What do you have in your basement. Name the games you decided to hide, and more importantly why you did it. After reading a couple threads recently about hidden games. I was reminded that I had some hidden games of my own.

So I opened up the list to see what was inside, and frankly to my surprise I found pure nostalgia. I found Lifeless Planet a small indie that I'd played through a decade ago. A game I had no actual intention of ever playing again. A game I'd reviewed, and twenty four people found helpful.

I found the Repopulation and Fragmented. The latter I got for free as the former fell through. I'd backed the former as I loved Star Wars Galaxies, but I ended up getting my only survival game that way. Until I picked up Pal World just this year.

I found Saurian another game I kickstarted way back when, and a game I've honestly never ever played a single time. Right next to Montaro another game I've never played, and as far as I can figure I bought it, because it costed less then a dollar.

Lastly I found Satisfactory and Crying Suns. Games who's keys I'd received in a bundle. I believe it was the aid for Ukraine bundle. I'd actually redeemed less then half the keys, and gave a whole bunch to my second cousin.

That bundle is why I have Metro, Fable, Starbound, Quantum Break, System Shock, This War of Mine, Back 4 Blood, and Amnesia. A litany of games that I've still yet to even play. In fact the only reason that Crying Suns and Satisfactory got locked away. Is I have zero chance of playing them.

That's apparently my criteria for choosing which games I'm going to hide. Not that I'm ashamed of having bought them or even of owning these titles. Objectively speaking I now some are actually good. That's why I redeemed the keys for a couple of them. They were just getting in my way.

Anyway I'd love to read why others have hidden games, and what games they've chosen to hide away from view. I'd especially like to read the stories behind those games. I found it was like I'd opened my own personal time capsule.
