Shark Dentist Merges Two Phobias into a Wild Roguelike Adventure

It’s that time of the year again—shark season! And who gets it more than Alice Games? They’ve cooked up this wild marine dentistry game called Shark Dentist. Yep, you read that right—a horror roguelike where the main gig is fixing shark teeth. Go figure.

First thought: the name “Shark Dentist” sounds like one of those offbeat Discovery Channel specials you’d stumble on in the dead heat of July. But don’t let the name fool you—the game trailer is straight-up nightmare fuel. Picture yourself as a vet dentist who’s either gutsy or just plain unlucky, working on these ocean beasts with teeth that could probably cut steel. Your job? Find out what’s bugging this half-asleep shark’s dental health. Screw up? Kiss life goodbye.

Apparently, it’s got this mix of pitch-black humor and spooky vibes, channeling the likes of Buckshot Roulette (if that rings a bell). Alice Games thinks they’ve nailed a distinctive horror recipe with roguelike twists. Sounds bold, right?

So, what’s on your to-do list? Keep the shark breathing, pain in check, and make sure it’s sedated enough not to eat you. Miss one tiny detail, and you’re chum. Tools? They’ve got the standard gritty stuff like a circular saw—yeah, because that sounds totally safe, right? Pick the right moment to use all this, and maybe, just maybe, you don’t end up as an entrée.

Random thing—the game’s set in this creepy basement, and the shark’s hanging like a chandelier. Why? No clue. Is this dentist even legit, or are we playing as some underground tooth fixer? The trailer keeps its secrets, so you’ll have to dive in yourself when the game drops on PC. Hit up Steam if you want to wishlist it. It’s slated as “coming soon,” whatever that means.
