I've found another method that also works with the Steam demo. You need to download Goldberg Steam Emu (preferably from here https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator/-/jobs/2987292049/artifacts/download) You only need to extract the steam_api.dll file. From Steam open the demo's local files, go to "Map" and then delete/rename the steam_api.dll inside it, if you delete you can just Verify File Integrity if you want the original file back. You can now paste the steam_api from Goldberg into the folder. Finally and optionally, all you need to do is make a shortcut in Steam for Map001.exe (which is also inside the Map folder from before) with Add Non-Steam Game
Make sure you run the demo first and only then the shortcut so that Steam can install the required files for it to run, or else it might just crash.
EDIT: You MUST run the shortcut or else Steam will just bypass the modified dll and you'll just have the Demo instead of the full app EDIT 2: Apparently this method ONLY works with the Steam demo, but I discovered that all you need to do for this cracked version to work is just go to Map/steam_settings and modify steam_appid.txt, replacing the ID in it with 347400.
So far it doesn't work unfortunatly. I tried NotHyper-Gaster's method but also not successfull. Maybe I did something wrong? But the base doesn't work at all
Everything is tested and scanned before being uploaded, this website is virus free. If you get a trojan, it's false positive, like explained http://igg-games.com/virus-trojan.html.
I made it work at this way: 1: Copy the files "steam_api.dll" and "steam_app.ini" from some cracked game(I get them from Don't Starve Together) to the Map folder(make a backup of the old steam files before pasting the cracked steam files) 2: Right click the "steam_api.ini" file and click on "Properties", uncheck the "Read only" thing. 3: Edit the steam_api.ini file, look for "AppID" and edit the value right after it to 347400. 4: Save the file. 5: Done.
Here's what I said but with better english and explanation. 1: Get the files "steam_api.ini" and "steam_app.dll" from a cracked game, in this case I used the ones from Don't Starve Together. 2: Edit the "steam_api.ini" file and look for a line containing "AppId", change the numbers after it to 37400 and save (if it won't let you save then do it elsewhere or check if the file is "Read only" and uncheck if it is so) 3: Make a backup of the old Steam files inside Map folder and then move the cracked files into there. Then you should open the Map001.exe inside the Map folder to open the program. If this method didn't work for you then probably the cracked files don't work, or maybe they patched this vulnerability for the version you're trying this on.
I didn't expect this would really help someone lmao NiShenmeYìsi!!'s download link may be useful(note that I didn't test it yet) Also note that my solution method does not work on newer versions (only on some)

In case someone still need it. Move to Map folder, run using Map001.exe
(downloaded from Don't Starve...)
Plaease, how me please in a video or in (stepwise) pictures. Thank you.
