Maneater is an action RPG in which you play a bull shark seeking revenge on a shark hunter named Scaly Pete. Starting as a small pup in the bays of Port Clovis, you hunt fish, fight other predators and attack boaters along the Gulf Coast. Eating helps you grow, and you unlock new body parts and abilities that change how you fight. The whole story is narrated like a reality TV show.
It is a single-player open-world game with a comic tone and a loop of hunting, growing and taking on bigger challenges. The pace is relaxed between missions. Maneater suits players who want a silly, simple action game with clear progression.
