Steam – How to install a Steam game using the game installer exe

steam

I bought cook serve delicious a while ago from their website before I got steam. Now that I have steam installed, I'd like to have cook serve delicious in my library; however obviously I don't want to have to buy the game again. I have the original installer .exe file that I downloaded when I bought the game. Is there any way I can use this to install my game into my steam library so it can receive the full benefits that steam provides (automatic updates etc.)?

Best Answer

Unfortunately not. Although you can add a shortcut to the game on Steam and the Steam overlay will even show up, that still doesn't do much and it's still a non-Steam game.

However, chances are that you may have received a redeemable Steam code with your order, or that you may have one accessible somewhere with your purchase.
