The supernatural seas of Dredge are full of fish to catch, shipwrecks to plunder, and terrifying monsters to avoid. As a fisherman adrift in an unfamiliar archipelago, reel in exotic goodies while navigating fog-shrouded islands. Just be sure to return to port by sundown or you may find yourself pursued by giant phantom sharks...or worse.

What we love: The spine-tingling story. Each quest you complete peels back another layer of the spooky tale. Who is the Collector, and why does he send you in search of sunken artifacts? What’s the source of the eldritch horrors plaguing the islands? Keep fishing for secrets and eventually you’ll hook the truth!

Quick tip: Upgrade your engines before adding extra cargo space or more lights. Once you can outrun the creatures of the deep, you won’t have to worry about them taking a bite out of your hull.

Meet the creator: A two-word idea—“Lovecraftian fishing”—was all it took to inspire New Zealand’s Black Salt Games to make Dredge. The game was developed by a team of just four people—and they all admit they’ve spent more time fishing in videogames than in real life.
