Those games you bought in bulk during a sale and never touched? They are now attacking the player.

Indie developer Nick Taylor has unveiled his new game, 'Game Quest: The Backlog Battler,' and released a demo. The game is built around the perspective of those neglected titles.

Game Quest scans your Steam library directly to generate content. As long as your library is set to public, the game pulls data like titles, playtime, and purchase price to create enemies and allies. Games with less than two hours of playtime appear as enemies, while your most-played games become allies to help you. Games you have never even launched will haunt you as powerful bosses.

Beyond just the title, the higher the purchase price, the stronger the enemy's attack power. In other words, the games that drained your wallet in real life without ever being played become the greatest threats. The game also features various mechanics: titles with high Metacritic scores float in the air, while games with DLC or platform exclusives appear as special enemy types. Upon death, the game displays the release year, developer, Metacritic score, and your playtime for that specific title. Perhaps this will finally help you understand how your unplayed games feel?

Additionally, you can pull data from a friend's public library to have them fight in your place. As this is a demo released ahead of Early Access, developer Nick Taylor plans to add wishlist games as enemies in the future. Other planned features include a system where defeating games left installed but unplayed causes file names to drop like blood, and games with large file sizes will appear as a new type of enemy.

While Game Quest features relatively simple visuals, it is a game that any Steam user can relate to. Seeing games you bought on sale but never touched—or impulse buys left to gather dust—appear as enemies forces a self-deprecating look at your own habits. The game's beta is available for download on Steam.
