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

Rising from the ocean depths like a carved soapstone statue of Stygian, antediluvian horror, Black Salt Games' Dredge has finally made its much-anticipated debut on mobile platforms, available now on both iOS and Android. This enthralling mix of eldritch horror and fishing simulator delivers all the terror of Lovecraft, combined with the joy of exploration and a variety of engaging fishing minigames, making it a standout nautical horror experience.

In Dredge, you step into the shoes of a lone amnesiac fisherman navigating the waters of Greater Marrow, a mysterious island chain. Your primary task? To catch and sell fish to the local populace. Sounds straightforward, doesn't it? However, the game's sinister atmosphere is intensified by deranged locals, mutated fish, eerie artefacts, and terrifying sea monsters, turning your fishing expeditions into a harrowing journey that easily outshines shows like Deadliest Catch.

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 have the opportunity to upgrade your ship, enabling you to reel in larger and more dangerous catches, along with salvaging valuable items. But beware, as the fog rolls in at night, the threats escalate, and the beings that lurk in the shadows can push you to the brink of insanity.

Dredge quickly became a fan favorite, captivating players with its unique blend of nautical horror themes. The serene act of navigating waterways in your fishing boat offers a calming counterbalance to the game's more intense moments. Visually, Dredge strikes a balance between stylization and surrealism, and with the promise of future DLC, there's a wealth of content to anticipate.
