Maneater is a 3D action-sandbox game developed by Tripwire Interactive, where you play as a man-eating shark and fight, kill, eat and evolve to become the apex predator you were born to be.While filming a cable show about shark-hunting near the Gulf Coast city of Port Clovis, third-generation shark-hunter and captain of the Cajun Queen, "Scaly Pete" Pierre LeBlanc, hears about a man-eating female bull shark terrorizing a nearby beach. After seeing the shark kill the first responding hunters, Pete takes the shark down with a harpoon shot as she charges him. As he guts the day's catch, Pete sees the shark was pregnant with a female pup. After cutting the newborn to mark her so that he will remember her when she's worthy prey, the pup bites off one of his hands and is flung aside for her troubles.And that is where your story begins.The game released in May 2020 for the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, with next-gen ports for the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 arriving following their launches in November. A port for Nintendo Switch dropped in May 2021. An Expansion Pack titled Truth Quest was released on August 31, 2021 for all platforms except the Switch.Daryl Hall & John Oates' song "Maneater" has no relation to this game, nor is the song a part of this game's soundtrack (such a missed opportunity!). | |

Gaia's Lament | |

Gaia's Lament: It's subtle, but the land is sickly, there are dilapidated buildings, and even a broken down nuclear plant with a nuclear fallout region, as well as Sickly Green Glow areas. The safe haven grottos feature broken down but still working technology. In this setting, one might consider the shark as Gaia's Vengeance. | |

Peninsula of Power Leveling: Dead Horse Lake becomes this after you've progressed into the post-game, as it not only has a good chunk of virtually all of the three normal nutrients in the game, but is and remains the best place to find and hunt albino animals from which Dead Horse Lake has better spawn rates for such animals than anywhere else in the game, only rivaled by the temporarily polluted Sapphire Bay. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Where to begin? Sharks don't have sonar.note They DO have an electromagnetic sense, but it doesn't work quite the same way. Bull sharks can't breach like dolphins.note Some species of shark do regularly jump out of the water, such as spinner sharks and certain populations of Great White shark as part of their hunting behaviour. Non-predatory breaching has been recorded in basking sharks and has anecdotally been reported as a potential form of play in Great Whites (one of the only sharks that might be recorded showing play behaviour). Breaching to traverse obstacles is pretty much unheard of, and breaching is non-existent in bull sharks. Sharks don't cry out in pain or really make any sounds. Sharks are also incapable of bursting onto the shore and dragging prey back into the ocean. In fact, the "shark" has more in common with an orca than a shark. The narrator acknowledges this, though, and the game goes into pure science fiction territory such as giving the bull shark an electric bite. A single specimen developing new or altered characteristics is mutation, not evolution. The narrator and some mission descriptions acknowledge the Misplaced Wildlife as well, particularly in regard to the presence of muskellunge — a pike fish native to the Great Lakes — in the Gulf. The Mother is indicated to be the same shark who killed Scaley Pete's father as she had a rusty harpoon in her side that belonged to his father. However, it's eventually revealed that Pete was only a kid when his dad died and he's currently in his 50s, which means the mother shark must have been over 40 years old when she died. In real life, Bull Sharks can only live up to 12 to 16 years old in the wild, with one shark being recorded as living up to 30 years old due to living in captivity. Due to the strong theme of mutation in the game, this particular shark may have also been affected by the sunken nuclear plants. You don't have to keep moving for the shark to breathe, and can leave her idle without her drowning. Though this particular bit of license is probably inspired by the aforementioned Jaws Unleashed, in which you did have to keep moving (and it was found less than fun), and one of the loading screens indicates that the shark somehow has spiracles — an organ found in some sharks that allows them to breathe while stationary. | |

David Versus Goliath | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_1b3b48f3 | comment |
David Versus Goliath: You might be a Shark but that doesn't make you the biggest thing out there. Even among sharks you are a Bull and the Great Whites are often larger until you hit the Elder stage of growth. The bosses include an Orca and a Sperm Whale that vastly outsize even the biggest shark. Zig-zagged with the humans. You're easily bigger than them, so the real boss is their massive boats that can look like tanks on water for the late bosses. | |

