Rising from the ocean depths like a carved soapstone statue of Stygian horror comes Dredge from Black Salt Games! Now available on iOS and Android, this blend of eldritch horror and fishing simulator delivers Lovecraftian terror with the engaging exploration and fishing minigames you’d expect. Prepare for a nautical horror experience unlike any other.
In Dredge, you play a lone amnesiac fisherman in the Greater Marrow archipelago. Your initial task seems simple: catch fish and sell them. But the reality is far more unsettling. Deranged locals, mutated sea creatures, creepy artifacts, and terrifying monsters await—making the *Deadliest Catch* look like a walk in the park.
Fans of *Sunless Sea* will find Dredge a compelling 3D spiritual successor. Explore the island chains, upgrade your ship, and reel in increasingly larger and more dangerous catches. But beware—when the night fog rolls in, sanity-shredding horrors lurk just beyond the horizon.
The Allure of Dredging
Dredge quickly captivated players for its unique blend of elements. The nautical horror setting offers a wealth of exciting and terrifying themes, while the simple act of sailing and fishing provides a relaxing counterpoint to the game's intense moments. The stylized, surreal graphics further enhance the experience, and the potential for future DLC adds to the game's long-term appeal.
