So glad my queue is still running on because I bought Dredge only like less than 72 hours ago, and I’ve already mowed through both endings, all the side quests, and nearly the whole world encyclopedia. This goddamn game has grabbed me by the sphenoid, wriggled its vivacious little tendrils through my brain, and pulled me under. There is no damn sign of escape or breath any moment soon, but I can’t say it isn’t a fun ride.

Realize swiftly to fish by the security of daylight and to rest frequently, in order to avoid encountering the false ship, and other such things the townsfolk find troublesome to speak of. I watch the clock diligently and always try to keep a familiar port within eye view by the time dusk looms over my vessel. For a while, things go smoothly and I all but conquer the Marrows.

Eventually, I make my way to a rocky and cliff-surrounded bay in the south. A new, exciting area with new fish, quests, and fresh faces. Whatever new dangers there will be, I have learned that in the light with a clear mind, I will be safe. Besides, the waters here are shallow and the path between the cliffs narrow and close to respite. Eager to explore before the sunset, of course I molly on into one of those passageways.

As soon as I dare to begin dredging the waters for their treasures, the mountains themselves rumble and quake with a rising growl. Out of an enormous underwater hole I paid no attention to before, a monstrous, cyclopian eel with a maw that puts the anglerfish to shame slinks out. One glowing, hellish eye locks onto me as it misses the first lunge and I crash into the rock face in a panic. It’s broad daylight. I have what amounts to a nautical turbo boost ability now, but to use it in that tight maze of cliffs could end me faster than the serpent. When I maneuver back into the bay, barely outpacing it, it still chases me on past the docks before it gives up.

playing dredge. sailing around at night. see another ship on the water blaring its horn and beelining at me. think wtf and start heading back to the dock bc im not prepared for whatever this interaction is gonna be. the ship is much faster than me but thats ok, im pretty close to shore.

ship gets within viewing distance. the horn sounds kinda off. the lights in the windows don't look much like windows any more. there's a weird and distinctly un-ship-like shape under the water.

it's not a fucking boat. it's a fish pretending to be a boat. a big fucking fish chasing after me trying to trick me into thinking it's a fellow fisherman. when i get into range of the dock it shies away from the light and darts back underwater so fast it's like it was never there. i close the fucking game and never open it again.

I actually haven’t played Night in the Woods myself but everything I’ve gathered from the fan content and what bits and pieces I’ve picked up about it over the years is that it invokes a nearly identical emotional experience in its players as one feels when listening to Shakedown 1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins.

Finally finished bagging every single abhorrent variation of critter here (curse you moonfish) and gotten some fun snapshots of the beasties. I guess it’s apparent I only have one logical step forward now :)))
