Rising from the depths like a haunting soapstone statue, Black Salt Games' Dredge has finally made its splash onto mobile platforms. Available now on both iOS and Android, this game blends the chilling essence of eldritch horror with the serene world of fishing simulators. Dive into a sea of Lovecraftian terror, thrilling exploration, and engaging fishing minigames that promise an unforgettable nautical horror experience.

In Dredge, you assume the role of a solitary amnesiac fisherman navigating the mysterious waters of Greater Marrow, a quaint island chain. Your primary task is to catch and sell fish to the local populace, but don't be fooled by the simplicity of this premise. Between encounters with deranged locals, mutated sea creatures, eerie artefacts, and daunting sea monsters, your fishing expeditions quickly escalate into a battle for survival that puts even Deadliest Catch to shame.

If you've ever ventured into the depths of games like Sunless Sea, Dredge serves as a fully 3D spiritual successor. As you explore the diverse island chains, you'll have the opportunity to upgrade your ship and tackle increasingly challenging catches, salvage operations, and more. But beware, as the fog rolls in at night, the eerie presence of beings that threaten your sanity becomes your least concern!

Dredge quickly became a fan favorite for its compelling mix of nautical horror and serene fishing. The game masterfully balances thrilling and terrifying themes with the soothing experience of navigating the waterways in your trusty fishing boat. Its graphics walk the fine line between stylized and surreal, creating an immersive world that captivates players. With a variety of DLCs that could potentially make their way to mobile in the future, there's a wealth of content to anticipate.
