The mobile port of Dredge, the Lovecraftian fishing horror game, has been delayed until February 2025. However, Black Salt Games has announced a new closed beta with open registration to compensate for the postponement.
Dredge casts players as a fisherman in the unsettling town of Greater Marrow. Initially, the gameplay involves simple fishing and selling to locals. However, the experience quickly descends into a chilling journey involving strange sea creatures, mysterious entities, and the creeping threat of madness on a nearby island.
Interested players can register for the closed mobile beta via a Google form. Despite the delay, Dredge's numerous awards and critical acclaim suggest the wait will be worthwhile for those who haven't yet experienced this unique blend of horror and fishing.
A challenging fishing adventure
The delay is understandable, given the complexity of porting such a vast and detailed game to mobile devices. The additional closed beta is a smart move, allowing for valuable player feedback and broader testing before the official launch. This ensures a smoother and more polished mobile experience.
