For all you fishing aficionados eagerly awaiting a unique gaming experience, the wait is finally over. The highly anticipated eldritch fishing simulator, Dredge, is set to make its mobile debut on February 27th after several delays. This game promises to immerse you in the eerie depths of the sea, challenging not just your fishing skills but also your sanity.
In Dredge, you step into the boots of a nameless fisherman navigating the waters around a desolate archipelago. Your primary task is straightforward: catch fish and sell them to the islanders. However, the game deepens as you manage and upgrade your boat, explore the mysterious archipelago, and uncover its secrets. But beware, as the fog at night may reveal more than you bargained for.
Originally slated for a later release, Dredge's mobile version was pushed back to February 2025. Now, with the new date almost upon us, the iOS App Store listing has been updated accordingly, though the Android Google Play listing is yet to go live.
Oh I do love to be beside the seasideBeyond the casual joy of fishing, Dredge offers an intricate upgrade system and a rich tapestry of Lovecraftian horror. While details on future DLC are still under wraps, the main game already boasts several expansions that expand the archipelago's mysteries.
With its engaging low-poly aesthetic, Dredge is poised to become a beloved title among mobile gamers. As the final release date approaches, anticipation builds for this unique blend of fishing and horror.
