It is simply gorgeous. And while the gameplay of L&tLE is full of complex puzzles, Butler Guillotine's point and click exploration and narrative journey did remind me stylistically and thematically of that game in places. The cut scenes can be slow paced and languid, and the walk/run speed may not be to everyone's taste. But for me this was truly a visual, narrative, storytelling and classical musical treat through and through. I really loved it.