The Ghost: The cameraman and narrator, who may or may not be the same person, of the Show Within a Show aren't seen in-game. The alleged Mega that killed Pete's father never appears although it's heavily implied that the Mother was said Mega given the presence of Pete's father's harpoon and Kyle's assertion that all sharks were "mega-sized" to the then-adolescent Pete. His Fatal Flaw, however, prevents Pete from realizing this. | |

Parents as People: Pete's treatment of his son, Kyle, stems from how his own father raised him. Both men loved their sons but rarely interacted with them due to their careers. As such, Pete can be hard on Kyle but he shows in private that he does love him and respects his decision to study Marine Biology at university rather than become a fisherman like his dad. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: Port Clovis is an utter shithole. Every area is densely populated with predators, there is rampant pollution everywhere you look — largely due to Sunshine Solutions using the city as a dumping ground for everything from toxic sunscreen to military mutagens, the waterways are policed by freelance shark hunters like Scaly Pete without any police oversight (given how easily he runs around polluting and attacking wildlife), with many of them being ex-cons who violate parole to go shark-hunting; and the narrator makes it clear that the human inhabitants are all vapid, selfish materialists who expand the city and destroy the environment for the sake of luxury. Even the broader world is indicated to be an unpleasant place, if the Landmarks/Easter Eggs are to be believed, what with genetically-engineered super soldiers being mass-cloned, kaiju and eldritch gods rampaging around the place, and extraterrestrials infrequently visiting. | |

Uncertain Doom | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_2854b56d | comment |
Uncertain Doom: After a fight with the Bull Shark, Kyle tried to extinguish the flames but it resulted in the boat exploding. Kyle's body was never found, there was no blood in the water and it's strongly indicated that the shark ate him. The show uses #WheresKyle to fuel the idea that Kyle survived the explosion and escaped the shark. In the climactic final battle, Scaly Pete detonates some explosives in a last-ditch effort to kill the Bull Shark, the ship explodes and the ship sinks to the bottom of the sea. The credits music initially appears to indicate that Pete succeeded in killing the shark and both characters don't re-emerge from the water. That being said, the credits music changes to a sinister tone as if to suggest the shark survived. | |

Revenge Myopia | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_3184dfaa | comment |
Revenge Myopia: Pete considers sharks to be little more than pests fit only for slaughter. During one of his shark hunts, he casually guts the player's mother and then tosses away the newborn player like it's nothing. After the player accidentally causes an explosion that seemingly kills Pete's son, Pete himself becomes obsessed with killing the player and prepares for the final hunt by using a World War II-era torpedo boat and contaminants to pollute the oceans where the player lurks. At this point, it's hard to tell who the true monster is. | |

Create Your Own Villain | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_326a44a1 | comment |
Create Your Own Villain: The baby shark had no real attachment to its mother (most sharks don't) but neither was it interested in revenge until Pete casually scarred it just so he could recognize it when it was bigger. The first thing the baby player shark does is bite his hand off in self-defense and it escalates from there. Later on, Pete goes a bit nutty and tries contaminating the ocean with pollutants to kill the shark, but this just turns a zone of the game into a mutagen-rich area, the same mutagen responsible for making the shark abnormally large and superpowered. | |

Out of Focus: Crayfish Bay is not changed at all regarding what new content Truth Quest adds, and much like in the base game you revisit it only for completion's sake and is entirely optional from the main story. This is noteworthy because virtually all other areas in the main game get at least some form of additional content, such as main story objectives or in the form of optional objectives for 100% Completion. | |

Disposing of a Body | |

Disposing of a Body: One area is a pool called "Dixie Mafia Disposal Service"; the shark will find a bunch of corpses wearing Cement Shoes. There are also other places and locations that are similar, and not only are there corpses wearing cement shoes, there are also other corpses that have been disposed of in the typical Mafia way from body bags to cars that have presumably been pushed into the water with victim inside of it. The shark can decide to target the Mafiosos on the beach instead, but the corpse also make fine meals themselves. | |

