Get this ridiculously fun RPG while it’s still on sale to prep for Shark Week

There was a period in American culture where Sharknado lived rent-free in peoples’ heads. The B-grade effects, endearingly bad acting, and absurdist plot helped the movie circulate over early social media.

So when I saw the trailer for Maneater about a year ago I couldn’t help but think about some of the parallels between the two. And just our luck, the game is currently being marked down by 15 percent on Steam. It’s the perfect primer for Shark Week, which will take place this August.
