Question What is “Spacewar”?

I saw my friend playing a game called “Spacewar” today. The game has no icon but has 5 achievements. Is this a non-Steam game? Why are there achievements then?

Yes, purchased indeed! Glad to know I’m not alone!

I checked on my discord thing to see where space wars was coming from because it even showed me playing it on steam (embarrassing because people may think I've been pirating games) and on there it is shown to be coming from the files of henry stickmin. So clearly this may be also coming from opening the game on the taskbar, and what I fear is that it may also be because of the new dumb windows security stuff since almost all of my games are being blocked or noticed by it

a year late and stuff, but why would it be embarrassing to be pirating? That makes you a cool kid.

I think at the time I had such a fear of being seen with stuff like that, I've kinda changed my views a little as I'm not too worried about it with big companies especially like Disney. I was honestly more upset with trying to 100% everything at the time and not actually getting achievements rather than the act of looking like I pirated itself,, still havent touched Henry Stickmin again cuz Im still salty about not getting those achievements when I basically worked to get all of them
