About the Game
Captain your fishing trawler to explore a collection of remote isles, and their surrounding depths, to see what lies below. Sell your catch to the locals and complete quests to learn more about each area’s troubled past. Outfit your boat with better equipment to trawl deep-sea trenches and navigate to far-off lands, but keep an eye on the time. You might not like what finds you in the dark...
Explore the Islands & Discover their Secrets
Starting from your new home in the remote archipelago, ‘The Marrows’, take to the water and scour the depths for curious collectables and over 125 deep sea denizens. Explore each area while completing quests and visiting neighbouring island regions – each with their own unique opportunities, inhabitants, and secrets.
Dredge the Depths
Someone wants you to dig up the past, but can you trust them and will it ever be enough?
Beware the Fog
Danger is everywhere, so watch for sharp rocks and shallow reefs, though the biggest threats of all lurk within the fog that cloaks the night-time seas...
Game Features:
Unravel a Mystery: Captain your fishing trawler across a collection of remote islands, each with its own inhabitants to meet, wildlife to discover, and stories to unearth.
Dredge the Depths: Scour the sea for hidden treasures and complete quests to gain access to strange new abilities

We've just released update 1.5.3 for DREDGE. This update addresses what should hopefully be the last round of bugs for The Iron Rig.
Patch Notes:
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the Aurous Anchor could be duplicated. Players who already have excess Aurous Anchors can get rid of them by doing the following: Deploying them all at sea (via Inventory > Cast Overboard). Save and Quit the game. When loading, only 1 will be preserved, which you can collect.
- Fixed an issue where 16:10 aspect ratios were considered unsupported.
- Fixed an issue where a handful of ooze spots in Twisted Strand and Stellar Basin could not be cleared under certain conditions.
- Fixed an issue where SteamDeck detection was not working in certain conditions.
Thank you for your continued support!

- Fixed an issue where one patch of ooze couldn't be fully cleared in Twisted Strand under certain conditions.

- A handful of small text fixes.
Additionally, the whole team is incredibly grateful for your support. The reception to The Iron Rig has exceeded our expectations, and we're so happy you've enjoyed diving back into the world of DREDGE.

Fixes
- The grids at the ice shards in The Pale Reach now only accept ice axes.

- We’re aware of a few more instances of this occurring in some side quests, specifically when refusing to pick up quest items from NPCs. To avoid this, you can either:
- Reload, and do not refuse the item.
- Change your text speed to “Normal”.
- Added missing ambient audio to the shrine in The Pale Reach.
- Fixed a typo in the line that describes the dog vomiting.

Patch Notes:
For owners of The Pale Reach
- Added The Pale Reach area - and all the features and content it contains.
- Players can check their map to see how to get to this new area.
For all players
Features
- Added a “Control Icon Style” setting to the Display tab. This can be used to force the game to use Xbox/PlayStation/Nintendo Switch button icons, instead of attempting to detect what’s plugged in.
- Added a “Heartbeat SFX” setting to the Accessibility tab. This can be disabled to silence in-game SFX that feature a heartbeat. (These SFX are mostly in The Pale Reach)
- Added Razer Chroma integration for a number of in-game effects.
Adjustments
- The “Quests” and “Messages” screens now have multiple tabs.
- Increased the size of the Message Detail window, and the text size.
- Added an “Additional Content” button to the main menu.
- Slightly rearranged the Encyclopedia layout to show an icon representing the area that a species is found in.
- Equipment that provides an aberration bonus will now provide it all the time (previously, damaged equipment would not add its bonus to the total).
- V-sync is now enabled by default for new players.
- Added and updated some names in the Credits.
Fixes
- The game should no longer silently overwrite a corrupt save when loading from the main menu. It will now show an error message directing players to customer support for recovery assistance.
- Fixed an issue introduced in 1.3.0 that caused crashes when reading some messages in some languages.
- Fixed an issue where the dock at Ingfell would disappear if you looked at it from the wrong angle.
- Fixed an issue where the previous line of dialogue would show for a frame as the new line was loading in, making it look and feel as though you’d accidentally skipped over a line. This issue was more prevalent in Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages.
- Fixed an issue where restoring settings back to default would cause the game to forget which save to use for the ‘Continue’ button.
- Fixed an issue where the in-game time would slow or sometimes stop progressing completely for some players. This usually occurred on long-running saves of over 150 days of in-game progress.
- Fixed an issue where some Red Snapper, Barreleye and Ghost Shark fishing spots were not repopulating correctly.
- Fixed an issue where a couple of the wildlife encounters could very occasionally breach through islands.
- Fixed an issue with a collision box on one of the islands in Stellar Basin.

- Spyglass Sensitivity - sliders for horizontal and vertical movement.
- Haste VFX - disables the visual effects (FOV pull & screen shake) that occur when the Haste ability is activated.
- V-sync
Adjustments

Patch Notes:
Features
- Added Boat Customization
- After you’ve acquired your dredge crane as part of the main story, a new character will set up shop at Little Marrow - The Painter! He’ll be able to make adjustments to your boat’s appearance.
- The Painter starts with some basic options available, but you’ll be able to discover additional paint ingredients and flag designs.
- Added crab aberrations (craberrations).
- Added a new filter to the Encyclopedia to display Crabs.
- Added a number of new shipwrecks around the world.
Adjustments
- Equipment tooltips now display the previously hidden “Aberration Catch Bonus” statistic.
- Slightly buffed some of these values on some rods.
- Rebalanced crab pots slightly.
- All crab pots provide some aberration catch bonus, with higher tier / special pots offering a larger bonus.
- Mouth of The Deep catch rate and duration reduced to make progressing the crab pot tech tree more meaningful.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where in very rare cases, the game would take longer than expected to save. Losing power during this time would cause save files (and in some cases, backup save files) to become corrupt.
- Added a new font which should handle Japanese characters better and prevent them from falling back to use Chinese characters in some scenarios.
- Fixed an issue where clicking on the boat upgrade purchase button too quickly could cause the screen to get stuck.
- Fixed an issue where some areas of the sea floor reported that they were 100m+ deep when they clearly were not.
- Fixed an issue where some achievements would not trigger immediately if the last thing they required was for you to catch a crab.
- Fixed an issue where players could get stuck on the map screen if it was switched to another screen while a marker was being placed.
- Fixed some small animation issues.
