The game starts slowly, with you working to pay off your loan for a new trawler after shipwrecking near Greater Marrow, meeting the residents of Greater and Little Marrow, and completing a few simple missions – known as Pursuits in the game.
The result is a fun and moreish indie title that kept me playing into the late hours of the night while telling myself that I only wanted to catch that fish or explore that island – white lies that inevitably led to another hour or two of gameplay that only stopped when my cat yelled for bedtime at 1 AM on a Tuesday night. What starts as a simple story of you helping to keep the town of Greater Marrow and its across-the-shore sister village Little Marrow fed transforms into a 10 to 15-hour madness-inducing adventure with Cthulhu-like monsters, lots of existential dread, twists, and secrets.ĭredge combines the simplicity of a fishing simulator with the cosmic horror inspired by the works of author H.P Lovecraft. Now, after acquiring the Platinum trophy (Something I don’t do very much) and rinsing it for gameplay completely, I can say that Dredge is the Lovecraftian fishing game I never knew I needed.įor anyone that doesn’t know, Dredge – developed by the four-person team of Black Salt Games and published by Team17 – is a single-player fishing game that follows an unnamed fisherman who takes on the role of Angler in the seaside town of Greater Marrow. I was first introduced to Dredge last year after watching a demo gameplay video by YouTuber Gab Smolders, and I instantly wanted to get my hands on the indie horror game.
