Absolutely, you can! Just click on your username in the lower-right corner of the Steam client, then select 'Offline' from the dropdown menu. This way, you'll appear offline to your friends, but you can still play games and access Steam's features without interruption.

Sure can! Going invisible while still creeping around in your game library is as easy as pie. Just hit 'Invisible' mode instead of 'Offline' if you wanna see who's online without them seeing you. Sneaky, sneaky.

Yes, but remember, appearing offline won't hide your in-game status if the game publishes it elsewhere (like in-game leaderboards or third-party sites).
