✦meet the genie

Made for the moment "what should I play?" strikes.

You have 90 minutes, a Steam library you've never finished, and no idea what to click. GameGenie is the friend who's played everything and asks the right questions.

✦ origin story

Born from a Steam sale.

It always ends the same way. Massive sale. Wishlist bloating. Fifteen browser tabs open. "All Reviews: Overwhelmingly Positive" on nine of them. Two hours later — still scrolling.

GameGenie was built for that exact moment. Skip the scroll. Say what you feel like playing. Get an honest, opinionated shortlist. Move on with your evening.

✦ the three rules of the genie

Simple wishes. Real answers.

1
Every rec has a reason
No card ever says just "you'll love this." Every pick cites the actual tags and vibes that matched your ask. If we can't explain it, we don't show it.
2
The genie listens to "no"
Say "not horror" and horror disappears. Say "nothing like Dark Souls" and difficulty stays away. Negation is a first-class citizen here.
3
Your taste, not the algorithm's
Every thumbs-up teaches the genie what you love. No accounts, no tracking — just a small memory that quietly makes your next wish smarter.
✦ what you won't find here

No funny business.

✓ No ads
Nothing paid to rank higher. Publishers can't buy their way to the top.
✓ No sign-up
No email, no password, no OAuth dance. Open a tab and go.
✓ No data selling
Your thumbs live in your browser. We don't know who you are.
✓ No affiliate cuts
Clicking through to buy a game doesn't send us a nickel.
✦ who it's for

Built for the gamer with taste and no time.

If "top rated" charts leave you cold, if algorithm-picked feeds all start blurring together, if you already know exactly what mood you're in but nobody's asking — this is for you.

Whether it's a cozy Sunday, a co-op friday night, a rainy weekend with a big backlog, or the sudden urge for "something like Hades but different" — the genie has an answer.

✦ hello?

Made by Shantanu Kesarkar.

Something broke? A game you love got missed? A rec was way off? Hit the "Not what I asked?" button on any slate — the genie learns from every complaint.
