I'm actually a bit sad to see this series go! This is a great game between its tense Lovecraftian horror and just chill fishing and boat upgrade routine. Glad to have been along for the ride!
Ah man this was a beautiful game through and through. The "good" ending made sense, but you can't help but feel that yeah, there might have been some hope for the fisherman after coming to terms with his loss? Not all sure what to take away from that, but damn I've got emotions.
@@ImAnAverageGuy I'm aware that the warehouse on the island is supposed to be DLC of some description, but I rather doubt that'll be a very substantive update? So yeah, just looking forward to more from the Dev. I'm likely picking the game up just as a show of support (I am... bad at playing horror games) cuz this was hella cool!
@@Lyander25Oh I didn't really know I just started playing the game and I already think it deserves more. I really hope Black Salt *seas* (lol) the game's potential.
@@Candy-md1uk that’s what I was thinking too. I watch her because she actually wants to learn the story of it, the other 2 people I watched just sped through their first episodes and didn’t read anything then got mad they couldn’t figure out what to do 🤣🤣
@@darkheartchick I'm not sure why you think she speds through, a lot of other youtubers don't even read anything, and skip parts, she actually reads everything and tries to understand and explain. What do you expect?
I like to think of the Leviathan (the big guy who eats you in the good ending) as kind of the ocean protector. In the bad ending, you summon Cthulhu and something that used to be your wife at the cost of the world. In the good ending you make the choice to spare the world, and the Leviathan eats you - the one with the knowledge of where the book is and how to use it - to make sure the world stays spared. I also liked encountering the Leviathan just swimming around the map while playing. It never attacked - though I know it does if you sail out of bounds.
The "Leviathan" also will randomly encircle your boat then attack you if you're at max paranoia if you're far enough out in any patch of open water even within bounds of the map, and you can use "banish" on it in that case. There's also a similar kill with a giant tentacle that comes out of the water and smacks you, a shark about the same size as the boat-anglerfish that charges you, and a swarm of either flying fish or birds that attacks your boat, though I've only seen that last one once. I wanna try to do a "no sleeping" run after the godawful amount of time I spent trying to randomly roll research parts for the research tree achievements.
@@zilentecho3954 No, they don’t need to put a spoiler warning in their comment. Passive aggressive remarks like yours could just make this person feel bad for making a completely normal comment. The comments are for replying to the video’s content. You shouldn’t ever read comments before watching the entire thing if you’re concerned about finding out what happens at the end of a video. Take that advice wherever you go on CZcams. Including trailers to movies that others may have already watched since people will go back to trailers to talk about the movie.
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa2004 that’s true! Though the Leviathan is the only one of those things you encounter when not paranoid, as well, which sets it apart from the rest. It seems to be separate from the creatures influenced by the Cthulhu monster.
Actually Gab, what you’re hearing aren’t eagles but hawks! Eagles have quiet cries in reality. In medias such as movies, programs, and video games, the eagle’s cry is replaced with a hawk’s cry. (The same way the “lion” roars in the Lion King are actually tiger roars!) The more you know! 💫
It's cool that when we first meet the curator we see him in a window. Really brought everything together. I would have liked to learn more about the mysterious packages sent between the mayor and the dock worker, myself, but maybe not knowing is better. I'm sure it's more of a nod to Lovecraft's stories.
Gods, this game is just so powerful. Dredging up the past, how it can drive you insane, the choices to move on and their difficulty, coping with loss and the life of sailors and their families. Losing someone to the sea and having no one to blame but the ocean, but that ocean is your life, and if you blame it, you live in fear and isolation. Ah its just so damn good and relatable for someone like me who grew up around fishers, sailors, navy, and the balance of taking from the sea but not growing so ready that she takes back or takes you. Gods this game, it had me crying and enjoying!
The way they make you stay within the map is great too in this game as that same leviathan that kills you in the good ending starts hunting you. Fun fact. The leviathan is probably a good creature as it's the only big monster type that isn't 'weird' looking. The others all have a purple glow. But ngl story wise I may prefer the bad ending. As its so bittersweet.
@@NahidFrolloBy the ending you're meant to have pieced most of the story together, the ending is just the last period in the conclusion, the final act is everything you learn from Devil's Spine. And I think it would be a lot worse if both endings revealed the same information as each other, that's too clean for an eldritch horror.
So there are still couple things I do not understand. The first one being that black goo that basically zombified that Dockworker. None of these creatures in the endings or the beasts/ bosses of each area really have a black goo to them so why is it a thing? Can you continue to talk to him through him after some time? He is constantly looking at the bottom of the sea so I would assume it is something for the endings. Are we the Old Fisherman? When you ask the Mayor about the fisherman before us who owned the boat, he talks likes he hates him. The old Fisherman was lazy, he would sleep all day and then be put all night and says that he is untrustworthy. Was that us when we found the book? When we lost our wife? There is four characters that know about the truth: the Lighthouse Keeper, the Old Mayor, the Collector, and our Wife.
Part of me is fairly convinced that these gaps and ambiguities are completely deliberate. If all loose ends are neatly tied up in a story, the whole sense of mystery and unease just evaporates. I played through this game before starting any of Gab's streams (damn, the first one was hard to not watch, as the game hadn't even been released at the time). Then started watching Gab's playthrough while doing another run myself. And in all three cases, the interpretation of the story is rather different. This, to me, is far more satisfying than a 'more satisfying' conclusion. If you see what I mean. 🤔
@@Varksterable true and I am glad you found enjoyment in this game to the point of playing along side Gabs and/ or trying to get ahead of her. I know a lot of us do this whenever she does a new game series. I also feel like when it come to Lovecraftian games, there are things are never answered as it keep the mystery alive and sense of wonder for this type of genre
@@gregputnam7243 It was more a case of not wanting to see any spoilers until I'd played it through myself. I've got halfway through this stream, and something significant has just happened in it that makes me seriously question if I should finish watching it, or return once I've explored a little more for myself in the game. I has been great watching Gab play this amazing game. And she is much more insightful, capable and quick to catch on than I am. But there are some things I'd much rather see for myself the first time. A great example of this is the attack of the Kraken thing in Stellar Basin. That's something you can't fully appreciate unless you are controlling the boat, and you don't know about it in advance. 🛥🦑🦑🦑🦑
In celebration of this final episode, have my favourite nautical joke: "What's a pirate's favourite letter?" "R?" "No, a Pirate's first love is the C."
If you want to open the workshop, you would need to buy the deluxe edition to get the key. Inside the workshop, there is a fishing talisman and an engine. The talisman increases the chances of aberrant fish, and the engine increases speed when if your sanity is high (that's what some people think it means when the description says, "its heart beats at the same time with yours.")
