Devolver Digital has published historical adventure game Card Shark, available for Nintendo Switch, along with Windows and Mac through Steam.

Developed by UK independent game studio Nerial, Card Shark features art by Nicolai Troshinsky depicting 18th-century French towns and remote mansions. Players must employ cunning, intrigue, and deceit to cheat at cards, using card marking, false shuffles, deck switching and false deals to dupe opponents.

The fully orchestrated soundtrack is arranged by Andrea Boccadoro in London, featuring over one hour of period music. The music score features pieces by influential 18th century musicians, including Claude Debussy, Johann Sebastian Bach and Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges.

The digital soundtrack for Card Shark is available for purchase through Steam, and streaming on Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited platforms. An official music video featuring recording footage of "Corsica II" can be viewed on the Devolver Youtube channel. A video playlist highlighting art and music from the game is streaming on YouTube Music.
