Another day, another free game on the Epic Games Store. Today’s free game is Dredge, the 2023 indie horror game where you captain a fishing trawler.
The indie game was one of our favorite games of 2023. We love how Dredge is relaxing yet tense, with its unsettling yet inviting atmosphere setting the stage for what’s to come. Combined with its Lovecraft-inspired story and immersive environment, it’s easy to get lost in the horrors that await.