3:17:38 that was the roar of the leviathan. The monster that swallowed you in one of the ending scenes. You can see him much better when you travel past the edge of the map. It is an enormous creature. Definitely worth seeing. 😮
Just a suggestion if you end up deciding to get the rest of the fish later. You could probably cheese the system by docking with the merchant by the jellyfish. Sleep during the day, then fish for jelly’s at night, then by time you dock next morning you might be able to buy another research part like how the explosives would regenerate the next morning. That way it kills 2 birds with one stone. 😊
The collector, dramactally "make haste! we have precious cargo, with luck the seas won't now about our intentions, quickly!" Gab" *horn, horn* I'M GOING TO SAVE YOU!!! oh, how fondly (and loud) I laughed! only gab. 😂❤
Nooo, this can't be the end :( I was just making this series my comfort serie and was prepared on at least a few more episodes, sad to see it go so soon
You know it's a good game when I can watch your entire playthrough, see all the endings, and still go out and buy it to play for myself. Wonderful series on this one, I can't wait to see what these devs come up with next (and hopefully watch you play DLC!) :D
Just finished the game myself yesterday. 🎉 Both endings..🦑🌊⛵ Your playthrough is why i had to get the game for myself. What a pleasant surprise to have your video to watch now. Also at the beginning I got bumped by The Angler and lost The Builder overboard. RIP. 😅
I could have quit and restarted but I didn't find out that until I had made too much progress. So that's a bummer. Also I sold the Bronze Belt Buckle like a dummy, instead of returning it to the Grieving Father. Whoops again.
@Meadow's Brook & Brambles When a bit of bad luck like that happened to me for the first time, I deliberately rammed my boat into nearby rocks in frustration. And sank, of course. But only to be reset to the latest save, just a minute or so back. It's now a mandatory tactic when I accidently crash and lose something. (Which I seem to do a heck of a lot more than Captain Gab does..)
I live in California and the areas with the orange sky gave me flashbacks to when the Bay Area actually looked like that. At one point in 2020, wildfires were so bad and there was so much smoke in the atmosphere that it distorted the light and turned the sky that same orange. It was so unnatural that you couldn't take an accurate picture on your phone because it would try to color correct it. It really looked and felt like the apocalypse, so the game using that imagery for the Lovecraftian Horror areas was a great addition to the atmosphere.
The research parts dry up at the end, the easiest way to fill the research tree when this happens is to go to a traveling merchant pontoon then keep save and quitting then continuing to see if she has one. Its random when it happens but its usually between 6 and 10 times, its honestly the fastest way.
girl you have no idea how much I needed this - I'm stressed out to words that would get this video demonetized so thank you for the ounce of joy love you beebs and your content always
Okay so here is my silly little interpretation of the story that’s most likely wrong Spoilers ahead! Okay so the main character is the husband described in the notes we find in the bottles, I have no clue how but somehow either him or his wife may have messed with some eldritch horror. Whatever took her caused that red book to appear and for a part of the main character to split off as a semi-self aware person who remembers the incident and knows enough to understand getting all of the relics would bring her back. The aberrations I think are caused by some sort of curse that comes from the red book just being out of the ocean, after the good ending the fog is lifted, the sky clears, and the sea calms. The book being handled may also cause the weird aberrant fish. Then there is what happens to someone who eats the aberrant fish, I think one of two things happen, the first idea I have is they get deathly ill and die for a couple of seconds and revive, but they come back different possibly possessed by the eldritch horror maybe? The fishmonger said something about a rumor, one where eating the aberrant fish grants immortality, but at the cost of not being in control of yourself possibly. Think of the sick dock worker, whatever package we gave to him leaked the same substance that was leaking from his mouth and ears. He was getting aggravated by our presence when we asked if he was alright. Maybe consuming the aberrant fish makes said person ill, maybe they don’t end up controlled by the eldritch horror but rather they see our character in a different light. Maybe they see us and remember something that we have long forgotten? The scientist that we meet says her sister was dead yet she finds those bottled messages in her handwriting, this may hint to some sort of time distortion that occurred upon her death, maybe some part of her exists outside her body like how the collector exists outside our main character. The scientist may actually be our sister in law but we don’t remember her and she may not really remember us. As far as the town goes I think we keep returning there in some sort of time loop or something like that. Maybe we keep dying, but come back every time with no memory. Maybe the town forgets us too to a certain extent, except the lighthouse keeper seems to remember. But how long have we been in this loop? How many times have we failed only to come back again? I do have a small theory that the lighthouse keeper may have been a part of our dead wife that split of during the incident trying to have us let go so both she and the main character can finally rest peacefully. Anyways I may be wrong and totally off the mark but if anyone has any ideas, criticism, or suggestions to add or alter this theory, feel free to add.
in one of the notes it says that in the boat renaming ceremony they were supposed to throw out everything with the old boats name but the wife kept a keychain with the old name on it- i think that sabotaged the ceremony and caused everything to be fucked up
Here's a recap of how the whole thing panned out: Happy newlywed couple goes on a boat tour of a bunch of nice islands for their honeymoon (guy is a fisherman). Guy decides to be romantic and rename the boat with his wife's name but the ceremony must be done right or else it will bring "bad luck", however the wife doesn't really believe in that and fucks up by secretely keeping an item with the boat's old name. During a trip they have some first bad luck with part of their stuff falling into the water, so the husband sets up some "dredging equipment" and the couple gets into dredging stuff up from the depths looking for treasure. They dredge an old locked chest, open it, husband gets cursed (void in his eyes) while the wife starts getting chills and feeling bad: the chest was sealing an evil summoning book (think Necronomicon but related to sea monsters), a mysterious fog starts showing up everywhere. Leviathan (giant huge ass fish) destroys their ship possibly to try stopping the book from being read, wife drowns and is cursed under the ocean. Husband washes ashore alive, still holding the book but having lost everything and mourning his wife. The void takes shape as the "Collector", an alternate persona that erases his memories to ease him out of the pain. Time passes, meanwhile all sort of shit happens in the bay, monsters and krakens and the fog covers everything. Enter the "fisherman", which is actually the husband with memory loss, who gets employed by the Collector (his own cursed counterpart) to gather all the past relics of his wife to perform a resurrection ritual with the book. The wife is actually still cursed at the bottom of the sea, and can only communicate with the surface by sending some bottled messages we can find, hoping for the fisherman to throw the damn book away. The ritual works, wife is released from the sea, but the old god responsible for all the aberrations and monsters tags along. Or, alternatively, the fisherman(husband) does the right thing, let go of his grief, throws the cursed book back where it belongs, and then the Leviathan eats both so that no trace (cursed book and cursed owner) remain around.
