Description
Captain your fishing trawler to explore a collection of remote isles, and their surrounding depths, to see what lies below. Sell your catch to the locals and complete quests to learn more about each area’s troubled past. Outfit your boat with better equipment to trawl deep-sea trenches and navigate to far-off lands, but keep an eye on the time. You might not like what finds you in the dark...
Starting from your new home in the remote archipelago, ‘The Marrows’, take to the water and scour the depths for curious collectables and over 125 deep sea denizens. Explore each area while completing quests and visiting neighbouring island regions – each with their own unique opportunities, inhabitants, and secrets.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like Dredge, but once I started it was hard to put down. There's something strangely compelling about the game's simplicity. The basic mechanics are easy to learn. The actual fishing is straightforward, and yet the game offers more challenge than it initially appears.
It's surprisingly easy to get into trouble or end up sinking your boat, thanks to the various hazards. The sea monsters are a big part of it, but even just crashing into rocks can be a problem. They do a really good job adding to the tension of driving at night. Rocks can be almost impossible to see without lights, and you're never completely sure what you're going to run into.
The map may be small, but it never feels too small. There are five main areas to explore, each of which offers a very different environment that feels unique, as well as different types of fish. Traveling between regions to get the right catch is often needed for quests. There is DLC that can add a little more, but the base game never feels like anything's missing.

I dove into Dredge expecting a chill fishing game, but wow, the eerie undertones had me hooked. It’s like fishing meets Lovecraft, and I couldn’t stop exploring the creepy depths. Who knew catching fish could feel so ominous? I loved every unsettling second.

A relaxing yet eerie experience that blends exploration and fishing well. While it’s an enjoyable ride, the gameplay can get a bit repetitive. The sense of mystery in the world kept me going, though.

Dredge on the surface place like an addicting fishing and inventory management game, but offers an intense twist of eldritch horror with deceptive characters and a spooky mystery to solve.

A very charming indie game which proves sometimes less is more. The contrast from day to night adds a lot of intensity, while the mysterious story lures you in like one of the deep sea dwellers you are trying to catch.
