Shark Dentist: A Hilarious Roguelike Blending Two Phobias

Shark season’s here, huh? So, Alice Games decided to drop this wild thing called Shark Dentist. Yep, you heard it — a game where you’re actually fixing a shark’s teeth. I mean, really? First thought? Sounds like some bizarre reality show they’d run at 3 a.m. on Discovery Channel.

Anyway, saw the trailer and honestly — it’s intense. You play as this weirdly brave soul, some vet dentist who deals with, of all things, the scariest toothy sea beasts ever. Let me tell you, figuring out how to clean a shark’s chompers without getting eaten isn’t your average Tuesday activity.

They said Shark Dentist’s kind of like Buckshot Roulette. You know, those games that blend humor with horror? Somehow, creepily, it works. I’m sure there’s some twisted fun in it. Just watch out for that erratic shark heart rate, apparently. One second, you’re an oceanic hero, the next? A snack. And yeah — tools! A circular saw? Seems like a really fast way to end up in shark chow. But hey, maybe it’s got some secret trick.

Oh, and the shark? Just hanging there in some sketchy, dim basement. Why a basement? No clue. Making the setup more lawless-sounding, right? Seriously, I half expect to stumble into a backstory about black-market shark dental care or something equally nuts as I explore.

So, yeah. The game’s almost out, sitting pretty on Steam’s wishlist section, teasing us with a vague “coming soon.” Seems like one heck of a ride for those brave enough to jump in.
