About Indie Games Database

Curated indie games with similarity-based recommendations and audience fit notes.

What this site does

Indie Games Database indexes Steam Store public API data and provides structured directory pages to help you evaluate options quickly. Each entry includes:

• Facts pulled directly from the upstream source (stars, downloads, prices, metadata)
• An AI-generated editorial summary (Claude Haiku 4.5) — a starting point, not a substitute for reading the source
• Tradeoff notes and use-case matching

Why it exists

Directory sites exist because raw API data is not readable. We add a thin editorial layer on top of public data so you can decide faster whether to dive deeper.

Transparency

• Editorial content is AI-generated; occasionally it will get things wrong. Every page links back to the authoritative source.
• We are not affiliated with any of the vendors listed.
• The site is part of an operational experiment — we track which categories get traffic and expand accordingly.
