Dredge lives from making its players curious – you want(don’t want to see the next strange tale that awaits you in this pleasantly creepy game that never veers into outright horror. Over the course of the game, you have to decide whether your decreasing debt is worth your decreasing sanity. However, there is a catch (hah) – reeling in the otherworldly or witnessing stressful events impacts your sanity, and with decreasing sanity, dangerous things start to happen. Time only passes if you move or fish, and soon you will find out that higher prizes await you for travellig the dark waters at night. Where Dredge comes into its own however, are the quiet, creeping Lovecraftian elements that come with fishing at night.
Sometimes, Dredge is just a normal fishing game, our Dredge review points out, a gentle experience centred around a fun fishing mini-game that manages to set itself ever so slightly that even fishing mini-game aficionados will enjoy it.
