Shark Mart Co-op Shop Simulator Debuts Free Public Demo on PC
Developers stre1itzia and Andryash, alongside publisher Polden Publishing, have released the first public demo for Shark Mart, a cooperative shop simulation game arriving on PC. The free demo launched on September 30, 2026, and is available for anyone to try. In Shark Mart, up to four players take on the role of a shark disguised in a dolphin mask, running a storefront with a dark secret hidden beneath it. The title supports one to four players with online co-op and ships with localization in multiple languages, including English, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese.
Shark Mart casts players as a shark wearing a cute dolphin mask, tasked with operating a seemingly ordinary ocean shop. While maintaining a friendly storefront, the real objective is more sinister: luring unsuspecting customers into a secret basement and cooking them. According to the announcement, hiding sharp teeth behind a smiling, hardworking facade is central to the experience. The game supports up to four players in online co-op, and team coordination is required to pull off the deception without raising suspicion from visitors who never expect a thing.
On the surface, Shark Mart plays like a typical shop management game. Players stock shelves with products popular among fish, including seashells, seaweed, and even worms. The store also offers a wash service for whales, polishing their bodies until they shine. Working the register and restocking shelves are handled efficiently with the help of teammates. The game emphasizes cheerful, hardworking dolphin storefronts that keep customers smiling throughout the day, all while something darker lurks below the shop floor.
When sales are slow, players can guide customers down to the basement and turn them into lunch. Sending an unsuspecting, fresh customer into the secret underground area demands coordinated teamwork, and cooking the meal must be done properly before it is enjoyed. Tension rises when the fish police arrive, forcing players to clean up the scene, hide their fangs, and lie their way out while keeping a smile. Shark Mart has no confirmed release date or price yet, though the free demo is available now. For fans of chaotic co-op simulators, this one is worth watching.
