Loan Shark, developed by Turin-based Studio Ortica and published by Dark Product, approaches horror in a way that feels grounded and personal. The game focuses on the psychological strain of debt and obligation rather than traditional combat or jump scares. Players navigate a single night at sea, facing choices shaped by consequences that cannot be avoided. In doing so, Loan Shark delivers a tension-driven experience rooted in Northern Italian storytelling traditions, where restraint and inevitability drive narrative rather than spectacle.
