Issues get somewhat unsettling on the open sea when the solar goes down in DREDGE. Not that the twisted, creepy fish you catch in the course of the day are very comforting.

You’re plying your fishing commerce in a small clutch of islands. Of us have to eat, right here, and you’ll deliver that meals to them. Nevertheless, the folks right here appear a bit…odd. Preoccupied with some eerie pastimes and actions that make them appear a bit off. Their cash continues to be good, although, and you should use these funds to maintain upgrading that rickety boat of yours.

Until you let your curiosity about these mutant fish get the higher of you, I suppose.

DREDGE is an intriguing fishing recreation that had me having fun with sorting my catch as a lot as truly getting it on the hook. On the similar time, the ever-increasing horror makes each journey on the boat somewhat extra horrifying whereas additionally drawing me in as I needed to grasp what was taking place. However curiosity by no means does you any good when these horrors begin to manifest, does it?
