The Butler – Indie Game Spotlight

The Butler, developed and published by TSGAMES LLC, is coming soon to Steam and you can find the Steam page for it HERE.

The Butler is a solo developed spin-off to the horror game Claire, which we covered HERE. You are Deacon, son of George, a maintenance man who disappeared many years ago. An unanswered question that has been playing on his mind for years. After devoting years to finding him and digging a little too deep, some dark truths are unveiled. Perhaps this story was one best left alone.

The Butler combines gripping and unforgettable stories with scares that will catch you off guard when you least expect it. No puzzles or guides in this one, just your wit and using the items you find along the way.

Features:

• 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 overcomplicated 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.

The Butler is looking like it’s building up to be a fantastic spin-off to Claire and Ethel, two horror games that offer incredibly terrifying experiences. The Butler promises to terrify along the way while offering a unique storyline. Horror fans alike have given Claire a very positive rating on Steam. The positive praise ranges from its storyline, which offers many twists and turns as you progress, to its graphics, adding to the overall horror feel. While The Butler isn’t out yet, you can wishlist it on Steam, as wishlisting the indie games you like the look of really helps them.

If you are interested in playing an intense horror game, Ethel and Claire are the perfect games for the ultimate horror experience. You can find Ethel HERE and Claire HERE.
