Dredge is a 2023 fishing video game developed by Black Salt Games and published by Team17. A survival and horror game, it follows a fisherman who faces progressively Lovecraftian creatures as they explore an open world of archipelagos. The player's duties include exploring the area and catching fish. They can upgrade their fishing equipment and venture out to other archipelagos. It follows a day–night cycle; the day is serene, while the game's horror parts occur at night.

Runs well on modern hardware.
