It’s shark season, and no one is aware of that higher than Alice Video games, the developer behind the upcoming marine dentistry simulator, Shark Dentist: an aptly named horror roguelike during which you play — you guessed it — a shark dentist.
Regardless of its moderately amusing title (“Shark Dentist” completely sounds just like the sort of present you’d discover airing on Discovery Channel in the midst of July), the sport’s trailer exhibits off some fairly severe scares. Shark Dentist places gamers into the scrubs of the world’s unluckiest (or bravest) veterinary dentist, who apparently solely works on lethal marine animals with sharp tooth. Gamers should gently determine the supply of a barely sedated shark’s dental woes and thoroughly discover a solution to remedy them. Failure means dying.
“Impressed by viral sensations like Buckshot Roulette, Shark Dentist blends darkish humor, roguelike mechanics, and a deeply creepy aesthetic to ship a horror expertise like no different,” Alice Video games mentioned in a press launch shared alongside the gory trailer.
There are fairly a number of variables gamers might want to preserve monitor of to remain alive, from the shark’s coronary heart fee and ache ranges to its dose of anesthesia. A single slip-up will end in a swift and bloody dying. There are a number of instruments on the participant’s disposal, together with a round noticed, which actually looks as if a recipe for immediate dying, however presumably has some type of legitimate use. Using the appropriate instruments and the appropriate timing can imply the distinction between a gross-but-successful tooth extraction and an unscheduled beheading, because the shark will instantly shake off the anesthesia and assault gamers the second they make a mistake.
Oddly, the terrifying aquatic affected person is hanging from the ceiling of a dingy basement. Why is the shark in a basement? Why is it hanging from the ceiling? Is the sport’s protagonist practising unlawful shark dentistry? The trailer doesn’t give any away any solutions, however gamers will presumably have the ability to uncover the reality when Shark Dentist launches for Home windows PC. It’s presently obtainable to wishlist on Steam, the place its launch date is listed as “coming quickly.”
