  Electron is 'heavy', but this is basically exactly what it was designed for. Electron has alternatives like Neutralinojs, and NWjs. Alternatively, there is Flutter - it's not exactly what you're asking for, but it is very web like, and would be a very strong candidate for this use case. Pick your poison really.

• 22% GPU usage after leaving game over night.

  Melvor's Steam client is built on NW.js, which renders the webpage at the framerate of your monitor. Webpages aren't cheap to render, and if you have a 144hz monitor, then GPU usage go brrrr. The game also launches with the --disable-raf-throttling --disable-background-timer-throttling flags, which mean that it is always running at full tilt, even when minimized or hidden behind another window.
