Dredge Launches on iOS and Android: Experience Eldritch Fishing on Mobile

Rising from the ocean depths like a carved soapstone statue of Stygian, antediluvian horror, Black Salt Games' Dredge has finally made its splash onto mobile platforms for iOS and Android. This intriguing mix of eldritch horror and fishing simulator, which experienced a brief delay, is now ready for you to dive into. With the chilling atmosphere of Lovecraft's works, the thrill of exploration, and engaging fishing minigames, Dredge is a nautical horror experience you won't want to miss.

In Dredge, you step into the boots of a lone amnesiac fisherman navigating the waters of Greater Marrow, a small island chain. Your primary task? To catch fish and sell them to the local fishermen. Sounds straightforward, doesn't it? But with deranged locals, mutated fish, eerie artefacts, and terrifying sea monsters lurking around, this game puts even the most gripping episodes of Deadliest Catch to shame.

If you've ever ventured into the depths of games like Sunless Sea, you'll find Dredge to be its fully 3D spiritual successor. As you explore the various island chains, you'll upgrade your ship, haul in increasingly larger and more dangerous catches, and gather salvage. But beware: when the fog rolls in at night, the strange beings that scratch at the edge of sanity are just the beginning of your troubles!

Dredging Dredge quickly became a fan favorite, and for good reason. The realm of nautical horror is rich with thrilling and terrifying themes, while the simple act of chugging along the waterways in your plucky fishing boat offers a surprising sense of relaxation amidst the game's tension. Graphically, Dredge strikes a balance between stylized and surreal. With plenty of potential for future DLC, there's a wealth of content to look forward to.
