Emerging from the ocean depths like a carved soapstone nightmare, Black Salt Games' Dredge has finally arrived on iOS and Android! Following a brief delay, this captivating blend of Lovecraftian horror and fishing simulator is now available. Prepare for a nautical adventure brimming with eldritch terror, exploration, and plenty of engaging fishing minigames.

In Dredge, you play as an amnesiac fisherman navigating the treacherous waters of Greater Marrow, a remote island chain. Your initial task seems simple: catch fish and sell them. However, the idyllic façade quickly unravels as you encounter deranged locals, mutated sea creatures, unsettling artifacts, and terrifying monsters—making the *Deadliest Catch* look like a leisurely picnic.

Fans of titles like *Sunless Sea* will find Dredge a compelling 3D spiritual successor. Explore the island chains, upgrade your vessel, and haul in increasingly larger and more dangerous catches, salvage, and more. But beware, as night falls and the fog rolls in, the sanity-shredding horrors lurking just beneath the surface become a very real threat.

The Allure of Dredging

Dredge's instant popularity is well-deserved. The game masterfully blends the thrilling and terrifying themes of nautical horror. The simple act of cruising the waterways in your fishing boat offers a relaxing counterpoint to the game's often stressful encounters. Its stylized, surreal visuals are captivating, and with potential future DLC, there's plenty of content on the horizon.

Still unconvinced? Stephen's glowing review, awarding Dredge a certified gold rating, highlights its immersive atmosphere, smooth performance, and the seamless translation of mechanics and UI to the mobile platform.
