Turn your Steam library into a cosy room of physical games with a special shelf for dodgy sale purchases in Boxroom, which has a demo out

Hide your secret early copy of WTF - Waifu Tactical Force under your bed, where it belongs

If you've ever longed for your Steam library to be a bunch of shelves littered with physical games you can touch, sniff, and agonise about having to shift if you move house, let me introduce you to Boxroom. It takes all of the games you've either bought for pennies in a sale and never got around to playing or paid through the nose for on release and have put 1000 hours into out of sheer sunk-cost fallacy. It sticks their front covers onto boxes you can use to fill a cosy customisable computer room.

"Boxroom boots your actual Steam library into a space you can design, define and decorate to your tastes," developers Nested Loop Studios wrote of their creation. "You can then arrange your Steam library in whatever way best pleases your brain."

Sure enough, the trailer shows a room being filled with shelves, beanbags, beds, and other stuff. Then, a heap of game boxes and posters bearing covers of other video games are flung about. Well, I say that, they're painstakingly arranged in far tidier fashion than you'll find most real life game collections in. God, it's so much easier to keep things looking spick and span in the virtual world, where dust can't tread unless you expressly render it. Why don't we all just jump into our screens?

Seriously, Boxroom not only allows you to virtually feel the "plasticky goodness" of its game boxes, which come complete with the likes of screenshot printouts neatly tucked where the manual would be, it allows you to boot the game in question from its boxes.

There is at least one hoop to jump through, as I found out when I went to try the demo and got a big pop-up instructing me to make sure the game details bit of my Steam profile's settings was set to public. If it isn't, Boxroom can't see which games you've got in order to virtually box them. Look, I just don't want strangers to see that I own 73 different games about fish.

If you fancy giving Boxroom a go, its demo's out now on Steam. There's also a survey you can take to give feedback on additions you'd like to see ahead of its arrival in early access at some point between April and the end of June this year.
