Dredge is out now on iOS and Android, bringing eldritch fishing action to the palm of your hand

Rising from the ocean depths like a carved soapstone statue of Stygian horror comes Dredge from Black Salt Games! Finally available on iOS and Android, this blend of eldritch horror and fishing simulator delivers Lovecraftian terror alongside the satisfying gameplay of exploration and 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 reality is far more unsettling. Deranged locals, mutated sea creatures, creepy artifacts, and terrifying monsters make this fishing trip anything but relaxing—it'll certainly put Deadliest Catch to shame!

Fans of Sunless Sea will find Dredge a compelling 3D spiritual successor. Explore the island chains, upgrade your ship, and reel in increasingly larger and more dangerous catches. But beware the encroaching fog of night, for it brings with it beings that threaten not just your life, but your sanity.

The Allure of Dredging

Dredge's immediate popularity is understandable. The nautical horror genre offers a wealth of exciting and terrifying themes, while the simple act of sailing and fishing provides a relaxing counterpoint to the game's more stressful moments. The stylized, surreal graphics are captivating, and the potential for future DLC expands the game's already impressive content.
