To add non-EXE games to Steam, open Steam and click on 'Games' in the top menu, then select 'Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library'. A window will pop up, listing all programs on your computer. If the game you wish to add isn't listed, click 'Browse' and navigate to the game's location on your computer. Once you find the executable file for the game (not necessarily an .exe file, as this applies to games on platforms like macOS as well), select it and click 'Add Selected Programs'. Your non-EXE game will now be accessible through Steam, allowing you to launch it directly from your Steam library.
