I downloaded screenshots from 10,000 Steam games and used a neural network to build a map where games that look alike cluster together. I then explored this map using game and pixel metadata (like review counts, prices, and genres, but also hue, brightness, and saturation) looking for any patterns that emerge from visuals alone. In summary: conclusions are not super clear haha.

    If you’re interested, you can check out some interactive plots here (some game visuals may include NSFW material, so please use discretion!), and my findings and more details on the project in this video I made. Hope you like it and let me know if you have any questions 🙂
