Dredge Launches on iOS and Android: Experience Eldritch Fishing on Mobile

Rising from the ocean depths like a carved soapstone statue of Stygian, antediluvian horror, Black Salt Games' Dredge has finally made its splash on mobile platforms. Available now on iOS and Android, this game blends the eerie atmosphere of Lovecraftian horror with the engaging gameplay of a fishing simulator, creating a nautical horror experience that's truly captivating.

In Dredge, you step into the boots of a lone amnesiac fisherman navigating the waters of Greater Marrow, a small island chain. Your primary task is to catch and sell fish to the local populace. However, the game is anything but simple. Between the deranged locals, mutated fish, creepy artifacts, and terrifying sea monsters, Dredge transforms the act of fishing into a spine-chilling adventure that puts shows like Deadliest Catch to shame.

Fans of games like Sunless Sea will find Dredge to be a fully 3D spiritual successor. As you explore the various island chains, you'll upgrade your ship and tackle increasingly dangerous catches, salvaging goods along the way. But beware: when the fog rolls in at night, the strange beings that scratch at the edges of sanity are the least of your worries!

Dredging Dredge quickly became a fan favorite due to its compelling mix of nautical horror and serene fishing gameplay. The genre encapsulates a wide range of exciting and terrifying themes, while simply navigating your plucky fishing boat can be as relaxing as the game's more stressful moments are intense. Visually, Dredge balances between stylized and surreal aesthetics, and with the potential for future DLC, there's a wealth of content to anticipate.

If you're still on the fence, perhaps Stephen's glowing review of Dredge will convince you. He awarded it a certified gold rating, praising its immersive atmosphere, smooth performance, and the seamless way Black Salt Games has adapted its myriad mechanics and user interface for mobile devices.
