DREDGE

DREDGE is the Horror and Adventure Game in which you will catch Sea Monsters… It hides a lot of mysteries!

Dredge is an indie game that has caused admiration since its recent release. Behind a simple and even relaxing mechanics you will find one of the darkest horror games. In this article we will reveal more about its plot and how you can download and play it for free (alpha version) Let's get started!

 

Your mission in the game is simple, you are an experienced sailor who has been shipwrecked in a remote archipelago with countless islands. With the boat lost and hopeless, the mayor of one of the islands makes it easy for you to rent a new boat.

The ship turns out to be a very rudimentary and poorly equipped small trawler, but it is your only hope to start over, fish as much as you can and sell it to the locals.

It seems simple right? well, it won't be, because on every trip to the sea you will realize that you are in a different world, full of mysteries, where besides fishing you will find messages in bottles and other clues that will make you know the story behind that strange world.

The atmosphere is very immersive, with a plot that hooks from the first minutes of the game. Without going into details, do not forget to read any hidden messages, analyze the words of the islanders you meet well.

A tip: avoid at all costs that it gets dark or foggy, because that's where the dangers of the depths will multiply and endanger your mission… and your life!

At night, from fishing for "normal" fish you could pass by to encounter authentic sea monsters, capable of devouring you in one bite, with the boat included. You can catch up to 125 different species, from shallow water fish or mangroves to real beasts of the deep.

In short, Dredge is a marvel among independent games (maybe one of the indie games of the year), both in the graphic section and in the soundtrack, with a duration that is not long but not short either. Also, if you like the universe of H.P. Lovecraft this game will not disappoint you… to the sea sailor!
