Captain your fishing trawler to explore a collection of remote isles, and their surrounding depths, to see what lies below. Sell your catch to the locals and complete quests to learn more about each area’s troubled past. Outfit your boat with better equipment to trawl deep-sea trenches and navigate to far-off lands, but keep an eye on the time. You might not like what finds you in the dark...
Explore the Islands & Discover their Secrets
Starting from your new home in the remote archipelago, ‘The Marrows’, take to the water and scour the depths for curious collectables and over 125 deep sea denizens. Explore each area while completing quests and visiting neighbouring island regions – each with their own unique opportunities, inhabitants, and secrets.
Dredge the Depths
Someone wants you to dig up the past, but can you trust them and will it ever be enough?
Beware the Fog
Danger is everywhere, so watch for sharp rocks and shallow reefs, though the biggest threats of all lurk within the fog that cloaks the night-time seas...

Got it for free with Prime and played through the story in about 10 hours straight. Amazing little game and I will for sure get the DLC to get some extra out of it!
This is a nice and relaxing game if you're not looking to progress further into the story and mechanics of it, but if you want to go deep (pun intended) it gets pretty grindy and time consuming.
- A world inspired by HP Lovecraft. The game's atmosphere is unsettling, with its foggy seas, dark nights, and an underlying sense of dread. While the writing falls FAR short of Lovecraft, the experience is still worthwhile.
- The story is told in small snippets through characters you meet, and has an eerie feeling. Each encounter adds a new layer of mystery, and doesn't hold your hand as you piece together the larger narrative. If you're looking for environmental storytelling, this game has it.
- It's literally an RPG. The boat is your character. The fishing equipment is your armor and sword.
- Fish are your gold coins that you use for upgrading the boat.
- Most of the game is well-structured and nicely paced, with exploration rewarding you with secrets and upgrades.
- Some of the puzzles are terribly poorly explained. You will definitely be frustrated a few times by some very vague descriptions (you'll know it when you're there), and rather than wasting an hour trying different solutions, you shouldn't be afraid to just search it up online.
- The hunt for 100% completion with all fish variants is a bit too long and tedious. The base game has 151 fish variants (which are tracked in your encyclopedia). Prepare to waste at least 8 extra hours with repetitive grinding if you want to catch them all. Do I recommend it? No. Did I do it? Yes. While possibly rewarding for completionists, the sheer grind of finding rare fish severely strains the game's pacing.
- The endings are abrupt and leave many story threads unresolved, which might or might not satisfy everyone. While the journey is a decent experience, the conclusion falls short, with most of the impactful storytelling occurring much earlier in the experience.
- My review: 70%. Get DREDGE if you want a cozy, slightly spooky Lovecraftian game where you can relax and play your own little fishing boat RPG. It's a great game to just lean back with a gamepad and do some spooky fishing while listening to a podcast.
