In Loan Shark, players take the role of an indebted fisherman trapped in a cycle of obligation he cannot escape. What begins as a routine night at sea slowly shifts into something far more unsettling. The water grows heavy, the silence stretches, and when the nets come up, they bring more than fish.


Among the catch is Cagliuso, a one-eyed talking fish whose strange gift promises a way out. But every bargain comes with a price.

Built around tension, implication, and psychological pressure rather than jump scares, Loan Shark delivers a focused horror experience where every decision carries weight. The sea becomes both workplace and threat, and the feeling that something unseen is watching never fades.
