    Uncover what lies in the depths of the sea with DREDGE, a horror fishing game where you are quite probably both the fisherman and the bait. Use your skills to gather up the sea’s bounty, but also the secrets that hide within this beautiful, if dangerous, locale. 

    You are a fisherman who is lost at sea, winding up at a fishing village located among a few remote islands called “The Marrows.” The inhabitants are strange and secretive. The mayor allows you to stay, on the condition that you catch food for the village folk. Before long you get a loan to purchase a small boat and soon you are trawling the waves for something to catch. 

    At first, it is easy. You can find up to 125 different sea creatures to sell for cash. Find a way to arrange them all in your ship’s cargo via a mini-game. Everything is fine and dandy during the daytime, but when the night falls and the fog rolls in, that’s when the monsters come out. 

    Discover the secrets hidden in the deep. Look for hidden treasures, complete quests, capture mutated fish, and dig deeper into the lore of the islands. Upgrade your trawler to better survive the monstrous denizens of the sea, of which there'll be plenty. Be prepared for the horror that waits in the depths of DREDGE.

    FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

    How does the 'Panic' mechanic directly affect the player's ability to navigate and interact with the world during nighttime explorations?
    Panic introduces visual and auditory distortions, potentially impairing navigation and reaction times, making it harder to spot hazards or manage your vessel effectively under the cover of darkness.
    Explain the relationship between the 'Aberration' mechanic and the types of fish the player can catch; does it influence only the appearance or also the stats and uses of the catch?
    Aberration affects both the appearance and the utility of the fish caught. Aberrated fish might have altered stats, sell for different prices, or be required for unique research or quests.
    How does the size and type of the player's vessel (e.g., hull, engine, equipment slots) impact their ability to dredge and haul cargo from different depths and locations?
    Vessel upgrades directly influence dredging efficiency, cargo capacity, and the types of areas accessible. A larger hull and specialized equipment are vital to reaching deeper waters and hauling heavier, valuable catches.
    Describe the consequences of neglecting the condition of the boat and its equipment, and how these issues directly impede gameplay.
    Damaged equipment reduces efficiency. A damaged hull will leak causing the boat to sink. Failing to maintain your vessel can lead to slower travel speeds, reduced dredging capabilities, and increased risk of sinking.
    How does the game's day/night cycle affect the behavior of the fish and the types of resources available to the player?
    Certain fish species and resources are only available during specific times of day. Nighttime often brings more valuable catches but also increases the risk of 'Panic' and encountering dangerous creatures.
    Explain the role of 'research' in unlocking new fishing techniques, equipment, or areas; what are the resource requirements and the time investments?
    Research requires specific items or resources, which are traded at various locations to unlock new items. Research can take in-game time to complete, which you will need to take into consideration when planning your fishing trips.
    How does the player's inventory management – the layout, number of slots, and weight capacity – influence their ability to make successful fishing runs?
    Inventory limitations force careful planning about what to catch, which areas to target, and how long to stay out at sea, influencing the player's efficiency and potential profits.
    What is the relationship between the 'Dredge' mechanic and the discovery of both fish species and hidden artifacts, and how does it influence gameplay?
    Dredging is the primary means of discovering both rare fish and hidden artifacts, which are used for trading, selling, or advancing the storyline. Dredging increases the player's potential to discover things.
    How does the player's relationship with the various NPCs and settlements impact the availability of quests, resources, and upgrades?
    Building relationships with NPCs grants access to new quests, trading opportunities, and upgrades, directly influencing progression, access to resources, and overall gameplay options.
    What are the core gameplay mechanics that players need to use to manage and mitigate the effects of the 'Darkness' or 'Aberration' on their sanity?
    Players mitigate the 'Darkness' or 'Aberration' through avoiding risky areas, managing their time at sea, using specific equipment or items, or returning to safe settlements to reduce their 'Panic' levels.
