Small fins. Big trouble. Our free demo is live!
RadDad Basement Studio
The reef is open for your first dive
Our free Shark Tales: Reef Rogues demo is now available on Steam. Pick Bruce, Dr. Inky, Barnacle Bill or Nautilus Prime, then see how far your fins can carry you.
Ten waves. Two regions. Two boss battles. Play solo or bring up to four local players around one screen. Build an oddball arsenal, chase optional encounters and take your haul to the Pearl Machine.
See your next upgrade
The new picture-led workbench shows your weapon, its required item and the evolution ahead. Follow the upgrade steps, see what is missing and choose your next purchase. Ready early? Join the other ready divers in Bubble Chase while the last player finishes shopping.
Tell us what went gloriously wrong
Who did you choose? Which weapon surprised you? What ended your run? Share your build, screenshots and feedback in the community discussions. If something breaks, include the game version, what you were doing and whether you were using a controller.
Demo progression lasts for the session and does not transfer to the full game. The demo currently supports solo and local shared-screen co-op; online multiplayer and Workshop are not included.
Download the free demo and wishlist the full game
The full game is planned for October 2026, subject to the remaining release checks. Thank you for helping a small family project find its sea legs.
