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 terror and fishing simulator offers a unique nautical horror experience.
In Dredge, you play as an amnesiac fisherman exploring the isolated Greater Marrow 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 child's play.
Fans of Sunless Sea will find Dredge a compelling 3D spiritual successor. Explore the archipelago, upgrade your ship, and haul 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 game masterfully blends thrilling nautical horror themes with surprisingly relaxing moments spent traversing the waterways in your fishing boat. Its stylized, surreal visuals are captivating, and the potential for future DLC expansions promises even more content.