People are missing that the main character was deliberately messing with the occult in the first place. The specifics of the renaming ceremony wasn't just to prevent "bad luck", it was an excuse for the wife to be oblivious to the fact the ceremony had very real magical purpose. But by not telling her, she messed it up accidentally believing it to just be silly superstition instead of life and death. He gets her killed, and in spite of having the power of the book that he wanted, he was now empty without her. The curse was caused by him. The Collector isn't just a manifestation, it's the curse he put on himself to make him forget about his own painful memories for long enough to hunt what he needed to resurrect her. In other words, who he was 20 odd years before, someone who was captivated by the occult so much he gave up his job as a fisherman in search of power. In a way the Collector is the protag confronting himself as the spell wears off in a delusional way, not a completely seperate entity.
Slightly spoilery, but I LOVED the bad ending. It's genuinely terrifying, makes you think Oh No what have I done? That what came out of the ocean gave me the proper chills. Dunno how I feel about the good ending tho. It's kinda the same as most horror good endings in which you don't feel it's good at all.
Seeing your playthrough after mine allowed me to see the intro scene more fully. You can actually see the glasses and the book next to your character and the first encounter was in the reflection of the boat's window. It was in front of us the whole time and I love that kind of stuff.
There is a moment in the 1st video that made me go "Wait, how the heck did the Collector actually get to Greater Marrow? Like, on what boat?" because I started watching Gab's videos before geting the "good" ending myself. Love it when things like that actually mean something rather than just being an oversight 😂❤
Yep, great game, bought it for my Switch and am ready to fish. Thank you for playing this game, which let me know of it's existence, and now I'll silently hope they add more islands and fish to the game (as updates or even DLC) before going to the next one.
This video is a light in a dark for me right now. I'm in a bad place in my life, about to be homeless, but seeing you, Evelyn and Bibi and your hugs and this lovely game just gave me so much emotional relief and coziness and all the good feels that I needed. Thank you so much
Hey stranger friend, I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. Just wanted you to know that I see you and I’m wishing you better days and help from unexpected sources ❤
This has been one of my favorite series from Gabby. I've watched as much as her Nancy games and HOGs. I'm now determined to play it myself. Thank you, Gabby!
When I heard that you had an additional recording session to finish out this game, I came here and checked it out. Thank you for fulfilling my itch to see everything.
I get that people find it cute and I do too to a certain degree but this game genuinely wells up terror from the base of my spine like none else and I don't knwo what it was. That first ending make my stomach turn. What an amazing wee game
I love all your playthroughs, but this one was something special. You kept me sane on a VERY long trip with these, and I want you to know how much you're appreciated
The commitment to completionism is unreal. No joke - even if it's not 100%, the amount of time spent on the quests and hours fishing is real commitment! I love this game
This game has so much expansion and DLC potential. With map new areas, missions and fish. The leviathan is still out there and all kinds of stories could be developed that coukd follow on. I REALLY HOPE they extend this and deliver a Dredge II game.
I'm usually not a fan of games that involves any fishing mechanic, but this one was an exception. They've mixed a lot of things in here, without detracting from its main premise. Plus, you're guaranteed a catch, once you move towards a particular spot in the waters. It encourages the collector in you, while exploring these islands that're rich with Eldritch lore. I'll miss this series.
what an amazing game tho i will say kinda wish they leaned a bit more into horror stuff at times like rewarding you in someway for going insane maybe more scary fish which is worth more a reason to be up late and so on. and ofc maybe just more visual stuff like a giant eye starring at you from underneath the ocean at night stuff like that just random encounters here and there that makes you nervous.
Wasn’t expecting it to be just three streams! But I mean.. they are all around 2-3 hours.. sad to see this is the end! Oh well, can rewatch it every few years like with Jacks The Last Guardian series
I too spent a long time after that aberrant aurora jellyfish and I finally got it when I trawled around the OUTSIDE of the basin islands instead of around the interior. Almost immediately too once I went outside the islands. Not sure if it's an actual technique or just blind luck tho.
I knew it! I had thought a few times the birds sound like birds I hear in Australia. The credits said New Zealand, there's lot of birds shared between both countries of course - especially birds around water. I feel validated haha
Great ending to a great game! ALSO! So close to 1 MILLION SUBS on youtube!!! Congratulations! So excited to see your channel continue to grow! I have been watching since around 400k and it has been awesome to see the cool things you have done over the years. Congrats again!!
This game was so much fun, your playthrough inspired me to get it myself a few days ago! Already finished it aswell and absolutly loved it XD Thank you for playing this Gab!
I can’t believe this ended so fast! I really hope they add a story dlc down the road with new areas, mini fish boss’s and bigger boats! It would be epic! Thanks for playing this gab!
Hi, Gab. A bough (pronounced /bau/) is a main branch of a tree. Its homonym bow has several meanings including: to quit a competition, to bend the body in an act of submission or reverence, to acknowledge applause, or debut.
. . : *sad toot toot* : . . I'm sorry to see you wrap up Dredge, but all good things must come to an end. . . for more good things ahead, of course. Very much enjoyed your playthrough! As always, looking forward to more of your content
Watched several people's playthroughs of Dredge, and Gab's is by far the best. Her play style and general comprehension/attention to detail is great for this kind of game. Plus you can't get the BB cam anywhere else! 😂 10/10
I've really enjoyed watching this series! I first heard about the game from a friend, then I saw Sean's vid on it and yours, and I got it immediately. You're so much braver than me lol, I've just now made it to Twisted Strand and I'm playing it soo slow because the night terrifies me! I love how it gets late and you're just like YOLO and go for it lol. I've also learned so many things from watching you play, like the spyglass and how the little boxes show up on your boat as you're collecting things. I'm not finished yet but it's quickly become one of my favorite games! So spoopy. Thanks for doing this series!
Evelyn, thank you for posting these play throughs. I found out yesterday that someone I admired a lot took her own life last week. I had never met her in person but I’ve followed her on Instagram for years and she was so kind and sweet. I’ve been pretty distraught and watching you play this game has helped me to try not to dwell on it too much.
I personally didn't know her but I follow a lot of animal rescue and that day my feed was flooded with messages of people remembering her. Seeing the impact she had in the community and reading about her story I found myself crying for someone I didn't know existed 10 minutes ago. She was an amazing person and she'll be remembered. I wish you all the best, take care of yourself, the people in the animal rescue community are all about taking care of the most vulnerable lives but we can often forget about taking care of ourselves ❤️
This is the game that meant I found your channel 😊I love how you take your time with the story stuff and get really emersed but also your love of the cute stuff. Definitely coming back for more cute-horror story games :D
Had the worst day yesterday as I am dealing with thrips (the worst plant pest) and spent 9am-10pm treating them. Then when I came on CZcams before going to be I saw you posted another episode of dredge and oh boy it made my day! This is my favorite play through of any game you've done, just something so special about it. Thank you for making my day better ❤️
I love watching playthroughs but I don’t typically play much myself. About 5 mins into watching you play this game, I HAD to get it! I finished it over the weekend and I loved it so much. I love that it’s as comfy or creepy as you want it to be, and I didn’t want the game (or this series) to end!
