The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A tense, atmospheric short horror game about a debt-ridden angler who makes a desperate deal with a talking fish.

What players say
Players describe Loan Shark as a brief horror game about debt, taking about 30 minutes to an hour to finish. The story carries a clear message about predatory lending that feels integrated rather than preachy. Reviews consistently note the game's short length, and a few mention that its horror comes from a sense of helplessness rather than jump scares.
