Would you like No Time to Explain?

Give the ball your Steam profile link or name. It reads the games you own most like No Time to Explain, how long each held you against the typical player, and how long No Time to Explain would take you. Public profiles only. No account needed, and no library is saved.

How this is counted

It reads how long you tend to stay: across every game you've played whose typical hours it knows (free games left out), how often you went past the typical player and how often you left before half their hours. It glows when you often stay past them, dims when you often leave early, and needs five played games to read at all. Then it shows the games you own most like this one, by the same measure as the shelf of games like it, each with your hours against the typical player's.

Why not a forecast for this game: on 36,766 Steam libraries, how a player did on games like one told little beyond how long they stay in games at all, so those games are shown as evidence and never scored. Nothing of the library is kept.

How this is counted

Its own series apart, where it plays alike; then the games sharing the most of its strongest Steam tags, genres and themes, the better known ahead among the about as alike. A model that knows games read the list once: the ones it said do not play like this game are left out, the closest come first. Under each name, what sets it apart from No Time to Explain: a kind of game it is that No Time to Explain is not, a feature its tags carry that No Time to Explain's barely do, how many hours people play it, how its reviewers feel. Each case wears the hours its own page leads with.