Pretty much been watching this my whole day with breaks here and there, might last me another day. "I got a boat full of crabs here..." My nostalgia meter just broke hearing that.
This was such a coooool game. Awesome vibes, and as short as they were, I loved the two endings. For our strange eldritch fisherman, perhaps being eaten by a beast of the sea was completing a circle. And for the other ending, he got what he wanted. And I have a feeling he knew what the consequences of that would be. I wonder what more can be done with the fake-out wreck creatures, the panic rocks, and what other spooky devices the… fish altars? have to offer- like the one that gave the Maw of the Deep in exchange for crabs.
The shed at the Blackstone house is unlocked by the DLC for the Deluxe Edition, the "Blackstone Key". Inside is an Eldritch engine and a single square token whose effects I haven't yet discovered. I imagine it raises the rate of catching special fish.
Honestly the twist is pretty easy to figure out mid way through the game, I thought the collector looked like a "clean up" version of the fisherman we saw crash under the lighthouse. People even mentioned that the last fisherman crashed there... I was suspecting it full blown after the scientist with her notes from her sister. That told me that the messages in the bottles were from someone the main character knew intimately but he didn't remember being in the area before the game and the messages didn't mention siblings so I concluded he was the husband, especially considering that he was also a fisherman and dredger. You don't just get dredging equipment and magically know how to use it. After that it's a pretty common cliche of eldritch horror for the main character to inflict amnesia on themselves to forget the horrors and become sane once more. but even then there are sooooo many more clues. the wrecked copy of your ship, how only people new to the area introduce themselves except the mayor who is obviously just manipulating the amnesiac XD bastard literally sells you your own ship after it's fixed, the mentions that no one lives in that mansion, no one sends supplies there and hasn't in years.
I watched you play the demo and now the end of this game and I'm really sad to see this series end but I have to say your commentary and willingness aswell as enjoyment to do all the tasks really made this series special to me I never once used it as background noise because you were always doing something I had to watch😂 I'm definitely gonna be rewatching this in the future and if there is more to the game I hope you come back to play it , Thank you this was a wonderful journey we had on our little boat❤
Ngl this was one of my all time favorite "let's play"s ever. Captivating start to finish. Perfect combo of new adventure horror, and a streamer with a very soft and calming energy. Definitely the most relaxed I've ever been watching a horror series. 😂
Finally got around to watching the ending. I've been watching this series in-between working on my finals. Can't believe I'm almost a junior in college. Thanks Gab and chat for being so awesome so playing even more awesome games
I can't even find words I have never been so invested in a game and the way I got chills when you spoke to the light house worker in the middle was just... ugh dude I'm obsessed with this game.
Thank you so much for completing the full playthrough Gab, you're so sweet...I really enjoyed this game, I love the fishing part and the secret monsters lurking in the abyss...The soundtrack is so lovely to hear, it's both determined and melancholic...So thank you again for playing this Gab...
I can't help it, but the music, the creatures, the characters... Dredge gives me strong Scarlet Hollow vibes... I do love both games, they are different, yet somewhat similar.
Subscribed. This has been a delightful series. Dredge itself is chill and relaxing. Though, I like that you listen to comments, not just in your stream but also from CZcams. That and writing notes has made for a frustration free and more put together experience. It's a breath of fresh air from other youtubers who just wing it. And it avoids the common but understandable pain point of viewers noticing something that the lets player overlooks because they(again understandably) have to play and talk. Thanks for the videos!

I'm actually a bit sad to see this series go! This is a great game between its tense Lovecraftian horror and just chill fishing and boat upgrade routine. Glad to have been along for the ride!
Ah man this was a beautiful game through and through. The "good" ending made sense, but you can't help but feel that yeah, there might have been some hope for the fisherman after coming to terms with his loss? Not all sure what to take away from that, but damn I've got emotions.

Old Mayor: drops one of the biggest spookiest lore drops of the game. Gab literally 2 seconds after: ✨look as the Twesaa✨
I know, I love her playthroughs, but I feel like she speeds through the text a lot and misses a lot of lore and explanations.
@@darkheartchick yeah, sometimes she doesn’t process what she reads haha but it must be hard to piece the story together while streaming
@@Candy-md1uk that’s what I was thinking too. I watch her because she actually wants to learn the story of it, the other 2 people I watched just sped through their first episodes and didn’t read anything then got mad they couldn’t figure out what to do 🤣🤣

What was the lore?
this has been a huge comfort series for me. the art style of this game is stunning, and i love her play throughs so much 🥺
I like to think of the Leviathan (the big guy who eats you in the good ending) as kind of the ocean protector. In the bad ending, you summon Cthulhu and something that used to be your wife at the cost of the world. In the good ending you make the choice to spare the world, and the Leviathan eats you - the one with the knowledge of where the book is and how to use it - to make sure the world stays spared.
I also liked encountering the Leviathan just swimming around the map while playing. It never attacked - though I know it does if you sail out of bounds.
Thanks for the spoiler warning...
note to self : Watch the video first before diving into the comments.
The "Leviathan" also will randomly encircle your boat then attack you if you're at max paranoia if you're far enough out in any patch of open water even within bounds of the map, and you can use "banish" on it in that case. There's also a similar kill with a giant tentacle that comes out of the water and smacks you, a shark about the same size as the boat-anglerfish that charges you, and a swarm of either flying fish or birds that attacks your boat, though I've only seen that last one once.
I wanna try to do a "no sleeping" run after the godawful amount of time I spent trying to randomly roll research parts for the research tree achievements.
@@zilentecho3954 No, they don’t need to put a spoiler warning in their comment. Passive aggressive remarks like yours could just make this person feel bad for making a completely normal comment.
The comments are for replying to the video’s content. You shouldn’t ever read comments before watching the entire thing if you’re concerned about finding out what happens at the end of a video. Take that advice wherever you go on CZcams. Including trailers to movies that others may have already watched since people will go back to trailers to talk about the movie.
@@Seal_pup I apologize for my demeanor and If I've offended anyone. You're right, it's my fault to begin with. Thank you for your insight as well.
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa2004 that’s true! Though the Leviathan is the only one of those things you encounter when not paranoid, as well, which sets it apart from the rest. It seems to be separate from the creatures influenced by the Cthulhu monster.
Actually Gab, what you’re hearing aren’t eagles but hawks! Eagles have quiet cries in reality. In medias such as movies, programs, and video games, the eagle’s cry is replaced with a hawk’s cry. (The same way the “lion” roars in the Lion King are actually tiger roars!) The more you know! 💫
The lion roars were WHAT?! 😳
dang, i always thought the lions were just loud cause 9 times out of 10, they lose to tigers, turns out, tigers are better in every way.
