About the Game
DREDGE is a single-player fishing adventure about trawling deep waters and uncovering buried island secrets.
DREDGE is a single-player fishing adventure with role-playing elements, developed by Black Salt Games and published by Team17. You command a trawler and explore a chain of remote islands along with the deep sea around them. The game mixes fishing, trading, and character progression into one slow-burning journey.
The core loop starts from Marrows, a remote island group that serves as your home base. You head out to trawl the water for strange collectibles and more than 125 kinds of deep-sea creatures. Your catch can be sold to local residents, and completing their tasks reveals more about each region's past. Earnings go toward upgrading your boat and crafting specialized equipment, which lets you reach deeper trenches and more distant lands. Time matters, so you need to plan each trip carefully.
What stands out is the way the story unfolds. Someone asks you to dig up old events, and you must decide whether to trust them and let the matter rest. Every island has its own residents, wildlife, and secrets to discover. Hazards include sharp rocks and narrow reefs, but the biggest danger is the fog that rolls over the sea after dark. When night falls, you need to strengthen your mind and use your abilities to escape.
If you enjoy games that reward patience and curiosity, DREDGE gives you plenty to explore at its own pace.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
DREDGE suits players who enjoy atmospheric adventures with fishing, trading, and upgrade loops. It is a good match for anyone who likes mysteries that unfold slowly through side tasks, conversations, and exploration. Solo players who prefer a calm, reflective pace will find a lot to enjoy here.
Not Recommended For
Players looking for fast action or constant combat should look elsewhere, since DREDGE is built around patient exploration and careful planning. If you dislike time pressure or dark, foggy night sequences, the game's rhythm may frustrate you. Those who want a fully social experience will also find that it is designed for a single player.
What the Steam Reviews Say
DREDGE carries the Steam label Overwhelmingly Positive, with 95% of its reviews being positive. That percentage comes from tens of thousands of reviews, which makes it a strong signal that the large majority of players who finished or sampled the game came away pleased.
On Steam, the review label is calculated from the share of positive reviews and the total volume, so a high percentage backed by a large sample is usually a dependable indicator. Titles with small review counts can swing sharply with a handful of opinions, so they are less reliable. Here, the sample is large enough that the overall picture should hold steady.
Price History & Historical Low
We started recording this game's Taiwan-store price on 2026-08-11 and have 16 day(s) of data so far.
Latest recorded price: NT$299 (regular NT$749)
A price chart appears here once we have recorded at least a week of prices with some variation.
All prices below are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. DREDGE is currently NT$ 299, down from its regular price of NT$ 749, a 60% discount. That current price matches the lowest price we have recorded, and the highest price we recorded was also NT$ 299, so the game has not been priced above this level in our records. Our price record is still short, and the discount has been applied often.
We have not recorded any free-to-keep offer for DREDGE, so it is not something to wait for in the hope of a free copy. The deepest discount we have logged is the same 60% shown today.
Because our price record is still short, this verdict is tentative. If you want the game now, NT$ 299 is the lowest price we have seen and represents a strong deal. If you prefer more price history before committing, wishlisting it and watching for sale notifications is a sensible alternative.
