With the horrors of the deep blue and the short time frame, days may go by rather quickly. In fact, there are two tech trees to advance through with an additional shop to buy the additions to your trawler. Either through the adventure side quests by dredging something from the many shipwrecks or by capturing specific fish, you gain gear for your RPG-style upgrades. Keep in mind that these are the central cores of DREDGE : fishing and adventure. The downside of the panic mechanic is that the time scale in a day is so short you can get through an entire day in about 5 minutes of fishing or traveling. Do I want to find out what that something is? Does the pope defecate in the woods? Do you want to put your hand around the U-bend in your bog? No, exactly. In deep waters that panic will manifest itself in the form of a similar boat to yours following something in the water with a bit of chromatic aberration. Particularly at night and in the dark, you’ll slowly build up a sense of paranoia as displayed by a shifty eyeball in front of your clock. One of the central mechanics is based on panic and what that will do to you in the wrong place at the wrong time. DREDGE isn’t horror but it does intentionally try to play with you psychologically. The truth is you don’t see me jumping head-first into many horror games because I am what we delicately call a big girl’s blouse, and I run away screaming to the nearest safe place the first opportunity I get. The old wives’ tales are true and Captain Cutler is dead, so no one wants to go out on the big blue wet thing. I prefer games for my fishing since it lacks the smell, having to touch them, the experience of adding your breakfast to the port-side bow, and having to go back to land to finally breathe for the first time in hours.ĭREDGE is a fishing adventure title with a twist to the fable we covered last time in Moonglow Bay, as this time the weird fish are angry. The few times I looked up from the side of that boat (or the back of my eyelids) the views were nice, and that’s the best thing I can say about my experience. The one time I tried sea fishing (under invitation), I added more to the ocean than I caught.
