Epic Games Store Offers Free Horror Fishing Game, Dredge

The Epic Games Store is giving away the award-winning horror fishing game, Dredge, for free until December 25th at 10 AM CST. Released in 2023, Dredge received critical acclaim, notably winning IGN's Best Indie Game Award.

This free offering is part of the Epic Games Store's ongoing mystery game promotion. Previous giveaways included titles like The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, Vampire Survivors, and Astrea: Six-Sided Oracle. Dredge is the seventh game in this year's lineup.

Dredge's compelling story, atmosphere, and sound design have garnered praise. While a relatively short game (most players finish within 10 hours), two paid DLC expansions—The Iron Rig and The Pale Reach—offer extended gameplay for those seeking more. These DLCs are available for purchase at a discounted price on the Epic Games Store.

A Dredge movie is also in development, hinting at continued expansion of the franchise. This free Epic Games Store offer provides a perfect opportunity to experience the game before its cinematic adaptation.

  • The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria (December 12-19)
