Having had the pleasure of reviewing Black Salt Games’ recent Lovecraftian fishing title DREDGE for Complete Xbox I was ready to pounce at the idea to talk to some of the amazing creatives behind the project.
On March 23rd, 2023 I had the chance to sit down with Alex Ritchie and Mikey Bastiaens, two of the developers of DREDGE to talk all about the title in a completely spoiler-free manner in the lead-up to its full release on March 30th, 2023. As I wrote in my review, DREDGE‘s fishing mechanics are just a small part of the overall game on display here with so much world-building and narrative brilliance to explore you never really feel like you’re getting fully settled with the title.
In the full interview, I wanted to explore all of what DREDGE had to offer from its amazing visual art style, its world design and of course its narrative. You can check out the full interview below on both YouTube and other streaming platforms including Spotify, Amazon Music, Samsung, Podchaser, JioSaavn, and Deezer.
If you’d like to check out more of my work you can follow me on Twitter and why not take a look at my YouTube channel to keep up to date with every new episode? I’d love to hear your thoughts on DREDGE as it has been amazing to finally talk about it with so many people after its release.
