DREDGE

good gma ı love this game awesome

I enjoy the game, feels kind of calming to play even with the "horror" elements

Best part is when John Dredger kicks open the lighthouse door and yells "It's Dredgin' time!" then fires dual aberrant octopii at everyone. This game is kinda like a flipside to Sail Forth- simple, colorful style, adventures at open sea, relaxing mechanics, cataloging itch scratching, but then nighttime comes and you start seeing freaky Lovecraftian horrors. The gameplay is simple yet thorough, satisfying but with challenges to each region. You've got fishing, cataloging the fish, dredging parts and trinkets, boat upgrading, even minor cosmetics. I like that the horrors of nighttime also have rewards, like fish only available at night, and more chance of freaky abberant fish. Time not passing unless you're moving is pretty brilliant- just stop to get your bearings, spyglass around, read up on fish. The story is where it gets Lovecraftian- mysterious people and locations, a questionable past, wierdo cult dudes with culty quests... The map could probably be a bit more useful in terms of labelling. And the custom labels should probably have an option to be viewable without using your spyglass.(although that's probably a gameplay decision) Doesn't seem to take much to mess up your boat either. It would be really interesting to see what this game would be with a AAA budget, but it would probably get Ubisoft'd.

Really liked the game. Hadn't any fun at this level of games since ori.

Really like this game! Although its a fishing game at heart, there is a little darkness to it as well. reminds me somewhat of SubNautica, in that if you get to adverturous too early, it frightens the life out of you and you be more cautious afterwards! But really enjoyable game!
