Description
Lone Shark is a turn-based game of risk and reward. Swim your own way as the lone loan shark in a sea of deadbeat surfers, all asking to borrow money. Be kind or be ruthless, as decisions affect your reputation ā and whether someone pays up or skips town.
How to Play
*WATCH YOUR BALANCE*
You begin with $1000 and can only go into the red by $1000 yourself.
*DAILY TURNS*
New peeps will ask for money; choose your debtors and terms wisely. $5 daily maintenance cost.
*DEADBEAT OVERDUE DEBTORS*
You have three options:
EXTEND: one more day, increases likeliness of paying next time
THREATEN: chance to collect, but they may evade you!
KILL: increases reputation, but you forfeigt the money

Nice little game. My recommendation is to as you get more ruthless that the people want to borrow more. Or you get take higher interest from the desperate. As its stand you have to play nice to get costumers.
The morality did not seem balanced.
But all in all i liked it. Got all the achievements about the time it felt repetitive so nice timing.
4/5 i reserve 5/5 for games i play more that once. And i feel done wit this.

lovely mechanic :) stuff that you can improve: [1] more investment options: bank (low $), casino (chance of $$$), propaganda (+customers). [2] hiring associates, either thugs to "motivate" your customers to pay on time, staff to manage your paperwork or cops to look away when its time for dinner. [3] a full report about why your customer wants the money or why they are late on the payment (just to add some flavor). [4] random events: a thief steals some money from you, a company needs big money for a proyect, someone is giving better credit than you, ect. [5] maybe some stats, like Hunger, Tireness, Happyness, Wanted level.

There's something incredibly satisfying about killing someone after giving them two extensions. Like, you had your chance bitch, now die.

I gave a guy an extra day to pay, the next day he was still overdue, so I'm like "hell no..." and kill him
