Backburner.uk (beta) – an Coach that picks 3 games from your own Steam library based on your mood tonight

Backburner.uk (beta) – an Coach that picks 3 games from your own Steam library based on your mood tonight

What it is:

Backburner looks at your Steam library and helps you actually play what you already own instead of buying more. You describe your vibe (mood, how much time you have, what you're playing on) and it builds a 3-game playlist:

  • Main Deep Dive – the primary, longer session
  • Palette Cleanser – something shorter for a break between heavy games
  • Pick-Up-and-Play – handheld/low-attention friendly

Every pick launches straight from the browser via steam://run.

Why I built it:

I have 400+ unplayed games on Steam and kept re-buying instead of playing what I own. Existing "random game picker" tools just roll dice; I wanted something that actually reasons about mood, playtime, and how long a game takes to finish.

Under the hood:

  • Syncs your Steam library, then enriches each game with store metadata, community tags, How Long To Beat estimates, ProtonDB tier, and Steam Deck compatibility
  • Vibe descriptions are parsed by an LLM into a playlist; there's also 6 non-AI "Classic pick" strategies (Safe Choice, Quick Win, Hidden Gem, etc.) if you don't want AI involved at all
  • Steam Deck Mode filters everything to games with good Deck compatibility
  • Backlog Health Score + a "Shame Report" showing money spent on unplayed games, with an optional Guilt Trip mode that roasts your backlog habits

Status:

Still in beta. A Decky Loader plugin for Steam Deck is in code review right now, so native on-Deck support is coming soon. Actively looking for feedback and testers — if something feels off, breaks, or a recommendation makes no sense, I want to hear about it.

Happy to answer questions about how the recommendation engine works, and especially interested in Steam Deck users who want to try the plugin once it lands.

I posted here asking why my wishlist growth was slow. I finally added the trailer and updated the Steam page. Does it feel stronger now?

Hi everyone,

I posted here before asking why my Steam wishlist growth felt slow, and a lot of you gave me very helpful feedback. Thanks a lot!

The main points were that the Steam page didn’t explain the game clearly enough, the screenshots looked too similar, and the page really needed a trailer.

I tried to apply as much of that feedback as I could.

Since then, I’ve added the official trailer, updated the screenshots, and made some changes to the Steam page presentation.

I’d really appreciate another round of honest feedback:

- Does the trailer explain the game better now?

- Do the screenshots and Steam page feel clearer and more appealing?

- Does the page feel more wishlist-worthy, or is there still something holding it back?

Thank you so much again. The feedback from this subreddit genuinely helped me improve the page.
