Dreaming With Sharks

Take on the role of a Shark doctor whose name is Doc, of course!

Unlike his violent shark peers, Doc's goal in life is to heal people. However, Doc is only granted wonderful surgical abilities after being given strange pills by a mysterious man. Doc excels at his surgeries but experiences wild hallucinations as a side effect. Is he able to keep up his successful work under the watch of a skeptical health inspector?

In the doctor's office, you must monitor the waiting room and analyze what sorts of surgery your patients need. There is a wide variety of patients to meet, all with a unique visual and verbal style. While you take count of your diverse patients, they will share a little with you about what is bothering them, or maybe just what is on their mind.

Once you meet your patients for the day, you must determine what their illness is under the X-ray before healing them in a series of high-intensity minigames! Be careful! Because you are so high on your medication, these minigames appear as abstract, sometimes psychedelic activities.

You may have to perform an amputation on one of your patients, but due to your compromised state, the surgery appears simply as sawing off a tree branch. Maybe a patient will need a surgical incision, which appears as opening a tuna can for a tasty snack! A patient may walk in covered in parasites, which you must punch off of their body.

Despite the blurring lines between reality and hallucination, Doc the shark doctor must lock in and make do.

Day by day, unlock new, strange, and challenging minigames which ask great focus and precision from the player. If the minigames aren't enough of a challenge, don't worry! There are several modifiers to mix up the challenge and always keep the action fresh. Are you able to get an A+ grade by completing minigames in record speed? It is only once you master all the minigames that you can prove yourself to the skeptical investigator and become a true aquatic surgery master!
