This fishing game is wonderfully therapeutic—until you find a Lovecraftian abomination in your net




I've barely stopped thinking about Dredge since I played an hour of it at Gamescom last year. The Lovecraftian fishing RPG has been one of my most anticipated games in a hot sec, and I've been desperate to hop back in and uncover the secrets that 60 minutes of play in a stuffy German business hall can't unveil. But like sharks, sinister thoughts have been circling the back of my mind—you know how they say to never meet your idols? What if my reunion with Dredge revealed that the game couldn't maintain its joy of discovery beyond its early hours?..

In DREDGE, you step into the boots of a down-on-their-luck fisherman and explore a collection of remote islands while scouring the surrounding depths for a variety of fish and valuable, deep-sea curios. Once your trawler is full, sell your spoils while completing quests and unravelling more about each area’s peculiar denizens. Reinforce your vessel, skills, and knowledge to dredge deeper and reach more secluded lands, but keep a close eye on the time. You might not like what finds you in the dark…

Dredge is a sinister, otherworldly fishing sim coming in March


Fishing mini-games make just about any game better. There’s something meditative about being close to the water, waiting in silence for a catch, and mashing buttons to reel them in - plus I don’t need to deal with the horrendous smell from behind the safety of my desk. The indie game Dredge subverts what I like about fishing games, with an eerie eldritch horror waiting beneath the ocean’s surface. We won’t need to wait long before we see what's under there as Dredge releases on March 30th.
