Dredge

A fishing game with a Lovecraft problem: you sail a small boat, sell the catch and try not to be out after dark, when the sea produces things that should not be sold. Released in March 2023 by four people in New Zealand and the year's clearest example of a small game that sold on tone alone. The record notes that the fish were the horror and the horror was the fish.

I remember catching a cod with too many eyes and selling it to a man who did not look at it. That was the moment the game told me what it was.

Definition @dupe_detective · Digger 27 Sep 2023

The record notes that the design combined Tetris-style cargo packing with the dread of a rising panic meter, and that streamers found the second more interesting than the first.

A Steam review in April 2023 that read 'relaxing fishing game, do not go out at night', with 'do not' in capitals, from someone who had clearly gone out at night.
