About Game How To
Game How To is an independent guide site run by a small editorial team. We find new games — from Steam hits to itch.io debuts to Playdate curiosities — and write practical guides that answer the questions real players ask: What is this game? How do the controls work? What tips actually help?
How We Work
Every guide is written after hands-on testing. We play the game, verify controls against official sources, and research community discussions to surface the tips that matter. When a game updates, we update the guide. When a game fades, we note it. No AI slop, no scraped wikis, no affiliate-first clickbait.
Our content lives as structured data files — metadata in JSON, guides in Markdown — stored in version control. This keeps publishing transparent and makes it easy to track when and why every page changed.
What We Cover
- Browser games — play instantly, no install, we embed where possible
- Steam games — reviews, player counts, system requirements, all sourced from the official API
- itch.io discoveries — game jam entries, indie experiments, names you have not heard yet
- Handheld exclusives — Playdate, mobile ports, niche platforms
Editorial Standards
- Every guide includes: What Is, How to Play, Controls, Tips and Tricks, FAQ.
- Pricing and platform information is verified at time of writing and updated when we detect changes.
- Screenshots and cover images are sourced from official store pages or captured directly from gameplay.
- We do not write reviews or give scores. We explain how to play, not whether you should.
- Paid games are clearly marked. Free games are genuinely free — no hidden microtransaction traps.
