Dredge

Dredge is a 2023 video game developed by Black Salt Games and published by Team17 that combines genres of fishing, survival, and horror. It follows a fisherman who faces Lovecraftian creatures as he fishes and explores an open world consisting of five archipelagos. As the game progresses, the player can upgrade the character's fishing equipment and abilities. It follows a day–night cycle; the day is serene, while the night contains the game's horror elements, such as supernatural events and sea monsters. Black Salt Games conceived Dredge as a top-down turn-based game; that notion was scrapped during the prototype phase.
