About DREDGE
Your journey begins at the Marrows archipelago, the home base from which you set sail to chart each remote island and its surrounding waters. Each island region hosts distinct inhabitants, quests, and hidden secrets, encouraging travel between them to piece together the broader narrative.
Outfit your trawler with researched equipment to reach deeper trenches and farther lands, while keeping an eye on the time. Night‑time fog hides sharp rocks, reefs, and unseen threats, so you must balance exploration with caution.
