Shark Dentist: A Roguelike That Merges Two Fears into One Wacky Adventure

It’s, like, totally shark season, right? Alice Games? They’ve cooked up this bonkers idea—a marine dentistry game. I know, it’s called Shark Dentist. Seriously. You heard that right. Imagine facing off with a shark, except instead of running, you’re poking around its mouth. Why did I think of that silly shark week show? Maybe because it sounds like something they’d put out mid-July, no joke.

This game isn’t just laughs, though. The trailer? Kinda spooky. You’re this vet dentist—lucky or unlucky, who knows?—but your job? Clean up the teeth of marine nasties with, let’s say, excessive enthusiasm to bite. Your job’s to suss out what’s wrong while hoping not to become a snack. Mess up? Yeah, you’re fish food.

Alice Games tossed out a press release and it made me chuckle and shiver all at once. They’re saying it’s got vibes from weird stuff like Buckshot Roulette. You know, mix in humor, rogue elements, and voila—terrifying game stew.

You’d think a dentist gig’s simple. But no. You’re juggling this whole circus act, keeping the shark sedated, its pain in check, plus your own hands intact. Oh, and they’ve given you a circular saw. For what? I have no clue—death wish maybe? But you gotta time things super carefully or boom, shark shakes off the drugs, and bam—you’re toast.

Also, what’s up with that setting? The shark’s just chilling, hanging out in some basement. Why a basement? Illicit shark dentistry on the down-low? The trailer’s leaving all the juicy bits to our imagination. Dive into it on Windows PC when it drops—my guess is it’ll unpack all these mysteries. For now, you can click to wishlist that bad boy on Steam, pegged with the vague promise of being “coming soon.” Mysterious, right?
