    I am really glad this scored well, played the demo and really enjoyed it. Definitely got across that eerie feeling and also really like the stranger entering a little village and the feeling that the locals are hiding something from you. Amazing to have a game that feels so chill during day time but at night I can feel myself panicking to get back home! Love it

    This game is an absolute banger. The simple mechanics meld so well together with the overall atmosphere and haunting narrative weaving in and out of your travels.

    Gotta love the lovecraftian angle to games like this. The paranoid system at night is a really interesting way of applying that lovecraftian touch, and the game looks a lot more mechanically fun than I was expecting. Definitely going into the wish list.

    I'll admit I'm kind of obsessed with this game! I tried the demo thinking, I'll be bored after 10 minutes. 2 hours later I was still really enjoying it but didn't want to pay full price....2 days later I just kept thinking "I really want to play Dredge" then boom paid full price. Its rare for me to buy digital at full price but this is worth it! I love the music, gameplay and the methodical approach to how your in game day will play out. I love the air of mystery too and that sense of panic when that fog rolls in 😊.

    I just started this since my daughter bought it for me for Father's Day. She knows since this video, I've been itching to get my hands on this. Its wonderful, and amazing. Literally had two jump scares already. The level of panic as night sits in is definitely real. When i was younger and in the Coast Guard, when i drove a boat at night or through a blizzard, the panic is definitely a real feeling for sure. Thanks, guys, for another great recommendation, as this game does not disappoint. I couldn't imagine this in my backlog.😅

The first Leviathan I saw had me zig zagging towards the coastline in complete shock! The darkness really ramps up the tension, making me jump when creatures come out of the fog or from the murky depths! A great game for me! Glad you liked it too!

    I appreciated you guys reviewing this one! I’ve honestly been looking for a “fishing-style” game and although this game doesn’t have similar fishing mechanics to a typical fishing game, I feel that it captures the “vibe” of fishing super well through the audio and visual mechanics. The price is a bit high, I agree, but this is definitely something I’m going to keep my eye on for a potential sale in the future! Looks like fun!

    It's been a long time since I was excited about a game before it was released. To the point of looking forward to the release date. This game has accomplished that for me. I still played the demo before jumping in because being constantly burned by the gaming industry has left me hesitant to get excited. It was a blast and I bought the full game. I'm very glad I did. I'm a sucker for stylistic art and beautiful soundtracks with minimal overly-synthetic sounds. The wind and string instruments in dredge are wonderful and add to the overall spooky feel. Definitely recommended!

    This game excels where other Lovecraftian themed games have often failed. Namely, it is SUBTLE in its approach to horror, whereas other Lovecraftian titles try too hard to be “weird” right off the bat. Secondly, it doesn’t use its spooky theming as a crutch for mediocre gameplay. This actually has an addictive and, dare I say, FUN gameplay loop.

    I remember seeing a reddit thread a couple years ago about making a fishing game that has you catching regular fish and the longer you play and the better your gear, the fish you catch get stranger and stranger until you catch lovecraftian monstrosities that slowly make you go insane.

    I'm enjoying it but the text is tiny. It's extremely hard to read in handheld mode. You can change the text colour to increase contrast which helps a bit but annoyingly you can't change the size. If you'll be paying mostly in handheld, I recommend trying the demo to figure out if you can live with this.

    Why, Glen!? WHY!? I guess it's another game for me to find time for. The first clip of gameplay, when I saw that beautiful reflection of the sun on the water as it rose, blew me away. Simple clean style. I also appreciate the nighttime effect as it brings that eerie tone.
    Not gonna lie when you said anxiety. I totally agree. Being a retired Coastie here in the States, and being out at night, whether huge nor'easters, blizzards, or even crystal clear skies. The water gives off a very terrifying feel. It's quiet, and all you hear sometimes is the hum of the engine. I'm going to definitely enjoy this game with headphones. Just hope this retired "Puddle Pirate" doesn't have an anxiety attack while playing.😂

    Great review! It made me want to buy this awesome game. I'm a fan of mystery and cosmic/lovecraftian horror so this game is perfect for me! 😍 On day 126. I figured out that I can pretty safely go out at night if I put the game on "Passive" mode. It's not as scary thanks to that but I still enjoy it a lot and I can turn it on and off whenever I feel like it. Had to turn it on when I got my boat smashed to bits way too many times at night which I thought was a bit frustrating. 😅 So thank you so much for this review, @SwitchUpYt

    I pre-ordered this one, and have really been enjoying it. What a great game. So glad it came to Switch.

    This looks really cool, I'll certainly check it out on steam (my Switch has been retired from gaming now, I use my Steam Deck) so thanks for this! :)

    Finally downloaded the demo, played through it - all in one sitting 😮. Now it is on my wishlist. I like the strange fishes that I managed to catch in the demo. The only thing that I am having issue is I can't find the shortcut key for the map 😅 (don't see it in Y menu, maybe is not in demo)

    This game got smashing reviews on Steam and it appears to play well on Switch. While I could get it on steam I am going for it on Switch for portability. Its a chill game with a creepy story.

    Got hooked by the Demo and hopefully will be playing it around the 10th next month when it arrives.

    Does demo progress transfer over to the main game?

    Is there a way to shut off that text box in the game? ( Rotate Camera help box)
