About The Game

You’re an indebted angler, trapped in a vicious cycle of borrowing and desperation. One dark, endless night at sea you haul up something unnatural: a talking fish named Cagliuso. It promises you riches — but its bargains come with terrifying strings. In LOAN SHARK, the nets you cast bring more than fish. They pull you toward sacrifice, secrets, and a deadline you may never meet. The “loan shark” isn’t just metaphoric — something is stalking the waters, your time is running out, and every deal you strike pushes you deeper into the unknown." • Short, intense experience – Designed for a compact but unforgettable playthrough. • Underwater eye-cam mechanic – Watch the lure in submerged view, anticipate the bite, then pull fast while the depths watch you. • Fish & gut mechanic – After you reel them in, you must gut the fish yourself… carefully. Mistakes may cut you. • Surreal dialogues & meaningful choices – Meet Cagliuso and barter with a one-eyed talking fish. Every choice alters your path. • Time pressure & looming threat – The loan shark is coming. The clock ticks. Something hides in the darkness. • Atmospheric horror & creeping dread – The deep sea becomes your adversary; the familiar becomes monstrous.
