Dredge, the captivating Lovecraftian fishing horror adventure, has now made its way to mobile devices, inviting you to embark on a chilling day out at sea where unknowable horrors lurk within the fog. In this eerie little adventure, you take on the role of a solitary fisherman exploring the mysterious waters surrounding a remote archipelago known as The Marrows.
A Sinister Fishing Adventure
At first glance, the life of a fisherman in Dredge appears simple: catch fish, sell them to the locals, upgrade your boat, and repeat. However, as you delve deeper, you'll notice something unsettling about the waters. The more you explore, the weirder and more sinister your discoveries become.
The game's premise is straightforward: fish to survive. But you're not just facing typical oceanic hazards like sharp rocks and treacherous reefs. The real threat in Dredge is the eerie fog that descends at night, concealing untold dangers.
As you dredge up lost relics and fulfill the dubious requests of the island's inhabitants, you'll start piecing together the unsettling history of this mysterious place. Get a glimpse of the horror in the video below!
Will You Dredge?
Exploration is a key component of Dredge, and each island in the archipelago holds different secrets and residents who may or may not be entirely sane. Keeping an eye on your gear is crucial; upgrading your boat is essential to avoid getting stranded in deeper waters. Special equipment will unlock access to even more mysterious and potentially rewarding areas.
Dredge boasts a low-poly yet highly atmospheric art style that lends the game a surreal quality. The game supports full controller use, including button remapping, and the touch controls are also quite effective. You can grab Dredge from the Google Play Store, where it's currently available at a special launch price of $10.99, down from its original $24.99.