Psychological Projection | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_3e87fc1f | comment |
Psychological Projection: Scaley Pete blames a lot of his problems on the shark due to his anger issues, his hatred of sharks stemming from his father's death. Pete claims he was killed by a megalodon but Kyle believes his grandfather was killed by a regular shark and Pete was just so young and traumatised by it that he exaggerated the incident. When Kyle is seemingly killed by the shark, Pete blames the shark and sets out on the warpath in order to put her down for good, even though Kyle's alleged death was merely an accident: Pete set fire to the shark and the creature unintentionally knocked off a fuel panel while flailing around in pain. Kyle tried to put out the flames but was too late and he was knocked off the boat during the explosion. His body was never found. | |

Despite this, Pete does want to see his son graduate from college and succeed in a career outside of shark-hunting. | |

Green Aesop: As noted in Gaia's Lament, the game's own misuse of the term evolution can be an in-universe reflection of how mutations can be mistaken for evolution when the public is ignorant of the damage they do to the environment and wildlife. This gives the lesson that we should be more considerate of the environment and wildlife, and not use ignorance and wrath to justify atrocities. | |

Government Conspiracy | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_5a4aa505 | comment |
Government Conspiracy: Kyle thinks the government created a genetically engineered megalodon. The shark the gamer plays as might as well be, since the player earns DNA points to create unnatural mutations, and Horzine — a black ops military R&D group — expresses the desire to obtain the Maneater's corpse should it display anything unusual. In addition, there's also the gamma radiation and nuclear waste that permeates the area. The reveal trailer for the game's first DLC, Truth Quest indicates that the narrator has come to believe this as well following the events of the game and aims to expose it to the public. | |

Gang Up on the Human: Predators and humans always go after the playable character. You'll never see shark hunters targeting a mako, hammerhead, or great white; and conversely you'll never see any of them attack a human. This can be intensely frustrating if you're doing a battle against a shark hunter boss or an Apex Predator only to have it interrupted by shark-hunting divers because you've drifted into an area where they spawn. | |

Breath Weapon: By equipping the Atomic Body, you gain the ability to use a beam attack fired from your mouth, by taking aim by holding down the bite button, then letting go and unleashing the attack proper. Holding the button down also slows down time to better aim, and also slows down the timer on the active ability as well to prevent you from wasting time just trying to take aim against a given target. | |

Truth in Television: Subtly in play, as most people know, sharks in general don't actually like the taste of humans, which don't provide enough of the nutrients a shark needs. In-game, humans provide a tiny amount of health and protein, that if it wasn't for needing to kill them for objectives/to get the hunters who provide upgrades, you wouldn't bother. Aside from fulfilling Jaws fantasies, anyway, which sharks don't have for obvious reasons. The devs also chose to make the playable character a bull shark, which is not only one of the species actually known to attack humans, but frequently swims inland into fresh water. | |

Guns Do Not Work That Way | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_95ff52c7 | comment |
Guns Do Not Work That Way: In reality, when hitting water, bullets are almost immediately stopped as if hitting steel. They do not pierce the water and continue with any speed as they do in the game. It's an Acceptable Break from Reality, however, as the game would be too easy if all the shark needed to do to avoid gunfire was to go more than a foot underwater. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_99ddfcec | comment |
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: By killing your mother, scarring you as a pup, and tossing you out into the wilderness so you can be "fair game" later, Scaly Pete became the catalyst for possibly the most dangerous marine predator on earth. What follows is an uncountable number of gruesome human deaths, a severe depletion in the population of a number of sea species, an enormous amount of property damage, the assumed death of his son, the loss of not one but two limbs, horrible scarring, and pollution of the eco-system. Needless to say, Pete done goofed. Especially considering that the pup got a taste for human flesh in the first place because Pete's hand was the very first thing it ate. | |

Double Jump: From level 2 onwards, when you breach the water, you can make the shark lunge further while still in the air. Once you have fully leveled up the shark, it can lunge three times while on the air, effectively creating a quadruple jump. The mother in the opening can also do this. | |

