Experience and Story Overview

Welcome to the atmospheric world of Dredge, where two contrasting realms await your exploration. By day, bask in the serene beauty of vibrant landscapes, where dolphins and whales grace the vibrant waters. But as the sun sets, be prepared for the claustrophobic and lonely nights, where eldritch horrors lurk in the shadows, eager to ensnare you forever.

In DREDGE, every day is an opportunity for adventure and discovery. Equip new gear, unlock unique abilities, encounter mysterious fish, explore uncharted islands, and embark on quests that unveil the hidden truths of this strange world. Your character’s state of mind influences what you see and how the world shapes you, making for some unique experiences.
