If you guys want to play Salem with Steam overlay and maybe have some friends ask about it, here's a link to an easy tutorial:

Same exact concept, enjoy!

I just want Salem to be really on Steam.

Haven't tried it, but from seeing other people playing non-steam games, it presumably would show up to your steam friends as something like "currently playing Salem (non-steam game)" and possibly log your hours which can be displayed or hidden publicly (not sure it logs hours for non-steam games tho)

Plus there would be the shift-tab steam chat shortcut (presumably, assuming since he said it gives the overlay) which is somewhat nice if there's some way to play salem fullscreen (thought I saw someone talking about fullscreen, but I check the wiki/forum/etc too frequently to bother)

Personally I'd rather the embarrassing percentage of the time I spend playing Salem be as off-the-record as possible so it's not for me :P

I wonder what a Salem Team Fortress 2 tie-in hat would look like.

They already have the plague doctor mask.

Edit: Falcon Cage Hat!

Wtf, Pope, on steam are quite good amount of survival sandbox games with permdeath, and they exist, earn money and are good ¦] If you write -game with permdeath, people know about it, cant have pretensions ¦]

No time is logged, but if you play other games, your friends can see that you are playing Salem instead of being offline or just online and not doing anything. No fullscreen that I know of but overlay certainly works! :)

As someone said before, gives you the Steam overlay and shows people you are playing Salem on your friendslist. I play some Steam games, but they might think I've quit if they don't see me online at all. Now friends can see I'm busy on Salem and may even ask about it.
