Loan Shark Build 19566205

Loan Shark throws you into a tense, short-form fishing horror about debt, desperation, and the price of easy answers. You play an angler drowning in obligations who hauls up a strange, talking fish that promises wealth - but its offers come with unsettling strings attached. The game plays like a twisted cautionary tale you can finish in a single sitting, mixing simple fishing mechanics with surreal dialogue and creeping dread.

Why it stands out
- Tight, atmospheric experience: Designed to be played in about 30 minutes, Loan Shark delivers a focused, unsettling story without filler.
- Low-key but effective horror: The threat builds gradually - an underwater eye-cam, something watching beneath the surface, and the looming arrival of a metaphorical "loan shark" create tension more by mood than by jump scares.
- Interactive fishing loop: Cast, watch the bite from an underwater camera, and reel in quickly. The fishing is tactile and anxiety-inducing rather than relaxed.
- Dark choices and dialogue: The talking fish tempts you with bargains through surreal conversations, forcing moral and practical decisions that shape the experience.
- Hands-on payoff: After catching fish you must gut them to keep them fresh - a simple but grim activity that reinforces the game’s bleak tone and the risk of making careless moves.

Who should play it
- Fans of short narrative horror or experimental indie games.
