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...

I'm 10 hours in and the core gameplay loop still feels fresh and not grind-y or repetitive. The graphics look good and help create the mysterious, spooky atmosphere that fits with the story. There is a good amount of side quests that reward exploration. Overall, the game feels polished and is a great experience
Don't let the cosmic horror tag scare you away - Dredge is surprisingly relaxing. As someone who plays this before bed, I can say the horror elements are subtle and atmospheric rather than startling. The core gameplay loop of fishing, selling your catch, and upgrading your boat is satisfying and zen-like.
The game runs beautifully on both PC and Steam Deck, making it perfect for both desk and couch sessions. The fog-shrouded seas and mysterious islands create an engaging atmosphere that keeps you wanting to explore just a bit more, while the straightforward fishing mechanics make it easy to pick up and play.
While hardcore horror fans might find it too tame, and fishing enthusiasts might want more depth, Dredge excels at creating a unique experience that's both engaging and calming. If you're looking for something different that won't keep you up at night, this is it.
Relaxing fishing gameplay

This is a fun little game, the best kind of "relaxing stuff after a long day".
Collect fishes, upgrade your ship, explore islands, reveal the story - not very challenging, not cutting edge, not an epic history, but very solid in every department from the graphic design to the simple, but enjoyable gameplay.
To me it delivered more than many overpadded AAA titles.
The gameplay starting off is good but the longer you stick with it the more tedious/boring the gameplay becomes.
I regret this purchase. I don't think the game had enough content to justify the price $24.99.
The fishing, the trading, the questing, the research, and basically every other mechanic in the game becomes tedious/repetive and a chore to do.
The monsters in this game are unkillable. Being able to fight them would have made the game more interesting and bearable.
