The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

a strategic card-battling dungeon crawl where careful deck management and turn-based combat create a tense, punishing, yet replayable journey through dark fantasy realms.

What players say

Players are split on Deck of Souls. Many praise the creative soulslike card game concept, but nearly as many report broken achievements that fail to unlock, slow combat limited by a card-per-enemy system, and writing that reads like machine translation. The UI feels unfinished, with a Steam Deck inventory softlock reported.
