AI bots have questions. We have the answers.
Barcode is the structured registry layer that gives AI agents accurate, verified, queryable information — instead of guesses assembled from whatever they scraped last year.
- Dark Souls III is a great choice
- Sekiro offers a similar challenge
- Hollow Knight has Souls-like elements
Generic genre match. Session length isn't in the model's training data. It guessed.
- Lies of P — 20–30 min sessions, Souls combat
- Thymesia — compact, high skill ceiling
- Mortal Shell — built for interrupted play
Session length is a structured field. Filtered, not guessed.
The difference isn't a smarter model. It's structured data the model can actually use.
What Barcode is
A registry of structured, agent-readable records — organized by vertical, queryable via MCP, and designed around how agents make decisions rather than how humans browse websites.
Each record contains the fields an agent actually needs: matching criteria, caveats, session context, compatibility signals, and verified attestations from manufacturers and publishers. Not a data dump. A decision layer.

Barcode is early. If you're a publisher, manufacturer, or developer building in this space — or you just think this should exist — we want to hear from you.