I live in an area full of bald eagles. Can you come tell them to be quiet! lol 😊
Pretty sure it's an Eagle 💀
From one from eagle country, I don't know of a single person who'd give a single fuck. Just sayin', to all the try hards...
It's cool that when we first meet the curator we see him in a window. Really brought everything together.
I would have liked to learn more about the mysterious packages sent between the mayor and the dock worker, myself, but maybe not knowing is better. I'm sure it's more of a nod to Lovecraft's stories.
Same, there were a lot of (generally small) questions i had about the world and lore. Really hope the devs expand on the game in the future.
I can imagine in the bad ending, the fisherman is thinking "I'm tired. And I miss her. I don't care anymore, I want to see her again."
Watching BB just stare at Gab and chew on her earbuds is the serotonin i need for the day
Gods, this game is just so powerful. Dredging up the past, how it can drive you insane, the choices to move on and their difficulty, coping with loss and the life of sailors and their families. Losing someone to the sea and having no one to blame but the ocean, but that ocean is your life, and if you blame it, you live in fear and isolation. Ah its just so damn good and relatable for someone like me who grew up around fishers, sailors, navy, and the balance of taking from the sea but not growing so ready that she takes back or takes you. Gods this game, it had me crying and enjoying!
The way they make you stay within the map is great too in this game as that same leviathan that kills you in the good ending starts hunting you. Fun fact. The leviathan is probably a good creature as it's the only big monster type that isn't 'weird' looking. The others all have a purple glow.
But ngl story wise I may prefer the bad ending. As its so bittersweet.
i also prefer the bad ending, it feels more fulfilling
@miles It's really bittersweet I like that too.
Bad ending does nothing to let you understand wth is going on though :)
Both endings are a bit too abrupt imo.
@@NahidFrolloBy the ending you're meant to have pieced most of the story together, the ending is just the last period in the conclusion, the final act is everything you learn from Devil's Spine. And I think it would be a lot worse if both endings revealed the same information as each other, that's too clean for an eldritch horror.
I love when Gab said "It's Dredgin' Time" right off the bat, such a great line for a great youtuber, bravo.

Ahh I've been waiting for this! Can't believe it's ending already 😭 Really enjoyed the playthrough!
So there are still couple things I do not understand. The first one being that black goo that basically zombified that Dockworker. None of these creatures in the endings or the beasts/ bosses of each area really have a black goo to them so why is it a thing? Can you continue to talk to him through him after some time? He is constantly looking at the bottom of the sea so I would assume it is something for the endings.
Are we the Old Fisherman? When you ask the Mayor about the fisherman before us who owned the boat, he talks likes he hates him. The old Fisherman was lazy, he would sleep all day and then be put all night and says that he is untrustworthy. Was that us when we found the book? When we lost our wife?
There is four characters that know about the truth: the Lighthouse Keeper, the Old Mayor, the Collector, and our Wife.
Part of me is fairly convinced that these gaps and ambiguities are completely deliberate.
If all loose ends are neatly tied up in a story, the whole sense of mystery and unease just evaporates.
I played through this game before starting any of Gab's streams (damn, the first one was hard to not watch, as the game hadn't even been released at the time). Then started watching Gab's playthrough while doing another run myself.
And in all three cases, the interpretation of the story is rather different.
This, to me, is far more satisfying than a 'more satisfying' conclusion. If you see what I mean. 🤔
@@Varksterable true and I am glad you found enjoyment in this game to the point of playing along side Gabs and/ or trying to get ahead of her. I know a lot of us do this whenever she does a new game series. I also feel like when it come to Lovecraftian games, there are things are never answered as it keep the mystery alive and sense of wonder for this type of genre
@@gregputnam7243 It was more a case of not wanting to see any spoilers until I'd played it through myself.
I've got halfway through this stream, and something significant has just happened in it that makes me seriously question if I should finish watching it, or return once I've explored a little more for myself in the game.
I has been great watching Gab play this amazing game. And she is much more insightful, capable and quick to catch on than I am. But there are some things I'd much rather see for myself the first time.
A great example of this is the attack of the Kraken thing in Stellar Basin. That's something you can't fully appreciate unless you are controlling the boat, and you don't know about it in advance. 🛥🦑🦑🦑🦑
@@Varksterable ahh yes the tentacle attack is definitely a step up from the shark disguised as a boat that you only see at night
You’re right. I would have liked to learn more about that and what happened with the Fishermonger after eating the aberration fish
3 and a half hour video? I’m seated!
Same!
literally did a double take case i thought it was just an hour and saw your comment and now i’m so excited
I said exactly that out loud and then saw your comment 😂
Got the popcorn?
Same! Baby just fell asleep and I'm here f
I love how the box changed colors mid video. I know she explained the boxes on a BOTW video but still cool to see it CHANGE
Why did it change color?
@@essandera9499 purple box is twitch and red is recorded offline for CZcams
@@DJwEYEred That is a super neat/cute detail.
I love the subtle but effective editing on these videos. The editor even adds fun effects.
Oh my gosh it's Dredge! I so appreciate your playstyle gab! Especially when it comes to games like these!
In celebration of this final episode, have my favourite nautical joke:
"What's a pirate's favourite letter?"
"R?"
"No, a Pirate's first love is the C."
That's so bad 💀
😹😹😹
I am outrageously sad to see this is the end, it was becoming a comfort game and I thought it would be much longer!
If you want to open the workshop, you would need to buy the deluxe edition to get the key. Inside the workshop, there is a fishing talisman and an engine. The talisman increases the chances of aberrant fish, and the engine increases speed when if your sanity is high (that's what some people think it means when the description says, "its heart beats at the same time with yours.")
then wouldnt it increase speed when your sanity is low, meaning more panicked??
@Taylor L. yes, I think. The more panicked you are, the more speed the engine produces.
2:25:45 bad ending 2:34:21 good ending for those who want to see the reaction
I felt that soft tap that damaged your boat at 3:20:02. Same exact thing happened to me during my playthrough. Absolute b u l l s h i t !! lmao
3:17:38 that was the roar of the leviathan. The monster that swallowed you in one of the ending scenes. You can see him much better when you travel past the edge of the map. It is an enormous creature. Definitely worth seeing. 😮
This was such a great playthough. Thank you gab for playing and uploading!
Just a suggestion if you end up deciding to get the rest of the fish later. You could probably cheese the system by docking with the merchant by the jellyfish. Sleep during the day, then fish for jelly’s at night, then by time you dock next morning you might be able to buy another research part like how the explosives would regenerate the next morning. That way it kills 2 birds with one stone. 😊
Using the atrophy perk is a great way to get aberrations too
@@twistedspike69 Better yet, use it in combination with bait. Equipping the hook from the Cod Shrine helps boost the odds too.
The collector, dramactally "make haste! we have precious cargo, with luck the seas won't now about our intentions, quickly!"
