Black Salt Games and Team17 Digital have today released a new, free update to the critically-acclaimed sinister fishing adventure DREDGE, which introduces additional deep-sea aberrations, wildlife events, a new monster to inflict trepidation into any fisherperson, and two new modes to the game: Passive Mode and Photo Mode.
The addition of a photo mode has been a regularly requested feature since DREDGE launched on 30th March, but like the game, all isn’t as it seems. Before players can spot nautical life through a lens and visually document their findings on the open sea – the Eldritch horrors that surround the area or wildlife events like schools of dolphins off the port bow – they’ll first have to fish for a piece of equipment and exchange it with a new islander, a photographer, for the new device.
Meanwhile, the game’s new ‘Passive’ mode is perfect for those cozy gamers who want to avoid the biggest nasties in DREDGE and lean into the game’s laid-back fishing gameplay while avoiding the more sinister side of the adventure. The new update also introduces a further ten aberrations ready to be caught, together with their less frightful fishy counterparts, as well as new wildlife events to observe, including a graceful whale shark – the largest living nonmammalian vertebrate – and pods of orca whales. Finally, a new monster from the deep has also been added, sure to ‘terror-ray-se’ even the hardiest of fishing vessels.
