How it works

From final boss to save file in four steps

  1. 1

    Find the game

    Search all of Steam, or add a console exclusive by hand. Park it on your backlog or mark it as playing.

  2. 2

    Rate six stats

    Gameplay, world, challenge, pull, look and sound, ten blocks each. You get a score out of 10 and a rank from S to E.

  3. 3

    Save it to your card

    Write the moment it clicked and the boss that broke you. The game takes a block on this year's memory card.

  4. 4

    Level up

    Every save earns XP. Unlock twenty achievements, climb the levels and show your best ranks on your profile.

Questions

Good to know

Is GameChapters free?

Yes. There are no ads, no trackers and nothing to pay for. You sign up with a player name and a password; we never ask for an email address.

Which games can I track?

Every game on the Steam store, with its art and details filled in for you. Console exclusives and old favourites can be added by hand with a title, platform and year.

How does the score work?

You rate six stats from 1 to 10: gameplay, world and story, challenge, pull, look and sound. GameChapters weighs them (gameplay counts most) and turns the result into a score out of 10 and a rank from S to E. Stats you skip do not count against the game.

What is a memory card?

Your journal is laid out like a console memory card: one card per year with fifteen blocks, and every game you finish takes a block as a save file with its rank stamped on it.

What are levels and achievements?

Every save file earns XP, more for long runs, S ranks and a fully written journal. XP raises your level. Twenty achievements unlock as you play, from Press Start to Touch Grass.

Can friends see my saves?

Other signed-in players can find you by player name and read your save files, unless you tick "Keep my library private" on your profile. Visitors without an account see nothing of yours.

Is this a Steam app?

No. GameChapters is an independent game journal and is not affiliated with Valve. Game details and art come from the public Steam store.

Your next save file is one game away.
