Shark Dentist: A Wild Roguelike That Blends Two Phobias

Alright, it’s shark season again, right? And, funnily enough, Alice Games is diving into the deep end with this wild, wacky thing called “Shark Dentist.” Yep, you heard that right. It’s some kind of marine dentistry horror game. Picture this: you’re a dentist, but for sharks. Absurd? Totally something they’d run on Discovery Channel in midsummer, right? Weirdly intriguing.

So this trailer for Shark Dentist—I watched it, and oh man, it’s kinda terrifying. You, as the player, are this unlucky soul with just a dental degree, I guess, trying to fix up a shark’s smile. And it’s not your average tooth cleaning. Get it wrong? You’re fish food. No joke.

Alice Games dropped a line about how they’re mixing up the terror vibes with dark humor. And it’s a roguelike—those games where dying is the whole point? What’s up with that trend anyway? So there’s this creepy vibe throughout, and it’s, like, oddly charming. Or not. Depends on your level of sanity, I suppose.

Now, here’s the kicker. Trying not to die while holding dental tools like a circular saw or something (which seems a bit much, right?)—one wrong move, and it’s game over. Literally. A successful extraction might end in… I dunno… high-fives with a shark? Mess up, and you’re a snack. No pressure, huh?

I noticed, and this is weird, the shark is… in a basement? Hanging from the ceiling? So many questions. Illegal shark dentistry? Is the protagonist hiding from ocean police? No clues from the trailer, and I’ve got speculations but zero answers. But hey, if curiosity’s biting at ya, it’s gonna be on Windows PC soon, and you can wishlist it on Steam. Release date? Still playing hard to get.
