    What Is the hook (Maneater)?
    A single player ShaRkPG! But what does that mean? You, the player, are a shark (hooked yet?)!

    Starting off as a shark pup, you are put forth into an aquatic world based around the gulf coast of the southern United States. Your mission is to eat, grow, and evolve as you explore this world and hunt down the man who killed your mother in an epic aquatic RPG adventure.

    Decide if you are a stealthy predator, or perhaps the biggest apex predator in the Gulf of Mexico. Eat, Grow and Evolve to your playstyle! But be careful, as your wreck more destruction along the coast, foes will appear to sink your ambition of revenge.
