A C# wrapper library for the Steamworks SDK, providing idiomatic .NET access to Steam features like friends, achievements, auth, avatars, and server browsing. It compiles to a single managed DLL with no third-party native dependencies and works in Unity including IL2CPP.

Use cases

• integrate Steam achievements into a Unity game
• get a player's Steam friends list and send messages
• authenticate players with Steam auth session tickets
• query a list of internet game servers with filters
• download user avatars from Steam
• record and read Steam voice chat data
• read app info like install directory and game language

When to choose

• you're building a C# or Unity game that needs Steam integration
• you want a single managed DLL without native third-party dependencies
• you need a permissively licensed (MIT) Steamworks wrapper
• you want async callbacks and events instead of raw function calls

When to avoid

• you're not targeting Steam as a platform
• you need a wrapper for another engine like Unreal or Godot with native C++ access
• you need 32-bit OS support beyond what's offered or unsupported Steam features not covered by the wrapper