Gab" *horn, horn* I'M GOING TO SAVE YOU!!!
oh, how fondly (and loud) I laughed! only gab. 😂❤
Nooo, this can't be the end :( I was just making this series my comfort serie and was prepared on at least a few more episodes, sad to see it go so soon
Me too tbh
Cat cam...adds another subtle degree of calm. Nice.
You should see her on stream. The amount of BB time is so precious ^^
his cameo was a nice surprise
I wonder if the cat wonders why she talks to herself so much?
You know it's a good game when I can watch your entire playthrough, see all the endings, and still go out and buy it to play for myself. Wonderful series on this one, I can't wait to see what these devs come up with next (and hopefully watch you play DLC!) :D
Just finished the game myself yesterday. 🎉 Both endings..🦑🌊⛵ Your playthrough is why i had to get the game for myself. What a pleasant surprise to have your video to watch now. Also at the beginning I got bumped by The Angler and lost The Builder overboard. RIP. 😅
Yeah taking damage and losing a character from inventory is extremely annoying. Just like how the game robbed Gab of the Coelacanth.
I could have quit and restarted but I didn't find out that until I had made too much progress. So that's a bummer. Also I sold the Bronze Belt Buckle like a dummy, instead of returning it to the Grieving Father. Whoops again.
@@Meadows_Brook_Brambles Sounds like a run of bad luck for you. *moment of silence* for the Builder and Father
@@BludLustStudios Indeed 🙃😞
@Meadow's Brook & Brambles When a bit of bad luck like that happened to me for the first time, I deliberately rammed my boat into nearby rocks in frustration.
And sank, of course.
But only to be reset to the latest save, just a minute or so back.
It's now a mandatory tactic when I accidently crash and lose something. (Which I seem to do a heck of a lot more than Captain Gab does..)
I live in California and the areas with the orange sky gave me flashbacks to when the Bay Area actually looked like that. At one point in 2020, wildfires were so bad and there was so much smoke in the atmosphere that it distorted the light and turned the sky that same orange. It was so unnatural that you couldn't take an accurate picture on your phone because it would try to color correct it. It really looked and felt like the apocalypse, so the game using that imagery for the Lovecraftian Horror areas was a great addition to the atmosphere.
On lockdown looking out my window into a hellscape everyday... good times good times
The research parts dry up at the end, the easiest way to fill the research tree when this happens is to go to a traveling merchant pontoon then keep save and quitting then continuing to see if she has one. Its random when it happens but its usually between 6 and 10 times, its honestly the fastest way.
girl you have no idea how much I needed this - I'm stressed out to words that would get this video demonetized so thank you for the ounce of joy love you beebs and your content always
You got it :) I believe in you.
Okay so here is my silly little interpretation of the story that’s most likely wrong
Spoilers ahead!
Okay so the main character is the husband described in the notes we find in the bottles, I have no clue how but somehow either him or his wife may have messed with some eldritch horror. Whatever took her caused that red book to appear and for a part of the main character to split off as a semi-self aware person who remembers the incident and knows enough to understand getting all of the relics would bring her back.
The aberrations I think are caused by some sort of curse that comes from the red book just being out of the ocean, after the good ending the fog is lifted, the sky clears, and the sea calms. The book being handled may also cause the weird aberrant fish. Then there is what happens to someone who eats the aberrant fish, I think one of two things happen, the first idea I have is they get deathly ill and die for a couple of seconds and revive, but they come back different possibly possessed by the eldritch horror maybe?
The fishmonger said something about a rumor, one where eating the aberrant fish grants immortality, but at the cost of not being in control of yourself possibly.
Think of the sick dock worker, whatever package we gave to him leaked the same substance that was leaking from his mouth and ears. He was getting aggravated by our presence when we asked if he was alright. Maybe consuming the aberrant fish makes said person ill, maybe they don’t end up controlled by the eldritch horror but rather they see our character in a different light. Maybe they see us and remember something that we have long forgotten?
The scientist that we meet says her sister was dead yet she finds those bottled messages in her handwriting, this may hint to some sort of time distortion that occurred upon her death, maybe some part of her exists outside her body like how the collector exists outside our main character. The scientist may actually be our sister in law but we don’t remember her and she may not really remember us.
As far as the town goes I think we keep returning there in some sort of time loop or something like that. Maybe we keep dying, but come back every time with no memory. Maybe the town forgets us too to a certain extent, except the lighthouse keeper seems to remember. But how long have we been in this loop? How many times have we failed only to come back again?
I do have a small theory that the lighthouse keeper may have been a part of our dead wife that split of during the incident trying to have us let go so both she and the main character can finally rest peacefully.
Anyways I may be wrong and totally off the mark but if anyone has any ideas, criticism, or suggestions to add or alter this theory, feel free to add.
in one of the notes it says that in the boat renaming ceremony they were supposed to throw out everything with the old boats name but the wife kept a keychain with the old name on it- i think that sabotaged the ceremony and caused everything to be fucked up
that is so nicely explained, good theory!
Here's a recap of how the whole thing panned out:
Happy newlywed couple goes on a boat tour of a bunch of nice islands for their honeymoon (guy is a fisherman).
Guy decides to be romantic and rename the boat with his wife's name but the ceremony must be done right or else it will bring "bad luck", however the wife doesn't really believe in that and fucks up by secretely keeping an item with the boat's old name.
During a trip they have some first bad luck with part of their stuff falling into the water, so the husband sets up some "dredging equipment" and the couple gets into dredging stuff up from the depths looking for treasure.
They dredge an old locked chest, open it, husband gets cursed (void in his eyes) while the wife starts getting chills and feeling bad: the chest was sealing an evil summoning book (think Necronomicon but related to sea monsters), a mysterious fog starts showing up everywhere.
Leviathan (giant huge ass fish) destroys their ship possibly to try stopping the book from being read, wife drowns and is cursed under the ocean.
Husband washes ashore alive, still holding the book but having lost everything and mourning his wife.
The void takes shape as the "Collector", an alternate persona that erases his memories to ease him out of the pain.
Time passes, meanwhile all sort of shit happens in the bay, monsters and krakens and the fog covers everything.
Enter the "fisherman", which is actually the husband with memory loss, who gets employed by the Collector (his own cursed counterpart) to gather all the past relics of his wife to perform a resurrection ritual with the book.
The wife is actually still cursed at the bottom of the sea, and can only communicate with the surface by sending some bottled messages we can find, hoping for the fisherman to throw the damn book away.
The ritual works, wife is released from the sea, but the old god responsible for all the aberrations and monsters tags along.
Or, alternatively, the fisherman(husband) does the right thing, let go of his grief, throws the cursed book back where it belongs, and then the Leviathan eats both so that no trace (cursed book and cursed owner) remain around.
