Emerging from the ocean depths like a carved soapstone nightmare, Black Salt Games' Dredge has finally arrived on iOS and Android! Following a brief delay, this captivating blend of Lovecraftian horror and fishing simulator offers a unique experience. Prepare for a nautical adventure brimming with terror, exploration, and plenty of engaging fishing minigames.
In Dredge, you play as an amnesiac fisherman navigating the treacherous waters of Greater Marrow, a remote island chain. Your initial task seems simple: catch fish and sell them. However, the idyllic façade quickly unravels as you encounter deranged locals, mutated sea creatures, unsettling artifacts, and terrifying monsters—making the Deadliest Catch seem like a walk in the park.
Fans of titles like Sunless Sea will find Dredge a compelling 3D spiritual successor. Explore the archipelago, upgrade your vessel, and reel in increasingly larger and more dangerous catches, alongside valuable salvage. But beware, as night falls and the fog rolls in, sanity-threatening beings lurk just beyond the veil.
Dredging Up Success
Dredge's immediate popularity is no surprise. The game masterfully blends the thrilling themes of nautical horror with the relaxing act of sailing and fishing. Its stylized, surreal visuals are captivating, and the potential for future DLC expansions promises even more content to explore.
