Dredge, the critically acclaimed nautical horror adventure from Black Salt Games, has officially launched on mobile for both iOS and Android devices. After a brief delay, fans can now dive into this atmospheric fishing simulator meets eldritch nightmare, where every catch could be your last—and every sunset might bring something far worse than the deep.
In Dredge, you play as an amnesiac fisherman who arrives in the remote island chain of Greater Marrow with little memory but a working boat and a pressing need to earn a living. Your daily routine? Fish during the day, sell your haul to locals, and upgrade your vessel. Sounds peaceful—until night falls.
By daylight, the waters are serene and the minigame-driven fishing mechanics offer a calming rhythm. But once darkness rolls in, the fog thickens, the sea shifts, and sanity begins to fray. Mutated fish, cryptic artifacts, and otherworldly entities emerge from the depths, challenging not only your survival skills but your grip on reality itself. Think *Deadliest Catch* meets H.P. Lovecraft—with a dash of Sunless Sea’s eerie exploration.
Why Dredge Stands Out on Mobile
Dredge isn’t just a port—it’s a polished, fully 3D experience optimized for touch. The game masterfully balances tension and tranquility, letting you cruise between islands at your own pace while slowly unraveling a creeping sense of dread. Its stylized visuals blur the line between beauty and unease, making each new discovery feel equally rewarding and unsettling.
What Players Are Saying
From the moment it launched on console and PC, Dredge earned a devoted following for its unique blend of relaxing gameplay and psychological horror. Now on mobile, it retains all the tension, atmosphere, and mechanical depth that made it a standout title. Reviewers have praised its smooth performance, intuitive UI adaptations, and how well the core experience translates to handheld play—earning it a certified gold rating from critics like Stephen, who called it “a masterclass in mood and mobile design.”
Whether you're here for the fishing, the fear, or the finely crafted world of Greater Marrow, Dredge delivers a one-of-a-kind journey beneath the waves—and straight into the abyss. Just remember: stay out after dark, and you might not come back the same.
