How are games like Sakura Santa chosen?
Every game is described by the tags Steam players vote on it. Rare, specific tags such as Visual Novel, Anime, Nudity count far more than catch-all ones like "Indie" or "Singleplayer", and each game is scored on how closely its whole tag profile matches Sakura Santa's. Popularity never affects the ranking.
