Shark Dentist: A Ridiculous Roguelike Merging Two Phobias

Shark season again. It’s a thing, trust me. And guess who’s been busy because of it? Alice Games is brewing up something wild—“Shark Dentist.” Yep, you play as a dentist. For sharks. Who even thinks of that?

The name cracks me up, sounds like some weird late-night documentary. But no joke, I caught the trailer and it’s got some seriously creepy vibes. Imagine throwing on scrubs and working on a shark’s teeth. Not any shark—like, the almost-eat-you-alive-if-you-slip kind. Barely sedated, mind you. You screw up, you’re toast.

Alice Games spilled some beans in their press release. Think Buckshot Roulette but in the sea. Dark humor mashed with roguelike craziness and a dash of horror. Supposed to make you jump out of your skin. Fun, right?

Here’s the kicker: you’re juggling all this stuff—shark’s heart rate, anesthesia levels, the whole shebang. Miss a beat? Goodbye, cruel world. They’ve got this circular saw, which seems like a death wish, but I guess it’s got its purpose. The trick? Timing. Hit it right, and you’re a hero. Mess it up, and, well, shark 1, you 0.

The weirdest part? The shark is just hanging out—literally—from a basement ceiling. Why a basement? What’s it doing there? Maybe our brave dentist is underground in more ways than one? Trailer doesn’t spill that secret. Anyway, it’s on Steam, if playing dentist to a shark tickles your fancy. Release date? Mysterious “coming soon.” Classic.
