For recommendation services
Game recommendations that understand what players love.
The game intelligence behind your recommendation service.You run the storefront, discovery tool, or personalization service. Iridae supplies what it needs most: a queryable understanding of how games relate, so you can go beyond genres, tags, and popularity.
Built on 150 million observations across 150,000 PC games. The ranking logic stays yours.

Understanding, not just tags.
Genre labels and tags miss why players love a game. Two games can share a genre and feel completely different; others look nothing alike yet appeal for the same reasons.
Together they form a continuous space where games relate by mechanics, themes, and experience. You query it. You don't build or maintain it.
Iridae gives your system that understanding, mapped from 150 million observations:
- Store positioning — How games are pitched.
- Player reviews — What players value.
- Gameplay trailers — Mechanics shown in play.
- Screenshots — Visual style and interface.
- Qualitative assessments — Critical judgment of craft, tone, and feel.
- Co-ownership and player endorsement — Which games players own together, and which they recommend.
- Production scale — Team size, budget, and ambition behind a title.
Validation
Players' preferences follow the same geometry.
A game space is only useful if distance means something. We tested ours against behavior it wasn't built to predict: which games the same players like and review. Every link is measured against a popularity baseline, so blockbusters can't inflate the result.
5.63M Reviewer co-occurrence links, each at least 8× the popularity baseline
93.4% Of those links have cosine similarity of 0.5 or higher
Players who like the same games move through the same neighborhoods.
Discovery
Discovery experiences you can offer.
Each is a query against the same game space.
Based on your favorites.
Take five games a player loves. Find what they share, spot distinct clusters of taste, and recommend games near each.
Like this, but different.
Let players steer: the exploration and progression of one game, with less multiplayer. Hold what matters; change the rest.
Recommended for you.
Two players can love the same game for different reasons. Retrieve candidates from the game geometry, then re-rank them by each player’s learned preferences.
Your rules
Your service. Your rules.
Those experiences are starting points, not fixed features.
A storefront, a community tool, and a personalized service each define a good recommendation differently: familiar mechanics, surprise, or a balance of interests.
Iridae doesn't impose one. You define how recommendations are made.
Configure what goes into a search, which characteristics matter, and how results are selected and ranked, and keep control of how they're presented.
Decide what matters.
Weight mechanics, themes, modes, and more. Favor cooperative progression over visuals, or keep a combat style in a new setting.
Mix preferences.
Start from one favorite or many. Find common ground, separate clusters, or weighted blends.
Shape the results.
Set requirements, exclude traits, control how closely results follow the originals, and re-rank by learned preference.
Make it your own.
Variety for a community of overlooked games, tight mechanics for a specialist tool. Same intelligence, different recommendations.
The intelligence is shared. The discovery logic is yours.
Performance
