## What it is
A Rust terminal user interface client wrapping steamcmd for launching, updating, and downloading Steam games from the terminal. It acts as a lightweight graphical wrapper for users whose Steam client is broken or unwanted.

## Use cases
- launch steam games from the terminal
- manage steam library without the steam client
- download and update games via steamcmd
- run steam games on linux with wine fallback
- lightweight steam client alternative for tiling window managers

## When to choose
- your Steam client crashes or won't run on your Linux setup
- you prefer terminal-based workflows and minimal clients
- you want to script custom launch behavior per game

## When to avoid
- you need full Steam features like chat, store, or achievements
- you play DRM-heavy games requiring the full Steam client
- you want an actively developed project with new features

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, gui, game
- domain: gaming-tools, cross-platform
- platform: cli, rust
- tags: steam, steamcmd, tui, terminal-ui, game-launcher, wine, command-line, linux
