How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Execute
A grisly active incremental set on a retro Windows 98 desktop: you capture people for your machines, start out with a guillotine and unlock mines and contraptions until you're building nukes and bringing the world down to zero.
