DREDGE is a unique single-player fishing adventure with a sinister undercurrent. Based in the archipelago of 'The Marrows,' players must sell their catch to locals while completing quests to learn more about each area’s troubled past. As you progress, you can research special equipment and upgrade your boat to reach more distant lands and deeper waters. However, time management is crucial; as the sun goes down, the ocean becomes a dangerous place filled with eldritch horrors and mind-bending threats. It’s a game of exploration, inventory management, and survival where the greatest treasures are often better left at the bottom of the sea.

Our Expert Score
DREDGE is a rare gem that manages to be both incredibly relaxing and deeply unsettling at the same time. The core loop of sailing out, catching fish, and playing 'inventory Tetris' to fit your haul into the boat is strangely therapeutic. The colors are beautiful, and the sound of the waves is peaceful. But then the sun sets, the music shifts into something dissonant, and suddenly you’re terrified of a shape in the fog. That transition is handled masterfully.
On mobile, the controls feel surprisingly natural. Dragging fish into your inventory and steering the boat with touch inputs works better than I expected for a port. The mystery of the archipelago keeps you pushing just a little bit further into dangerous territory, driven by the 'one more haul' mentality. It’s a brilliant mix of RPG progression and Lovecraftian horror that stays with you long after you’ve docked for the night. If you missed this on PC or console, the mobile version is an absolute must-play.

Tips & Walkthrough
At night, your panic meter increases, especially if you aren't using bright lights. High panic leads to hallucinations and attacks from shadowy creatures. Use 'Rest' at docks to lower your panic and skip the dangerous nighttime hours if you aren't prepared.
Gameplays
Catching fish involves a timing-based mini-game. Once caught, you must fit the fish into your boat's limited grid-based cargo hold. Balancing space for valuable fish, dredging materials, and essential equipment is the core strategic challenge.

Q&A
Nighttime introduces fog, hallucinations, and aggressive sea monsters. It is much more dangerous but also offers opportunities to catch specific nocturnal fish.

Good game
Sat Apr 04 2026 VlarpI have the other dredge and I got this just to play it again. This game has monsters that genuinely scare me because it feels like you’re never safe. I have 2 of the endings (I don’t know if there are anymore) and if you want tips then read the below ⬇️ Spoilers: it’s good to skip the first area and do the others because the big fish/eel I don’t know is hard to avoid and probably will destroy your boat so try to go to swamp or something. When you get all the items the collector tells you to find, you can either not trust him or trust him. This is how you get the 2 endings (the good ending is the one where you don’t trust him). There are monsters. There are lots. (I’m saying this because I saw a review that says there are no monsters). This is a reallllly reallly good game
Dredge ideas
Thu Apr 02 2026 Dredge ideasI will give this game five stars if you can add a mod that lets you choose the size of three Monsters and start off with them in your inventory and it allows you to catch monsters and there’s a monster section in the index, and after that you can still catch monsters, but you start off with three of them and you get to choose like I just said I think that would be a good idea for the game and way helpful to noob at dredge. I also think that you should have a mod where you can start off with a big boat upgrade like you know you can have the largest boat when you start off and all that stuff because you’re very bad at the game but like the mods cost stuff.
Sooo great!!
Fri Apr 03 2026 Little miss DC88Let me start off by saying I’ve had this game on PlayStation five for a few months. I absolutely love every aspect of the game and when I heard it was coming to Apple Arcade I could not wait!! Just hit my phone yesterday and I’ve been playing about 30 minutes and the gameplay seamless controls are great and the storyline is the same from what I’ve seen. I’m really excited to play more and see what’s in store in this game because it is a great way to kill time and as a really cool storyline, animation, and everything else you ask for.
Incredible So Far
Wed Apr 01 2026 YoMcNeely!I’ve played so far about 30 minutes before it going to bed, and Dredge has honestly already been one of the best Apple Arcade games I’ve played. I’ve been looking for a game that I look forward to playing while I’m on the plane, and this is just that. I look forward to playing more of it!
Love the game! One suggestion
Sat Apr 04 2026 WeirdparadoxI love dredge! I’ve played it on pc and now on phone, I’m loving it so far, but the small hud is a bit of a issue for me, I have big hands and it gets hard to precisely put stuff where I want it. If there was a option to make it all a bit bigger that would be cool :)
Please make it so old people can read it 🤣
Thu Apr 02 2026 Usmc171I really want to play this on my phone, but it’s too much strain on my 54 year old eyes. Please make an option to change the font size. Seems like a great game.
Cannot upgrade/install equipment solve tasks
Sat Apr 04 2026 TNT220Game seems interesting, but I have the following issues: 1. Cannot sell all fish, clicking button does nothing. 2. Cannot install new rod, install button does nothing. 3. Cannot solve the mayors tasks, the dockhand dialogue does nothing give option to hand over package.. Basically I am stuck and for this I for now have to give 1 star and hope to be able to upgrade to more later.
Bigger HUD
Thu Apr 02 2026 n_nIt’s hard to play and read with the hud being so small. No way to scale it up. Also the fish and items should go into the spaces automatically if space is available.
