About
You are an angler haunted by huge debts. In the midst of yet another night working at sea, you catch something different: a fish which talks, and promises to make you rich... but at what cost?
A brief (around 30 minutes) fishing horror game about debt and hopelessness. Enjoy a twisted cautionary tale in one sitting.
Underwater eye-cam. Watch the fish biting the lure, then retrieve it as fast as you can. Be careful though: something else may be watching you as well...
Fish and gut. Fly-fish like a pro, then gut your catch to keep 'em fresh. Be careful with the knife though: you don't want to cut yourself.
The talking fish wants a deal. Consider the alluring promises of this mysterious being through surreal dialogues and twisted choices.
The loan shark is coming. This is no relaxing cozy fishing experience. Your time is running out, and something horrible lurks in the water.

This game pretty much told me to give up hope and get a job. 10/10
I can't recommend it as it's highly unoptimised and pulls resources like a new AAA. Otherwise story is interesting enough, fishing is not so fun.
Loan Shark does a fantastic job of imparting the hopelessness of going into debt to a loan shark, and the broad effects it can have, to the player. The interesting characters, multiple dialogue options, and multiple endings make the game very replay-able. The fish gutting could use a bit more polish, but everything else worked well, including the setting, themes, and controls. More games like this please!

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

This game is so ♥♥♥♥. I wasted an hour 15 minutes of my life for there to be 0 scary things, 0 fun. Do not buy this game
This was a super peak game with a pretty deep story line and meaning but I don't wanna spoil anything so overall I would recommend this game I loved it
Bluesky what?
Loved it. Brilliant idea, brilliant execution. Definitely worth your time.
HATA
Выплатил долг, лодку стопнула ПНГ рыба - при включении мотора обратно тепнуло на сушу заявив, что долг не выплачен. овералл игра кусок кала, пнг рыба и деревянные анимации (если они вообще есть, а не заменены серым экраном). Типа хоррор, но страха строго нет. Только смех от дешевизны всего происходящего. Инди и все такое, но, честно, играть не стоит
Loan shark is a phenomenal short indie horror game, well worth.
