Also maybe I can add Help button to scummvm game launcher page or modify the About screen or even show link to help somewhere on the launcher page.

A simple and quick way to show up extended information at least ONCE is by using the postinstall script: Simply put your instructions inside a /opt/scummvm/helpctrl.txt file and use the postinstall command "maemo-confirm-text". This is originally meant for Licence Agreements, but I use it in mClock as a one-time info.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
    gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor
    maemo-confirm-text HelpControls /opt/scummvm/helpctrl.txt

First line is the icon update that you probably do already, second line is where the fun starts. "HelpControls" is the title of the message window to appear.
