An RPG built on a real dilemma: every citizen you drain gives large experience but permanently degrades their district, and the game is genuinely playable without killing anyone. The London setting and dialogue are strong. Combat is stiff and repetitive, and pacifist runs leave you badly underlevelled for bosses the game does not scale down.

You play the shark. Eat fish, wildlife and swimmers to evolve, upgrade your bite and hunt the hunters back, all narrated as a straight-faced wildlife documentary. The B-movie tone is the appeal and it commits to it. The recurring complaint is technical rather than creative: crashes, stutter and startup failures on modern Windows come up constantly, even from players who finished it.
