Dredge

A mysterious fog-covered town, a tropical paradise covering up something deadline in the great below, and vast ocean canyons that sailors rarely make it out from. Every section of Dredge's sizable archipelago is full of secrets that could easily sink your fishing ship as soon as you slow down to investigate.Except your ship never stays at the bottom of the salt for long. As soon as you die in Black Salt Games' Dredge--a Lovecraftian horror adventure about a fisherman finding work in a mysterious…

2023 was an incredible year for games, with each month grabbing our attention with a defining entry — be it sequels, remakes, or highly-anticipated blockbusters. Since the Holiday season is here, we asked the folks at Gadgets 360 what their highlights were, only to be met with some truly compelling takes. One of them is an award hoarder pushing the role-playing medium forward and alarming the larger AAA gaming industry, while the other is an indie game about fishing, whose deep waters hide some Lovecraftian…

Dave The Diver & Dredge are receiving a new free DLC, as announced at The Game Awards 2023. The DLC is scheduled to launch on December 15 on PC and Nintendo Switch. It will be available to anybody who already owns Dave The Diver, and both Dredge and Dave The Diver will be available at a discounted price when the DLC is released. The update includes a brand new night map, a new weather effect in the form of fog, and a new weapon for you to use while diving in the form of the Drain Gun. “Creating this crossover DLC…

Digital Trends You could have spent the entirety of 2023 keeping up with new games and you still wouldn’t have played a fraction of the excellent games released this year. That’s especially true for the independent scene, which produced some fantastic works of art in-between gargantuan releases like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I can’t blame anyone for missing a few — I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface myself — but you shouldn’t leave 2023 without a handful of indies in your backlog. Some of…

If 2023 were to end today, it would still be remembered as a historic year for video games. That’s how good it’s been. After a few mixed years filled with COVID-induced delays, the first half of 2023 has given players a non-stop avalanche of hits, keeping their backlogs eternally filled. We’ve gotten major entries in beloved franchises like Zelda and Final Fantasy, seen some bar-raising remakes for some of gaming’s best horror games, and been treated to some truly original projects from both indie developers and…

Black Salt Games has confirmed that four updates for its fishing horror game Dredge are planned to release this year, including a photo mode and paid downloadable content (DLC) with a new story. The roadmap for Dredge was revealed yesterday (May 1), with Black Salt Games producer Nadia Thorne writing through PlayStation.Blog to detail the upcoming changes. The first update, set to arrive this month, will add map markers for players to mark points of interest on their map; along with unspecified balance tweaks and fixes…

More slack in the line Team17 has revealed the roadmap to Black Salt Games’ indie darling, Dredge, that continues through to the end of the year. While many additions could be considered “small,” it will conclude with paid DLC at the end of the year. First up, we’ve got map markers. I didn’t even realize they weren’t already in the game. I guess I just didn’t need them so hard that I never looked to see if they were there. Next up is a feature I always appreciate: a photo mode. It’s always nice being able to set up the…

It’s a little hard to believe, but we’re finally on the road to Hyrule. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is set to launch on May 12, paying off what felt like a grueling wait following 2017’s genre-defining Breath of the Wild. In just one month, we’ll be exploring the Sky Islands and crafting some truly ridiculous weapons. The final month before a game’s launch can be the hardest stretch of a long hype cycle, though. That’s especially true if you’re trying to fill it by playing something that’ll get you in…

It’s not October, but we just had a very good month for horror games. From the indie scene to AAA and from VR to a traditional gaming experience, fans of scary games had a lot to enjoy in March 2023. Of course, there was the highly anticipated remake of Resident Evil 4, one of the best horror games of all time, and it didn’t disappoint. Keeping up the scares were experimental horror games like Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo and Dredge, while The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR affirmed why virtual…

Gone fishin’ Anecdotally, one of the most common complaints I hear about The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker is that there was too much time spent sailing. That’s completely valid. I get it, not everyone is fine with looking at the ass end of a boat for large slabs of time, but for me, that was one of my favorite parts. Dredge marries the ass end of a boat with horror. I love horror. I moved onto it after I explored so many depressing games that I eventually reached the other end of them and realized it was a cliff. So,…
