A peaceful fishing trip. Until the sun goes down.
Dredge mixes boat upgrades and fishing with something unsettling beneath the surface.
· 1 min read

Dredge is a single-player fishing adventure from Black Salt Games, published by Team17. Released on March 30, 2023, it sends you through a mysterious archipelago to catch fish, sell your haul, and improve your boat.
The official pitch makes its darker side clear: there are long-buried secrets in these waters. Fishing and exploration sit alongside an unsettling mystery, rather than a straightforward holiday on the coast.
Our take: consider it if you like the idea of a practical routine that gradually becomes more ominous. The contrast between looking after a boat and wondering what lies beneath it is the reason this premise stands out.
This is the discovery pick for an evening when you want something atmospheric and a little strange. There is a practical job to do on the boat, and a mystery waiting beyond it.
