Product Description

Dredge for PlayStation 5 casts you as the captain of a small fishing boat on a mysterious archipelago where the ocean holds more than just fish. By day you ply tranquil waters, hauling nets, upgrading your vessel, and trading your catch in sleepy harbors. By night the seas change — strange creatures, unsettling secrets, and creeping supernatural dangers force you to balance profit with survival. Part relaxing fishing sim, part psychological maritime thriller, Dredge blends calm coastal routine with tense, Lovecraft-tinged moments as you uncover a bigger, darker story beneath the waves.

Key Features

• Atmospheric Fishing & Exploration — Cruise an archipelago of islands and inlets at your own pace: fish, dive for salvage, inspect shipwrecks, and discover hidden coves.

• Day / Night Risk-Reward — Daylight brings safer, reliable catches; darkness hides rare and valuable prey — and older, stranger things that may stalk your boat.

• Upgradeable Boat & Gear — Improve engines, nets, sonar, storage and lamps to reach farther, haul more, and survive harsher conditions. Strategic upgrades change how you approach each voyage.

• Narrative & Worldbuilding — Meet quirky islanders, take on contracts and side quests, and slowly piece together a haunting story about the archipelago’s past and the odd forces at work.

• Tension & Mystery — Quiet, creeping dread replaces jump-scare cheapness: environmental storytelling, unsettling encounters, and escalating threats create sustained suspense.

• Resource & Reputation Management — Balance fuel, supplies, and cargo space while managing relationships with port towns whose demands shape your routes and rewards.

• Replayable Voyages — Randomized events, optional contracts, and emergent encounters keep each trip unpredictable and rewarding.

Set sail, mend your nets, and keep your wits about you—the ocean remembers, and some things should stay sleeping beneath the surface.
