About BacklogShuffle

Backlog Shuffle is a web application that connects to a Steam account through official Steam sign-in, imports the game library automatically and recommends unplayed games to start. Recommendations take into account the player's current mood and how much time they have.

Users pick a vibe, for example a competitive shooter, a cozy farming sim or a long narrative RPG, and a time window such as 30 minutes, 3 hours or a weekend. The app cross-references this with average completion lengths, explains why a game was chosen with its Metacritic score and genre tags, lets you shuffle again, pin a game for later and launch it through Steam in one click. It targets PC and Steam Deck players.

Backlog Shuffle is a commercial hosted product with a pricing section on its site. The site says it never sees your Steam password, and the text reviewed does not detail the plans.
