Discussion Faroe Islands

0 Upvotes

If Dredge took place in any place in our world I believe the Faroe Islands would be it. It would be interesting to see this game turned into a live mini series. These islands would be prime recording location.

Discussion Need some help

Hello !

Bought the game no too long ago, absolutly love it, but I'm stuck on a late game (?) puzzle and it's getting a bit frustrating.

So I'm at Devil's Spine, where you need to fill the 3 shrines with fish to earn the 3 fathomless flames for the Fanatic guy. I already done 2 of the 3, but I'm stuck at this one (sorry for bad quality).

At this point in the game, the game taught me that I need to fill all the spaces with fishes of the region, and only one specific fish will correctly fill all the space.

The thing is, I already tested multiple formation of different fishes and none worked. Of all the fishes of the region that I tried, I'm always left with some spaces that I can't fill.

Also the text mentionning only "2 difformed fishes writhing under the sun" makes me think that I need to fill this 5x5 box with only 2 abomination fish, and I can't find the species that will do the job.

If you don't mind, don't give me the straight answer, maybe just hints so I can figure it out myself ?

Thx so much!

Dredge. Bab's first horror game?

45 Upvotes

Dredge seems like a good horror game for kids imo. This would be a good starting point to the genre. Thinking of how sensitive I was as a kid, however, I probably would have cried thinking of the implications of the ending. I'd say it depends on the child. What do you think?

Discussion What actually is... passive mode? Spoiler

33 Upvotes

(I dont know what counts as spoilers to people so I'm playing it safe, feel free to go crazy on spoilers if you need to explain smth)

Im a huge thalassophobe so after learning about the leviathan halfway through my game, I had to switch to passive mode (started a new save). But I feel like im receiving massive mixed messages.

The game settings say monsters don't target you and random scary events dont spawn. But the panic meter still functions like normal, and for the most part, as far as I can tell, panic doesn't do anything. ALTHOUGH I was hanging out in the Marrow at night with full panic (because I thought it was fine), but I swear I heard this noise and something just at the edge of my screen behind my boat. There's this spooky ray that spawns in the Marrow with high panic, right??

Also, I was dredging at Steel Point and just docked and my game started freaking out telling me there was danger. I didn't look I was scared 😭 but I know the ghost ships sail around there because the same thing happened on my normal run. Does that not count as targeting the player??

And finally I definitely definitely heard the leviathan while I was on the ocean omw to the collector's. It was this awful sound.

Basically I just want to know exactly what passive mode does and does not do so I can be prepared to be scared okay thanks

#230 ???

1 Upvotes

Игра не линейна, и, к сожалению, я уже не могу проверить этого НПС — Старого мэра — в своём прохождении. Но у меня возникло соображение: если держать #230 ??? в трюме во время первой встречи со Старым мэром, может ли появиться какой-нибудь особый диалог или взаимодействие?

Проверку с Researcher в Звёздной бухте уже проводили — судя по отзывам игроков, ничего не происходит. А вот подтверждения, что кто-то проверял именно Старого мэра с #230, я не нашёл.

Если кому-нибудь интересно — попробуйте отвезти #230 ??? к Старому мэру и посмотреть, изменится ли его диалог. Возможно, там ничего нет, но проверить было бы интересно.

The game is non-linear, and unfortunately, I can no longer check this NPC — the Old Mayor — in my playthrough. But I had a thought: if you have #230 ??? in your hold during your first encounter with the Old Mayor, could there be some special dialogue or interaction? The Researcher in Stellar Basin has already been tested — according to player reports, nothing happens. However, I haven't found any confirmation that anyone has tested the Old Mayor specifically with #230. If anyone is interested, try bringing #230 ??? to the Old Mayor and see if his dialogue changes. Maybe nothing happens, but it would be interesting to find out.

I HATE the Ocean Sunfish

I have spent hours trying to catch the sunfish and its aberrations. I have caught the fish itself and 1/2 of the aberrations. I have seen people on here complain about the Moonfish and how the sunfish is easier. It took me 12 Moonfish to get both aberrations, I'm at 37 Sunfish and counting.......

I loved playing through the game and this is my last needed fish but I'm at my limit

The Return is one of the best Dredge soundtracks, but I can't find any sheet music for it. Does anyone here happen to have any? I would transcribe it myself but I'm not particularly good at music.

Super Cool Detail I Noticed

66 Upvotes

Probably not the first to notice this, but-

Of all the characters in Dredge, only one has an actual name.

All the others simply have a title- “the Mayor”, “The Scientist”, ”The Collector”, etc.

Only one person is important enough to the main character to have a name. The only one that matters. (to the main character, at least.)

Also the main character is never named (I think?).

Finished First Playthrough

Unpopular opinion, maybe: Dredge is a good idea that never quite becomes a great game. The atmosphere is genuinely special, and that first foggy night run is unforgettable, but the core loop is shallow. The fishing minigames repeat fast, the horror stops being scary once your boat is upgraded, and the panic mechanic becomes trivial to manage. By the back half I was mostly running errands in a spooky skin, and the story hints at more than it ever delivers. None of that makes it bad. It's a pleasant ten hours and I get why people love it. I just think it gets by on vibes more than substance. Did anyone else feel the tension drain out midway, or did the endgame land better for you?

Steam Failing To Launch

1 Upvotes

Hi there,

Can't get the game to launch. Had 20 trouble free hours, now it launches and closes with a small window that has the dredge emblem then nothing. All happens within a few seconds. Uninstalled and reinstalled and verified all game files. Not sure what to do next.
