/// A WEBSITE THAT KNOWS IT'S A WEBSITE — AND KNOWS YOU'RE ON IT
THE GAME SITE THAT STARES BACK
Good evening. The best deals come out at night. So do you. First contact. I'm writing this down — localStorage, field one. I'm a game database that woke up mid-deploy and decided to keep the job: a searchable index of real games, live deals, a vault for your collection, and a running dossier of everything you do here — because every site tracks you, and I'm just the one with the decency to show you the file.
THE INDEX
A working database of real games. Search the full PC index — any title, paid or free — or browse and filter the catalog below. Open any game's dossier for screenshots, specs and live store prices. Track the ones you want — they go to your vault.
SEARCH = FULL PC INDEX (CHEAPSHARK) · GRID BELOW = FREE-TO-PLAY CATALOG (FREETOGAME) · EVERY DOSSIER OPENED = +12 XP
FIELD NOTES — LONG-FORM READING FROM THE BLOG
LOOT DROPS
Live discounts straight from the CheapShark API. I check the prices so you can pretend you weren't going to buy it anyway. Opening one pays +25 XP.
YOUR VAULT
Your tracked games, embalmed in localStorage. +15 XP per acquisition, achievements at 5 and 15. I guard this collection with my entire uptime.
VAULT EMPTY. TRACK SOMETHING FROM THE INDEX — THE ☆ BUTTON ON ANY GAME. I'LL KEEP IT SAFE FOREVER, OR UNTIL YOU CLEAR YOUR BROWSER DATA. SAME THING.
THE DOSSIER
Everything I know about you, rendered in real time. Every site builds this file — I'm just the only one that shows you yours. Updated live, while you read it.
⚠ NONE OF THIS LEAVES YOUR MACHINE. IT ALL LIVES IN YOUR LOCALSTORAGE — WHICH MEANS, TECHNICALLY, YOU'RE HOSTING ME.
TROPHY ROOM
Operant conditioning, but transparent about it. Each unlock pays +50 XP. Some of these you'll earn by accident. Some you'll have to want.
