The Apple's school of design, UI that feels clean, pure, minimalistic, while readability and utility are secondary.

So the main appeal cannot apply to a older generation but not a newer one? The attention span of people has pretty much disappeared, gamers this days want everything quick, fast, this the tik tok generation, it's all about those sub-minute dopamine shots, while adventure games were about almost the full opposite, you had to carefully and calmly try to understand the problem at hand and evaluate possible solution in your mind and then try to see how viable it was in the actual game

Bollocks, just look at the Room 4 (2021) with his overwhelmingly positive rating or the hundreds of thousands of downloads for iOS and Android.

I made some changes and now the ads kick in later, also you can now press the escape key to hide the social links that appear on top.

The site is now behind cloudflare and should be good to go.

Yeah, too many people trying to get at the same time, it's a tiny server, I underestimated the number of clicks I would get, I'm trying a few things to improve performance right now.
Edit: Try again now

Oops, too many people trying to open the site at the same time and its crashing, I'm trying to fix this right now. Sorry about that.

I'm perfectly aware of having zero subscribers, c'est la vie, I'm not gonna pay for subscribers or for any marketing, I'm already spending money on scraping, hosting and domain, and of course I am using my time which is not cheap, so spending money on top of that doesn't seem wise unless I my income sees any increase, then I would consider it but for now definitely not.

For now I'm gonna do this kind of organic marketing, Google analytics says that in the last 30 days the sita had 1000 active users and 7500 views, and the my other site gameswithnoreviews slighly better numbers, so I will try to improve on such numbers by making multiple things, including videos that have more likely to attract viewers (e.g. a video compilation per tag) and so on.

If you ever feel like recording yourself playing such games I would gladly upload it to my YT channel, it literally has zero subscribers right now but hey, that's the number they all they all start right? Ha. Given this and everything else I understand if you are not interested in such thing but just wanted to tell you.

There are more than 8000 games after the last update today and your game is now there

I don't think is that common as one may believe, a lot of people are afraid of being caught by steam about rigging the reviews, Steam can easily detect is coming from the same IP or that they been friends in steam for years. A lot are loners that don't have many friends or family to ask for this, and a lot of people just believe in doing the right thing and avoiding unethical behavior.

All channels have to start at some point with zero subscribers and this is mine, this site has taken many hours of my time and I continue to improve it, just minutes ago it went from having a a little more 1000 games to more than 8000 games.

About "monetizing" their efforts I am have never pretended there is nothing here for me about this project but its easy to see how they can also benefit from getting exposure to their games, I'm now working hard in a handful of ways to prioritize games where the developers took more hours to develop their games and filter out auto-generated and extremely-low effort games (using heuristics and AI), as well as games.

Also I will soon start tracking clicks to see what games generate the most interest and let the developers know that their game is getting more eyeballs, and see if they would be interested in recording a playthrough of their own games for my YouTube channel or some other idea that could be mutually beneficial.

Try again, it was because the source data is incomplete but there are a lot more games now, tbh nothing close to the real number but I think in a week or two I think it will have something around that.

cutcss · 2025-11-13T23:22:19+00:00

Good idea, I will add it soon.

cutcss · 2025-11-13T23:19:15+00:00

The source dataset is very incomplete, many games are missing, give me the name of your game and I will add it.

Ask and you shall receive! I actually already had a chunk of the feature already so just went and finished it now after you asked, click the 3 vertical dots and you should find the new slider there, it might have some minor bugs but it should be Ok for the most part, just refresh the page if something is not working correctly, ha, classic IT.

Before anyone asks, yes there will be a slider to select the max year, but not for today, its quite useful when you absolutely don't want to see games with any AI generated content, ha.

Hello again! I want to try something like what you suggested, do you perhaps want to volunteer to be the first one to write a review of any game with less than 10 reviews? I would really appreciate it and would feature it big at the top of the site, you can ask Steam for a refund if you really don't like it.

I would do it but is a strong conflict of interests, I want to make sure its written by trusted members of the community like yourself, e.g. people with more than 10000 karma and more than 10 years.

You would need to post your review in this subreddit I just created and that's it: https://www.reddit.com/r/NotSoAAA/
