Twenty-seven reviews. Zero negative. One player who doesn’t know how to play poker.

Lust Poker Club, released May 22 by developer Cutie Booty, has earned Steam’s Featured Win spotlight and a perfect rating — a distinction it shares with games featuring considerably more clothing. At $5.99 during its launch discount, it’s a story-driven erotic poker game set in a mansion where, according to its store page, “magic meets industry.” Seven opponents, each with distinct styles and motives, await players who want to master “psychological bluffing in realistic, unscripted hands.”

The review section delivers something rare in Steam’s catalog: total candor. One player, 3.4 hours in, wrote: “I don’t even know how to play poker. I just clicked buttons until the girls started banging each other and me.” Another, 4.2 hours deep and apparently channeling a film studies degree, called it “a stunning deconstruction of classic poker” and “a true triumph of anime eroticism.”

Somewhere between those two poles lives an actual card game. The store description emphasizes character stories and genuine bluffing mechanics, suggesting Cutie Booty built something playable beneath the obvious draw. Several reviewers — including one with eight hours logged — praised the gameplay directly, calling it “pleasant” and the characters “very beautiful.”

Sixty concurrent players at time of writing isn’t blockbuster territory, but it’s enough to chart on Steam’s New Releases list. More notable is Valve handing it a Featured Win badge — a quiet signal that the platform’s once-cautious approach to adult content has settled into straightforward acceptance.

The adult games market on Steam has grown for years, but a persistent knock is that gameplay serves as polite pretense. Lust Poker Club seems to be winning over players by delivering on both the cards and the content — or, depending on which review you read, at least one of them.