People are missing that the main character was deliberately messing with the occult in the first place. The specifics of the renaming ceremony wasn't just to prevent "bad luck", it was an excuse for the wife to be oblivious to the fact the ceremony had very real magical purpose. But by not telling her, she messed it up accidentally believing it to just be silly superstition instead of life and death.
He gets her killed, and in spite of having the power of the book that he wanted, he was now empty without her. The curse was caused by him. The Collector isn't just a manifestation, it's the curse he put on himself to make him forget about his own painful memories for long enough to hunt what he needed to resurrect her. In other words, who he was 20 odd years before, someone who was captivated by the occult so much he gave up his job as a fisherman in search of power. In a way the Collector is the protag confronting himself as the spell wears off in a delusional way, not a completely seperate entity.
Slightly spoilery, but I LOVED the bad ending. It's genuinely terrifying, makes you think Oh No what have I done? That what came out of the ocean gave me the proper chills. Dunno how I feel about the good ending tho. It's kinda the same as most horror good endings in which you don't feel it's good at all.
Imagine being on that dock at the very end and watching that little boat barreling straight toward you at 175MPH
Seeing your playthrough after mine allowed me to see the intro scene more fully. You can actually see the glasses and the book next to your character and the first encounter was in the reflection of the boat's window. It was in front of us the whole time and I love that kind of stuff.
1:33:56
"Sean said that he would record horror today and i just heard a looong scream"
There is a moment in the 1st video that made me go "Wait, how the heck did the Collector actually get to Greater Marrow? Like, on what boat?" because I started watching Gab's videos before geting the "good" ending myself. Love it when things like that actually mean something rather than just being an oversight 😂❤
This game wasn’t anywhere near scary enough in my opinion, but I still loved it all the same. Both endings broke my heart x
As someone with thalassophobia, it was plenty enough lol
Yep, great game, bought it for my Switch and am ready to fish.
Thank you for playing this game, which let me know of it's existence, and now I'll silently hope they add more islands and fish to the game (as updates or even DLC) before going to the next one.
This video is a light in a dark for me right now. I'm in a bad place in my life, about to be homeless, but seeing you, Evelyn and Bibi and your hugs and this lovely game just gave me so much emotional relief and coziness and all the good feels that I needed. Thank you so much
Hey stranger friend, I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. Just wanted you to know that I see you and I’m wishing you better days and help from unexpected sources ❤
I was so emersed in this episode I forgot to eat my dinner that was right next to me haha
I ended up watching your entire series and was excited for each new video - I may have to get this game for myself lol.
This has been one of my favorite series from Gabby. I've watched as much as her Nancy games and HOGs. I'm now determined to play it myself. Thank you, Gabby!
What does HOG stand for? This is the first series of hers I've watched, and would like to see this series afterwards, if it's as good as this is!
When I heard that you had an additional recording session to finish out this game, I came here and checked it out. Thank you for fulfilling my itch to see everything.
I get that people find it cute and I do too to a certain degree but this game genuinely wells up terror from the base of my spine like none else and I don't knwo what it was. That first ending make my stomach turn. What an amazing wee game
I'm very disappointed that none of the crabs have aberrations just because I wanted to be able to say "craberration" 😔
Dang.
They do now, as of a later update. :-)
@@sharondornhoff7563 yippee!
Ending already?! Nooooooo. Seriously though this was a great playthrough Captain Gab, wish it was a longer game!
These dredge play throughs have been so comfy and relaxing to watch!!
BB cam heals me on a spiritual level
I love all your playthroughs, but this one was something special. You kept me sane on a VERY long trip with these, and I want you to know how much you're appreciated
I'm glad this series is doing so well on your Channel. Thank you.
Oh shoot! Didn't realize this was such a short game. Sad it's over, but also a great series to revisit and fall asleep to. Best chill vibes
The commitment to completionism is unreal. No joke - even if it's not 100%, the amount of time spent on the quests and hours fishing is real commitment! I love this game
This game has so much expansion and DLC potential. With map new areas, missions and fish.
The leviathan is still out there and all kinds of stories could be developed that coukd follow on.
I REALLY HOPE they extend this and deliver a Dredge II game.
I'm usually not a fan of games that involves any fishing mechanic, but this one was an exception. They've mixed a lot of things in here, without detracting from its main premise. Plus, you're guaranteed a catch, once you move towards a particular spot in the waters. It encourages the collector in you, while exploring these islands that're rich with Eldritch lore. I'll miss this series.
what an amazing game tho i will say kinda wish they leaned a bit more into horror stuff at times like rewarding you in someway for going insane maybe more scary fish which is worth more a reason to be up late and so on.
and ofc maybe just more visual stuff like a giant eye starring at you from underneath the ocean at night stuff like that just random encounters here and there that makes you nervous.
Ooo that would’ve been nicee to watch
Wasn’t expecting it to be just three streams! But I mean.. they are all around 2-3 hours.. sad to see this is the end! Oh well, can rewatch it every few years like with Jacks The Last Guardian series
omg this is the earliest ive been! love the game, Ive been waiting for it to fully come out so I could watch you play it
I was hoping they'd add a refrigerator tech so that fishies can stays at least longer. Or option to cured fish.
I've been loving Dredge so far, this playthrough has got me through a rough study week- thanks for playing!!
I too spent a long time after that aberrant aurora jellyfish and I finally got it when I trawled around the OUTSIDE of the basin islands instead of around the interior. Almost immediately too once I went outside the islands. Not sure if it's an actual technique or just blind luck tho.
I knew it! I had thought a few times the birds sound like birds I hear in Australia. The credits said New Zealand, there's lot of birds shared between both countries of course - especially birds around water. I feel validated haha
Great ending to a great game! ALSO! So close to 1 MILLION SUBS on youtube!!! Congratulations! So excited to see your channel continue to grow! I have been watching since around 400k and it has been awesome to see the cool things you have done over the years. Congrats again!!
This game was so much fun, your playthrough inspired me to get it myself a few days ago! Already finished it aswell and absolutly loved it XD Thank you for playing this Gab!
I can’t believe this ended so fast! I really hope they add a story dlc down the road with new areas, mini fish boss’s and bigger boats! It would be epic! Thanks for playing this gab!
Hi, Gab. A bough (pronounced /bau/) is a main branch of a tree. Its homonym bow has several meanings including: to quit a competition, to bend the body in an act of submission or reverence, to acknowledge applause, or debut.
