Maneater is a single-player open-world action RPG where players control a female bull shark seeking revenge after being maimed by a fisherman. The shark grows by eating marine life, completing quests, and upgrading abilities, allowing it to become a legendary apex predator. Set along the Gulf Coast, the game features a narrative about a documentary crew chronicling the shark's rise, with dynamic ecosystems, day-night cycles, and optional DLC expansions adding new challenges.
