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 sign-ups to soften the blow.

Dredge casts players as a fisherman in the unsettling town of Greater Marrow. Initially, the job involves simple fishing and selling to locals. However, the idyllic facade quickly crumbles as players encounter bizarre sea creatures, mysterious entities, and a creeping sense of madness on a nearby, enigmatic island.

Interested players can register for the closed mobile beta via a Google Form. Despite the delay, the game's numerous awards and critical acclaim suggest the wait will be worthwhile for those who haven't experienced it yet.

A Challenging Fishing Expedition

The delay is understandable, given the complexity of porting such a rich and expansive game to mobile. Holding another closed beta is a smart move, allowing for valuable player feedback and providing more access to this unique blend of horror and fishing gameplay.
