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 captivating blend of Lovecraftian horror and fishing simulation offers a unique experience, combining terrifying encounters with the relaxing gameplay of exploration and fishing minigames.
You play as an amnesiac fisherman in the isolated Greater Marrow archipelago. Your task seems simple: catch fish and sell them. However, deranged locals, mutated creatures, unsettling artifacts, and terrifying sea monsters quickly elevate the stakes beyond a simple "Deadliest Catch" scenario.
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 – as night falls and the fog rolls in, sanity-threatening horrors lurk just beyond the horizon.
The Allure of Dredging
Dredge's instant popularity is understandable. The nautical horror genre offers a wealth of thrilling and terrifying themes, while the simple act of traversing the waterways in your fishing boat provides a calming counterpoint to the game's intense moments. The stylized, surreal visuals enhance the experience, and the potential for future DLC promises even more content to explore.