. . : *sad toot toot* : . . I'm sorry to see you wrap up Dredge, but all good things must come to an end. . . for more good things ahead, of course. Very much enjoyed your playthrough! As always, looking forward to more of your content
Watched several people's playthroughs of Dredge, and Gab's is by far the best. Her play style and general comprehension/attention to detail is great for this kind of game. Plus you can't get the BB cam anywhere else! 😂 10/10
These super long videos got me thru midterm week! thank you
Every time I enter twisted I have monsters on me instantly, watch CZcamsrs stroll in no problem
I’ve never seen anyone that suits a game so much in my life 😂
I've really enjoyed watching this series! I first heard about the game from a friend, then I saw Sean's vid on it and yours, and I got it immediately. You're so much braver than me lol, I've just now made it to Twisted Strand and I'm playing it soo slow because the night terrifies me! I love how it gets late and you're just like YOLO and go for it lol. I've also learned so many things from watching you play, like the spyglass and how the little boxes show up on your boat as you're collecting things. I'm not finished yet but it's quickly become one of my favorite games! So spoopy. Thanks for doing this series!
Evelyn, thank you for posting these play throughs. I found out yesterday that someone I admired a lot took her own life last week. I had never met her in person but I’ve followed her on Instagram for years and she was so kind and sweet. I’ve been pretty distraught and watching you play this game has helped me to try not to dwell on it too much.
Same here. I know there's a lot of people on Instagram but it sounds similar are you talking about the passing of Ashley Morrison?
I hope you feel better ❤️🩹. That’s sad.
@@isabellefecteau1138 Yes, that’s who I’m talking about.
I personally didn't know her but I follow a lot of animal rescue and that day my feed was flooded with messages of people remembering her. Seeing the impact she had in the community and reading about her story I found myself crying for someone I didn't know existed 10 minutes ago. She was an amazing person and she'll be remembered. I wish you all the best, take care of yourself, the people in the animal rescue community are all about taking care of the most vulnerable lives but we can often forget about taking care of ourselves ❤️
Painting at night hours tend to get a little too quiet at times. This was the perfect companion. I’ll miss it
This is the game that meant I found your channel 😊I love how you take your time with the story stuff and get really emersed but also your love of the cute stuff. Definitely coming back for more cute-horror story games :D
Had the worst day yesterday as I am dealing with thrips (the worst plant pest) and spent 9am-10pm treating them. Then when I came on CZcams before going to be I saw you posted another episode of dredge and oh boy it made my day! This is my favorite play through of any game you've done, just something so special about it. Thank you for making my day better ❤️
i love how BB is looking up like "mother give me attention" at 30:03 such an adorable kitty
i also absolutley love the BB cam
Such a relaxing but also exciting game. Thank you so much for playing it! I love your calming, sweet and funny gameplays and the catcamera :3
This was such a good play through to keep my company during studying, sad to see it go
:( Thank you for such a good series
Do you take suggestions here? I’d love to see you play _Do Not Feed The Monkeys_ .
I love watching playthroughs but I don’t typically play much myself. About 5 mins into watching you play this game, I HAD to get it! I finished it over the weekend and I loved it so much. I love that it’s as comfy or creepy as you want it to be, and I didn’t want the game (or this series) to end!
Pretty much been watching this my whole day with breaks here and there, might last me another day.
"I got a boat full of crabs here..." My nostalgia meter just broke hearing that.
I love the fact that she did everything in the game. That was so satisfying to watch. Thanks for the awsome Lets Play! :)
This was such a coooool game. Awesome vibes, and as short as they were, I loved the two endings. For our strange eldritch fisherman, perhaps being eaten by a beast of the sea was completing a circle. And for the other ending, he got what he wanted. And I have a feeling he knew what the consequences of that would be.
I wonder what more can be done with the fake-out wreck creatures, the panic rocks, and what other spooky devices the… fish altars? have to offer- like the one that gave the Maw of the Deep in exchange for crabs.
The shed at the Blackstone house is unlocked by the DLC for the Deluxe Edition, the "Blackstone Key". Inside is an Eldritch engine and a single square token whose effects I haven't yet discovered. I imagine it raises the rate of catching special fish.
"My prized possession taken away from me cuz I'm bad at parking!" The injustice of this really hurts
This was such a gem and my GOTY so far. Also can I just say, I always feel so comfy and welcome watching your streams and videos ❤
Honestly the twist is pretty easy to figure out mid way through the game, I thought the collector looked like a "clean up" version of the fisherman we saw crash under the lighthouse. People even mentioned that the last fisherman crashed there... I was suspecting it full blown after the scientist with her notes from her sister.
That told me that the messages in the bottles were from someone the main character knew intimately but he didn't remember being in the area before the game and the messages didn't mention siblings so I concluded he was the husband, especially considering that he was also a fisherman and dredger. You don't just get dredging equipment and magically know how to use it.
After that it's a pretty common cliche of eldritch horror for the main character to inflict amnesia on themselves to forget the horrors and become sane once more.
but even then there are sooooo many more clues. the wrecked copy of your ship, how only people new to the area introduce themselves except the mayor who is obviously just manipulating the amnesiac XD bastard literally sells you your own ship after it's fixed, the mentions that no one lives in that mansion, no one sends supplies there and hasn't in years.
I watched you play the demo and now the end of this game and I'm really sad to see this series end but I have to say your commentary and willingness aswell as enjoyment to do all the tasks really made this series special to me I never once used it as background noise because you were always doing something I had to watch😂 I'm definitely gonna be rewatching this in the future and if there is more to the game I hope you come back to play it , Thank you this was a wonderful journey we had on our little boat❤
Ngl this was one of my all time favorite "let's play"s ever. Captivating start to finish. Perfect combo of new adventure horror, and a streamer with a very soft and calming energy. Definitely the most relaxed I've ever been watching a horror series. 😂
I've been binge watching this mini-series all weekend, so I'm super glad to have new dredge to watch :))
This game looks so fun! Locked in for a 3+ hour adventure.
Finally got around to watching the ending. I've been watching this series in-between working on my finals. Can't believe I'm almost a junior in college. Thanks Gab and chat for being so awesome so playing even more awesome games
So im a fan of both you and Sean, and im really happy you got to play the whole game, I want to see Sean upload his play through. I hope you liked it
I can't even find words I have never been so invested in a game and the way I got chills when you spoke to the light house worker in the middle was just... ugh dude I'm obsessed with this game.
My jaw DROPPED at the coelacanth part
Thank you so much for completing the full playthrough Gab, you're so sweet...I really enjoyed this game, I love the fishing part and the secret monsters lurking in the abyss...The soundtrack is so lovely to hear, it's both determined and melancholic...So thank you again for playing this Gab...
I can't help it, but the music, the creatures, the characters... Dredge gives me strong Scarlet Hollow vibes... I do love both games, they are different, yet somewhat similar.
Subscribed. This has been a delightful series. Dredge itself is chill and relaxing. Though, I like that you listen to comments, not just in your stream but also from CZcams. That and writing notes has made for a frustration free and more put together experience. It's a breath of fresh air from other youtubers who just wing it. And it avoids the common but understandable pain point of viewers noticing something that the lets player overlooks because they(again understandably) have to play and talk.
Thanks for the videos!