Took a Level in Badass: The normal predators appearing within Plover Island are all higher leveled than their original main game counterparts, thus giving them an early edge against the player in regards to size matchup. Not only that, but as listed under Sea Monster above, three of the main game predatory animals now appear with the same mutations that the Maneater had been able to use exclusively prior, and can now fully use their nasty effects against you assuming you're using a different body type from their own. | |

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_a3515d6 | comment |
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Well, DLC rather than sequel, but the show fits. Scaly Pete was an unhinged human obsessed with killing the shark, and didn’t care how much of the environment he despoiled in the process. Truth Quest’s antagonist likewise causes untold environmental destruction, but more through simply existing as a mutated monster than any malice. The Atomic Leviathan doesn’t even pursue the player; instead, you have to chase it through the game until you catch up to it, at which point it reacts like all the other apex predators you’ve confronted and simply fights back out of territoriality. | |

The alleged Mega that killed Pete's father never appears although it's heavily implied that the Mother was said Mega given the presence of Pete's father's harpoon and Kyle's assertion that all sharks were "mega-sized" to the then-adolescent Pete. His Fatal Flaw, however, prevents Pete from realizing this. | |

No-Sell: Having the exact same body mutation of any of the likewise mutated predators in Plover Island makes you immune to the secondary effects of these respective mutations, such as Bio-Electric cancelling out the stun effects from the Bio-Electric Great White, and so on with the others. The Questers cannot be detected by long ranged sonar like other targets because of their tin foil hats, and they do not have any markers on the map. By the time you finally are able to see any given Quester's icon above them, you're already more than within killing range of them. | |

Sea Monster: Whereas the original game featured Apex predators as bosses, the expansion features "Uber" predators. To wit, we have: A great white shark using Bio-Electric powers An orca using Shadow powers A sperm whale using Bone powers All of the above as an "Irradiated" version combining their original powers with the new Atomic powers A freakin' Mosasaurus with Atomic powers as the final boss of the DLC (called the Atomic Leviathan in-game) On a side note, one could consider the Maneater herself to become one of these by the end of the DLC, reaching an astounding 10 meters long in length at Level 40, the Atomic Set allowing her to basically become the Ultimate Lifeform of the whole game, and the main story of the DLC involving her hunting and prey upon all of the above Apex Predators as part of the main objectives. | |

Cycle of Revenge | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_b7042372 | comment |
Cycle of Revenge: The LeBlanc family is involved in one against Nature, having been shark-hunters for generations. After Pete's father was killed by what Pete remembers as a supernaturally-gigantic shark, he becomes completely obsessed in his pursuit of the "mega", saying he'd kill every shark on Earth if he could. When he catches a pregnant bull shark and pulls the pup out of its dead mother, he even goes so far as to mark its fin so he can know if it's the beast or not once it matures. This earns him the lifelong enmity of the Maneater. The game ends with Pete's own son Kyle dead and Pete — a broken, disfigured madman — killing both the Maneater and himself in a gigantic explosion. The fact that it's a hollow triumph isn't lost on the narrator or the audience. It's heavily implied that the playable shark in the intro with one of Pete's dad's old harpoons in it really was the one that he was looking for, but Pete disagrees because it's just not big enough. Kyle points out Pete was a kid when it happened, so all animals would have looked gigantic. His lust for revenge is so great he can't even recognize it when he's gotten it. | |

Serial Escalation: Everything building up to M.O.L.O.C.H., AKA the Atomic Leviathan, has you tracking down an irradiated pathway of destruction leading you into killing three previous mutated Apex Predators that were now stronger because of being irradiated. Then you get to M.O.L.O.C.H. itself who is flat out the largest predator in the whole game and the fact it has a shield meter keeping much of its HP untouchable. Then about a third of its health remaining, it suddenly calls for help from all three of the Irradiated Apex Predators you fought earlier to suddenly spawn in the arena. | |

Famed In-Story: Scaly Pete is famous for being a shark hunter, hence why a film crew is documenting his life. The apex alligator and apex orca are both show animals: Rosie the alligator was part of a stunt show and escaped captivity, and Mahana and two other orcas — who are Hunted specimens — were captured by Scaly Pete to be kept at Port Clovis' local amusement park. Famous or not, both these animals are a threat to you and must be killed in self-defense. | |

