The game’s graphics consist of the low-poly models often associated with games made in the Unity engine, which also rings true for this game. Featuring a story told bit by bit, which meshes well with the overall atmosphere, Dredge succeeds at creating a successful hook ( pun intended) alongside its gameplay.

Throughout the game, players will have to uncover the story of the mysterious town while interacting with interesting and unique characters which have more to them than what you’d initially expect. Alongside these, messages in a bottle from a mysterious newlywed start appearing, recounting her story with the town and her disappeared late husband. Although the job starts normally enough, strange events soon occur, especially so at night, such as the appearance of ghost ships, sea monsters, and strange fish. In Dredge, players take over the role of a fisherman who just arrived in the town of Greater Marrow in order to take over as the local angler. Dredge is a recent release that combines the recently popularized fishing with a staple of videogames: eldritch horrors and Lovecraftian inspiration. Stuff like technical fishing sims are already a thing, but they only really cover a niche portion of the market. Although it is often regarded as a side pastime, the next logical progression would be to give it more of a focus to create a proper game based on it. Fishing in games has become surprisingly popular lately, being featured in almost every title as a minigame.
