The Silent Companion for Game Discovery

For years, gaming has struggled with one of its biggest paradoxes: discovery. The phrase "cut through the noise" has become a cliché, but the problem is real. With TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and endless storefronts all competing for attention, it is harder than ever for players to find the right game and for developers to get noticed.

In 2024, nearly 19,000 titles launched on Steam, up a third from the year before. That's around fifty new releases every single day. What should be abundance feels like overload. For most studios, it means slipping into obscurity. For most players, it means endless scrolling.

That's why we built Thrum.gg. Still an MVP, but with one clear goal: to see if people respond to a different way of finding games. Not through carousels or ads, but through simple conversation, inside WhatsApp, Discord, or Telegram. Players tell Thrum how they feel, how much time they have, or what device they're on, and in seconds they get one game that fits. If it clicks, they play. If not, they come back and try again.

The early tests are promising. A large group of people are already using Thrum in WhatsApp. Their reactions are positive, and their conversations reveal the same truth again and again: everyone just wants to find the right game as quickly as possible.

Today's discovery systems don't deliver that. Players spend more time watching games than playing them. On average, 8.5 hours per week watching streams versus 7.4 hours playing. Storefronts frustrate with irrelevant queues. Subscriptions cause stress with "leaving soon" banners. The content meant to drive gaming ends up distracting from gaming itself. We are feeding attention, not play.

Thrum is built to close that gap. It's a recommending tool in your pocket, always there, never in your face. On the train, in the metro, on the couch at home. The silent companion that takes players straight to the fun.

Key Features of Thrum.gg
- Instant picks: chat and get a recommendation in seconds
- AI Mood Engine: matches games to how you feel right now
- 25,000+ titles: from AAA hits to indie gems, with direct store links
- Chat-native: no app downloads, works inside WhatsApp
- For Gen Z and beyond: discovery that feels like chatting with a friend

Early testers report average conversations of 20+ messages per session and retention rates that already beat typical mobile apps.

Why This Matters
- Over 1,000 new games launch every week, but most go undiscovered
- Gamers spend 7-10 minutes scrolling before choosing, often guided more by ads than fit
- 40% quit within 30 minutes because the game wasn't what they expected

Thrum fixes this. In tests, 3 out of 4 players actually played the game they were recommended, on the same day.
