It's almost a little too easy to become comfortable with Dredge. I've been sailing all night long in my wee fishing boat, Tetrissing all manner of fish inside my inventory Resident Evil-style. I'm so engrossed I've failed to notice the rocks that are desperate for me to crash and the mysterious critters that are slithering their way into my meticulously organised vessel...

There's something inherently spooky about fishing. You're often alone on a boat, sometimes far out at sea. You're casting a line into deep, murky waters and feeling an unknown, unseen creature suddenly sink its teeth into your bait and begin to pull. You're a hunter with nothing but a string on a stick in an environment almost entirely hidden from view, one you can't survive in for long should anything go wrong. It's the perfect canvas for creeping dread and big scares...

Team17 and New Zealand-based developer Black Salt Games have today announced a publishing partnership to bring DREDGE, an upcoming single-player fishing adventure with a sinister undercurrent, to Steam and consoles in 2023.

In DREDGE, players will step into the boots of a down-on-their luck fisherman and explore a collection of remote isles while scouring the surrounding depths for a variety of fish and valuable deep-sea curios. Once their trawler is full, they can sell their haul to the peculiar locals while completing quests and unravelling more about each archipelago. They can also reinforce their vessel, skills, and knowledge to dredge deeper and reach more secluded lands.



Beginning in their new home in the remote islands of ‘The Marrows’, players will be able to investigate each area while completing tasks for the yesteryear locals and taking trips to neighbouring regions - each with their own unique fish to find, inhabitants to meet, and secrets to uncover.

We finish the year off with filling out Gale Cliffs building models and adding in full support for control remapping on PC!

We're now weighing up whether to support control remapping on consoles, what do you all think? One mapping to rule them all, or give players the freedom to choose (and potentially really mess up their play experience)?
