Is it possible, to make a multiple game launcher with godot?

Yes, your top level game would be the launcher/selector and the sub-games would be specific scenes implementing their own respective game logic and handling loading their own specific sub-scenes in turn.

And if it's already exported to .exe?

Maybe you could load the .pck files of each of the sub games? I've done a test project that kinda did this, but it was unwieldy and I ultimately scrapped the project.

I used this page on the documentation as a reference when I implemented the test project, if you are interested in looking into how to load .pck files.

I checked "embed pck"

You could use Godot to create a launcher that runs other exported projects using OS.execute(). This works even with applications not made with Godot.

How to use this function (pls make an example)?

OS.execute() is well-documented in the class reference :) https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/classes/class_os.html#class-os-method-execute

I can't understand it. Please make an example when you just want to open an exe file

Here's an example from the documentation, showing how to open the command prompt using OS.execute:

OS.execute("CMD.exe", ["/C", "cd %TEMP% && dir"], true, output)

Essentially, based on my understanding, the execute command works where the first argument is the path to the executable or thing you want to execute, and then the second argument is an array of flags/arguments you want to pass to the executable. If you are just wanting to launch another game, then you can do something like this:

OS.execute(path_to_game_here, [])

and then it should start the game at the given path.
