Why is Steam recommending eFootball for Overcooked 2?
Trying to fix that by building a better "More like this" System than what's on Steam.

I've been holiday coding a bit trying to create a better "More Like This" algorithm than on Steam. Still WIP - but so far it's working pretty well.
Live on all games on Niklas Notes!

The notes for Aug 18-24 is out!
The "Gamescom Effect" kept Steam releases light this week. Developers likely waited for Cologne's spotlight to fade.
Corporate ladder-climbing combat and Chinese narrative games still found their audiences though. Sometimes timing can tell you a lot of the market.

I analyzed over 80,000 Steam games so you can search by vibe instead of genre.
Want 'noir pixel art'? ✓
Need 'nordic dark fantasy'? ✓
Craving 'neon cyberpunk aesthetic'? ✓
Maybe sometimes you just want games that FEEL a certain way.
