From indie developer Alice Games comes Shark Dentist, an unconventional horror experience that redefines animal care in the most terrifying way possible. The game is currently available for wishlisting on Steam, though its release date remains unannounced.

While sharks frequently appear as antagonists in action and horror titles, Shark Dentist subverts expectations by placing players in the role of an underwater dentist. Rather than fighting these predators, gamers must carefully maintain their dental health using authentic surgical tools in a claustrophobic clinic setting.

The gameplay involves performing intricate dental procedures on sedated sharks, including:

• Teeth cleaning
• Infection treatment
• Surgical interventions

Players must monitor multiple vital signs while using tools like scalpels, syringes, and dental drills. One miscalculation could awaken the patient with fatal consequences.

As a roguelike, Shark Dentist features:

• Randomly generated dental cases
• Unpredictable equipment failures
• Dynamic pain responses
• Permanent death mechanics

The developers cite classic horror films like Jaws and Saw as inspiration for the game's tense atmosphere. With its realistic graphics and high-stakes gameplay, Shark Dentist promises to deliver a uniquely stressful experience that blends medical simulation with survival horror.

Unlike traditional medical simulators, this title removes all communication between practitioner and patient - unless you count being eaten as a form of feedback. The game challenges players to interpret a deadly creature's needs through observation alone.
