Yes, you need to have the games installed for this program to work. The Utility will detect all the ones you have automatically.
It's actually quite simple! All it does is it replaces a file in the game's folder and the menu will be skipped. This file will be restored to the original once you close the Utility, so if you open the game not using the Utility it'll open normally.
Yes! It includes all the games you have installed from that pack.
Yes! We included some non-Jackbox games which were popular requests to add in other launchers. These are: Use Your Words, What The Dub?! and RiffTrax: The Game. These three are included for being the most popular and the ones that fit perfectly with the rest. We can add more games if necessary.
Yes! This program was tested successfully on Steam Deck. Although some features are only compatible with Windows for now (videos in the game tabs and a custom icon for the program.)
Some features are already planned (like Macos support, controller support and controlling the utility with your phone). You can find these planned features in here https://github.com/AlexisL61/JackboxUtility/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aenhancement
If the feature you want is not on this link, you can suggest it on the Discord server or in the ideas discussion (https://github.com/AlexisL61/JackboxUtility/discussions/categories/ideas)
