Shark Dentist combines two phobias into one ridiculous roguelike
Briefly

Shark Dentist is a horror roguelike game where players assume the role of a shark dentist. They must diagnose and treat the dental issues of a barely sedated shark while managing variables such as heart rate and anesthesia levels. The game emphasizes careful tool use, as mistakes can lead to instant death. The aesthetic combines dark humor with a creepy atmosphere. The context of the shark being in a basement raises questions about the legality and morality of the protagonist's actions.
Players must gently identify the source of a barely sedated shark's dental woes and carefully find a way to solve them. Failure means death.
Inspired by viral sensations like Buckshot Roulette, Shark Dentist blends dark humor, roguelike mechanics, and a deeply creepy aesthetic to deliver a horror experience like no other.
There are a variety of tools at the player's disposal, including a circular saw, which honestly seems like a recipe for instant death, but presumably has some sort of valid use.
Utilizing the right tools and the right timing can mean the difference between a gross-but-successful tooth extraction and an unscheduled beheading.
