Better get ready – because you can now pre-order DREDGE and its Deluxe Edition! And if that wasn’t enough; DREDGE - Blackstone Key DLC, Soundtrack and a Digital Artbook are coming soon on GOG!

DREDGE is an exploration fishing adventure with a sinister undercurrent. You’ll captain a fishing trawler to explore a collection of remote isles, and then sell your catch to the local people and take up quests in order to learn more about each area’s troubled past. You’ll have to upgrade your boat, equip it with the best features to trawl deep-sea trenches and navigate to far-off lands. On your explorations, you might discover why exactly some things are best left forgotten; better watch time during your adventures though, because you might not like what finds you in the dark.

Pre-ordering the game now, you’ll receive an advantage of starting with an improved rod; it’s a stylish piece of equipment, decorated with the company colors of its creator. Apart from the looks though, the rod is in a reasonable condition and should allow you to get the edge on other anglers. You have a chance to place your pre-order until March 30, 5 PM UTC.

You will soon also be able to purchase DREDGE - Blackstone Key, in which you’ll receive a special key that’s going to allow you access into a mysterious workshop on Blackstone Isle that, as of now, is locked tight. Inside, there are otherworldly creations, products of cruel machinations by the previous occupants; now lying idle and abandoned. Maybe you’ll put them to some use?

Pre-order now, on GOG!
But does it have an action/reflex/timing fishing mini-game?

Because I hate fishing minigames in all their forms.

I think so, yeah.

I was pretty intrigued by the video but I see there is already DLC with an explicit lock on the game.

I'll personally wait for a sale/giveaway.

edit: oh the black key is like pretty cheap... I'll wait for reviews and feedbacks then.

So is this an over-fishing simulator? =P
I'm not seeing any gameplay in the trailers. Thankfully, I watched Angory Tom play the demo a few months ago, so I'm already familiar with the game.

It does, but we've tried to make it the least-annoying fishing minigame possible. Also, you can just ignore the minigame, and you'll still catch fish (just less efficiently)

There's gameplay in the first trailer!

Think of this DLC as "we want to support the developers a little bit more" - it's by no means a necessary purchase to enjoy the game, it just contains a couple of extra items.
I really hate when they suggest pre-ordering, but do not even give us a damn demo to try it out. And I know that they had a demo because I saw some youtubers play it. It's just not freely accessible apparently.

Thanks for the reply. That invigorates me to look into the title more!
This game is definitely a candidate to be one of my favorites of 2023.

Little question: I noticed that each platform will have a different Custom Fishing Rod as a pre-order bonus, but I can't find the GOG version, since each one matches the color of the console, will the GOG one be purple? :D

I'm not sure why there's no image up for it, but yes, the GOG rod is purple!

Great, I agree with Zoidberg, it's the best color!
They told me to preorder
HAHA Joke's on them, I always wait for discounts, even if it means waiting for a year or so!

Edit: So I watched Gab Smoulder playing that game and it's actually pretty interesting game. It's combination of harvest moon (but fishing version) with Lovecraft's "Shadows over Innsmouth" style of horror.

But I will still wait for discount and not preorder.
