Taste, not tags

The best games you'll never be shown.

Deepcuts reads how you actually play — the mechanics, not the store tags — and matches your taste against a hand-scored pool of overlooked indie games. You get a fingerprint, an archetype, and three deep cuts.

How it works
01
Tell us how you play

A short read of your library and a few questions. We care about how you play — not which box art you clicked.

02
Get your fingerprint

Your taste mapped across dozens of mechanical traits into one archetype — the player you actually are.

03
Find your deep cuts

Indie games with high mechanical alignment and low visibility — the ones the algorithm buries because they can't afford ads.

Why I built this

It shouldn't be this hard to find the incredible stuff that's out there. I got tired of being shown the same ten games everyone already plays — so I built the thing I wanted.

Steam's search engine blows. (Respectfully.)
