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.

https://youtu.be/Uj43a8-bOqA Today! We found the corpse of "The Butler" Flesh (Visuals): Looked awesome, very well done! Beautiful in some parts, unsettling in others. Dismemberment (Difficulty): The game itself is not hard, there is some puzzles you have to solve and sometimes finding things can take a moment which will make you go "how did I now see that?" But generally, harder part is conquering fears and pressing on in some points. Infestation (Bugs): Did encounter a few bugs, the dev is very responsive and actively works to correct issues quickly. Corpse Integrity (Story): The story is a spin off of the game "Claire" which is also a great game. You play as Deacon who is trying to find his father which leads him to some darker family secerts. The game has a lot of lore and some reading, which to updates the dev has shortened some. You find out the connection between Claire and a great twist at the end. Overall, story, sad, insane and very interesting. On Tony Shoulder's youtube has a break down of the story to compare notes. Something Off About It? (Ambience): Now only was the house beautiful and creepy, things could ramp up with the spookys from the sound effects, bangs, whispers and shifts in the house. The ambience was on point to make it unsettling , the basement got to me nearly the most due to the water, which loved the items floating physics, second house I think got to me the most, very short part but a hitting part. How Long To Dismember (Playtime): Took me about 2hrs in nearly one sitting, could probably be done in 1hour and 30minutes Value Of Meat (Price): Right now it is $11.99, which after the experience I got from it and seeing the work put into it, I feel like its a fair price. Post Mortem Thoughts: The Butler! I been playing Tony Shoulder's since Ethel, every game their crafting skill has improved and offered a more spooky and deep story experience. The Butler was a fantastic playthrough, enjoyed going through the story and seeing what connection it had with Claire and watching Deacon's story go deeper into madness. The scares were on point, some hitting hard. There a lot of reading but I never mind that, I enjoy lore and seeking it out, one that one scare while reading got me so good. The ending was great, once you put the pieces together and realize the small clues from the start that at first were "that's odd" and some that where just not events but hints and clues to the main story. Great Job TSGames!

The qlues are sometimes a litle hard, but a good game with lot of jumscares and great quality. After the first phone message, the text got stuck on my screen thrue the hole game. 8/10 from me.
The Story and Gameplay are so insane good, pls more GAMES Like this ONE.
There are just too many issues that prevented me from enjoying this game. To begin with, it's not properly optimized to be played in 4k resolution with an RTX4080. Even when lowing the graphic settings down quite a bit, I was still experiencing random frame rate drops. Some of these frame rate drops were pretty harsh too, like down into the low 40s. You also cannot manually save and some checkpoints seem very far away. You also cannot disable the headbob effect, which gave me some motion sickness. And certain controls such as TAB or i for inventory and the F key cannot be remapped. There is also some texture pop-in and graphics are really dark. There is also no brightness setting. As far as gameplay goes, there are several jump scares that are cheap in my opinion and some other gameplay sections were just not enjoyable to me. For example, there is a lengthy hide from monster section in a flooded basement with no way to defend yourself where you must keep hiding inside lockers to escape, which tends to be something I don't particularly enjoy. After that, you return to the mansion but this time with all lights completely off with only a tiny little circle of light that you can see from the light of a flashlight. Stumbling around in the pitch dark with only a tiny circle of light is also something I do not enjoy. I finally quit playing when the game froze, crash, and locked up my pc with fans racing extremely high. I was done at that point. Overall, I did not enjoy my time spent with this game so I therefore cannot recommend it.
Awesome freaking game!!!! Well written storyline, hella jump scares!!! YOU MUST PLAY ALL THREE!!!!
This is the first game I have played that as actually motivated me to write a review on Steam, and rightly so, it is well deserved. If you are looking for more from your standard cheap jump scare horror game, look no further. This game combines an amazingly drafted storyline with beautiful graphics, voice overs, and hidden secrets that will constantly have your jaw on the floor as you unravel the secrets within. The game has tastefully placed jump scares that fit perfectly in the storyline. Just when you think you have the story figured out, think again. The Butler focuses heavily on attention to detail, rather than difficult puzzles. Prepare to immerse yourself in one of this year's most beautifully crafted horror games, guaranteed to have you wanting to play it again for more of the "ah-ha" moments you missed the first time. This game is a must play for any horror enthusiast.
Sehr zu empfehlen, brutale Stimmung. Man hat die ganze Zeit das Gefühl verfolgt und schiebt dabei Paranoia. Wurde im Stream gespielt und der Stream gibt dem Game eine 8,5/10. Sehr gutes Spiel!!!!
Habe von TSGAMES auch die beiden Games davor gespielt. The Butler war dann natürlich ein Pflicht kauf von mir. Die anderen Games waren deutlich härter und kürzer...wie mein Schniedel 🤣 Spaß beiseite das Game ist etwas länger und hat auch einige mehr Rätsel/Key Items die es zu finden/lösen gibt. Gameplay klassisch für ein Horrorgame. Jumpscares und Atmosphäre stabil. Allerdings für den vollen Preis etwas.... 1,7 Std für 14,80 € im Livestream....grenzwertig. Trotzdem klare Kaufempfehlung 👍 Community hat es auch gefallen. Hier mein Gameplay. https://youtu.be/nQIcjbGEmms
Really really tried this game but after several times of trying I could NOT get the furnace room to open witht he key. I knew it was the right room bec I thought i was crazy after dying a hundred times trying to find another door, I looked on YT. It was in fact the right door but its glitched so I cannot open it. Requesting a refund.
No puedo recomendar este juego. Los dos anteriores tenían una historia algo difícil de entender pero al final igual se comprendía, pero este juego es una maraña de sucesos y personajes que de verdad no entendí nada. Tanto que tuvieron que sacar un video en youtube explicando el final. El juego está mal optimizado y además, lleno de errores para usar los items, tuve que tratar 5 veces para abrir una puerta con una llave para que funcionara. Finalmente los objetivos del juego no te dicen claramente que hay que hacer, y pierdes tiempo tratando de encontrar que hacerle clic para seguir la historia en una casa enorme y llena de objetos. Otra cosa, la traducción al español es horrible, nadie que hable en español lo revisó si quiera? No lo recomiendo. Extra: a parte de la mala traducción de todo el juego, los subtítulos son extremadamente rápidos, no alcancé a leer todo por lo que la historia se hace más difícil de entender así.
