How it works
Describe what you want
Type something natural—"games like Stardew Valley", "cozy farming", or "hard survival with crafting".
We search the Steam catalog
Your words are matched against thousands of games to find titles that fit the same feel or idea.
Results ranked for you
Suggestions are ordered so the closest fits appear first, not just alphabetically or by release date.
See why each game fits
Every suggestion includes a short "why this matches" note so you understand the pick.
Browse in a simple grid
Each card shows art, match strength, genres, tags, publisher, and a link to the Steam store.
Free with daily limits
Searches are free. A usage bar shows how many searches you have left today.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from Steam’s recommendation queue?
Steam learns from your library and play history. Here you describe any mood or reference game—even ones you do not own—and get a fresh list built around that description.
Can I use vague descriptions?
Yes. Phrases like "relaxing city builder" or "scary co-op" work. Mentioning a specific game you like usually gives even sharper results.
What does the match percentage mean?
It is how closely a game fits your description compared with other results in that search. Higher means a stronger fit for what you asked for.
Is this free?
Yes. Searches are free with a daily limit shown in the usage bar. No credits or payment required.
Why did I get no results?
Try adding a reference game ("like Terraria"), a genre ("survival horror"), or a gameplay detail ("base building, multiplayer").
Will the same search always show the same games?
The core suggestions stay similar, but order and edge picks can shift slightly as the Steam catalog is updated.