Monster Is a Mommy | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_dbbaed55 | comment |
Monster Is a Mommy: The prologue involves playing as the protagonist shark's mother, and watching as Pete pulls the pup out of the mother's carcass. The main shark is herself a female, but does not procreate at all. | |

Real Men Hate Affection | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_dc1b3fb6 | comment |
Real Men Hate Affection: Pete genuinely loves his son Kyle, admits the life of a fisherman isn't for everyone and does wish him the best in university, but he expresses it through tough love. When Kyle seemingly dies after their fight with the shark, Pete goes on the warpath and becomes devoted to killing the shark to avenge his son. To drive this home, Pete's last words to Kyle showed how he loved him more than his career as he told Kyle the ship was not worth saving. | |

Not Quite Dead | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_e431c24c | comment |
Not Quite Dead: While it was only implied in the base game, the DLC flat out confirms the Maneater's survival against the Final Battle against Scaly Pete, with the narrator flat out addressing this fact in his opening introduction to the expansion proper, just before the game shifts into the first cutscene of the expansion overall. | |

Expy: Pierre LeBlanc (a.k.a. "Scaly" Pete) is clearly one to Captain Ahab from Moby-Dick, mixed with Quint. He's also one to Kratos from God of War (PS4); both being muscular, bearded, tattooed men who share wrath as a flaw and both have trouble with being publicly affectionate towards their sons. After the first boss fight against him and his son, Pete loses his hair and nearly resembles Kratos in the final fight when he shaves off the rest of it off until he changes his beard to a long goatee. The Apex Sperm Whale boss is basically Moby Dick. Complete with albinism and harpoons embedded to show its experience with whalers. | |

Fighter, Mage, Thief | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_edae412c | comment |
Fighter, Mage, Thief: The three evolutionary paths of Bone/Bio-Electric/Shadow. Bone gives you the best damage reduction and health and is best at fighting boats with high ramming damage. Bio-Electric does the most damage and its dodge makes you invulnerable with lots of your abilities shocking and stunning enemies. Shadow is the fastest of the three and focuses on health drain with your bite and poisoning your enemies. | |

Technicolor Toxin | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_f06cb15 | comment |
Technicolor Toxin: The Mutagen that can be obtained from sunken chests or eating albino enemies is a virulent green. Sections of the sunken nuclear power plant also emit the eerie blue glow of Cherenkov radiation, which can damage the Shark if she swims into the plume of it erupting from the reactor's damaged core. | |

Never Found the Body | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_f516f938 | comment |
Never Found the Body: After their fight with the shark, Kyle tries to extinguish the flames but he, Pete and the shark are all caught in the explosion. The explosion appears to have killed Kyle since he didn't respond to Pete's cries and because his body was never found, fueling the idea that the shark devoured Kyle. However, the show humorously uses #WheresKyle to suggest Kyle might have survived the explosion as well with similar injuries. However, Pete blames the shark for his death and becomes determined to kill her. | |

Purposely Overpowered | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_f89f164a | comment |
Purposely Overpowered: The Atomic Set is best described as this, mainly because of the newly introduced enemies in the DLC being able to easily make mincemeat out of you otherwise, and the fact the Atomic Set also has significantly larger upgrade requirements compared to the other Sets, including a significantly larger amount of Mutagen than any of the three prior Sets combined. That's not even getting into the Atomic Breath active on the Atomic Body part which can allow you to easily destroy entire chunks of health bars on enemies if you time your shots right. | |

You Require More Vespene Gas | |
| Maneater (Video Game) / int_fd2086a9 | comment |
You Require More Vespene Gas: The various nutrients you get from devouring animals are Proteins, Fats, and Minerals. (Humans give you a smattering of all three, all the more reason to go maneating, and hammerheads give you even more). As an Anti-Frustration-Feature, most evolution sets only require one of these so they don't cut into each other's needs. Mutagen is the fourth, rarer material needed for the final tiers of your mutations. Bits of it can be found in nutrient crates or in mutated albino fish. | |
