Shark Dentist: A Hilarious Roguelike Merging Two Common Fears

Shark season sneaks up, doesn’t it? Alice Games gets this, especially with their new game, Shark Dentist. Yup, you heard me right—Shark Dentist. Honestly, I thought it sounded like one of those bizarre TV marathons you’d stumble on during a lazy July afternoon. But get this, it’s a roguelike horror game where—surprise surprise—you try to yank a tooth from a barely snoozing shark. Yeah, you see where this is going.

The trailer, oh man, it’s something. Picture this: world’s gutsiest vet dentist—you—elbow-deep in razor-sharp situation. One slip and it’s curtains for you. The vibe is somehow both hilarious and terrifying. Like, you’re thinking, “Did they just mash up Buckshot Roulette and Jaws?” It’s got this twisted humor undercurrent but make no mistake, you’ll need nerves of steel.

Game mechanics sound wild. Balancing anesthesia doses while checking the shark’s higher-than-usual heart rate. One wrong move and—blammo!—bloodbath. And who in their right mind uses a circular saw on a shark? Apparently, that’s a thing here. But hey, get it right and you might just survive another day, dodging an unexpected decapitation as Mr. Shark tries to make you his midday snack.

Let’s pause for a sec. Why is there a shark in a basement, hanging from the ceiling? Who’s running this covert shark dentistry gig? The trailer doesn’t spill the beans—keeps you guessing. Maybe the full game has answers, or maybe it’s just another wacky twist. Anyway, the game’s up for wishlisting on Steam, with a tantalizing “coming soon” release date. Grab your scrubs and listen out for fin flutters—it’s gonna be crazy.
