The premise, in the publisher's words

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. 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.
