Your Steam library · your time · your mood

Tonight,
you play this.

It reads the games you already own, the hour you actually have and the mood you are actually in, then comes back with one game. Not a shortlist. One.

Tonight

Hades

“Roguelike” is the mood you asked for. Twenty minutes in the last two weeks — you are mid-run.

MOOD 38/40SESSION 18/20MOMENTUM 7/15
The evening you actually have

You own the games. That is the problem.

  • Twenty minutes of scrolling, and you launch the same thing as last week.

  • The backlog you paid for is a wall of covers that only makes you feel guilty.

  • You reopen a save from March with no idea what you were in the middle of.

How it picks

Six things it weighs, and it shows you all six.

No model, no black box, nothing hidden behind a spinner. Every pick is a sum of named components, and the badges on the verdict are printed from the numbers that actually scored.

  • MOOD

    The tags behind what you asked for, matched against everything you own.

  • SESSION

    Half an hour is not an evening. Some games know the difference.

  • MOMENTUM

    Nine hours in the last fortnight means you are already in it.

  • REDISCOVERY

    The one still in its wrapper gets a push. That is what a backlog is for.

  • TASTE

    The genres you said you like, weighted well under the mood you just picked.

  • NO REPEATS

    It stops offering the same three games. That was the whole complaint.

The five best then go into a weighted draw, so a clear winner usually wins and a close call stays a genuine toss-up.

What it would cost

Three boards.

    The overlay exists in the repository and is not packaged for download yet. Nothing here is buyable.

Nothing is billed. There is no card form anywhere in this app — during the beta these prices describe what the layer would cost, not what it costs.
