Discussion What’s the game like ? How much of horror, creepy, mysterious, supernatural is in the game ?

22 Upvotes

Hello ladies and gents. Exactly as the title states. I was thinking about downloading the game and seeing what it’s about because in different ways shapes and forms, I love stuff about the sea, ocean, what kinda fish is there, the scenery, the beauty of it all. What I also love is the mysteries behind and lore because it adds creepiness to it. Thank you all for the kindness, patience, and understanding. God bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏

How to use the Stellar Basin Researchers prototype

5 Upvotes

I’m having some trouble using the prototype given to me by the researcher at Stellar Bay. I’ve installed it in my boat and activated the noise machine to fend off the big squid guy but whenever I head into the basin all of the areas with fish say that I don’t have the right equipment. What am I doing wrong??

Discussion I love this game but why do the Iron Rig fissure things look so low res?

7 Upvotes

I've completed the Iron Rig storyline so these things are now everywhere and a permanent feature all over the map. They're really bright and visible, and I sometimes wish they were a bit less of a harsh contrast to the world around them. And they feel really low resolution compared to the rest of the world. Anyone else find this?

Fanart The atmosphere in this game is unparalleled

39 Upvotes

I swear, it's such a simple game concept but the execution is perfect. When I pieced together all of Julie's letters I was docked at blackstone isle and reading them I got so immersed in the tragic story the entire game tells. I could almost feel exactly what Julie felt - The sadness as she watched her husband forget about her, the hope once she knows he is getting her posthumously written letters, to the acceptance and peace she feels when she writes her final note. Throw me back. I might just be being a bit dramatic as Julie reminds me significantly of someone I love, but it's been so long since a game has made me feel this way. Not even mentioning the amazing OST. I'd like to here you guys' thoughts too, or if i'm just crazy

Spoilers 230 Deep Form Issues

6 Upvotes

EDIT: It finally appeared. If you are also approaching 100 and think you're doing something, don't worry RNJesus just hates you at the moment. Try posting on Reddit about it and the game will give it to you within 15 minutes to make you look dumb.

I am just trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong because I am approaching 100 baits used with no Deep Form to show for it.

I have done every quest in the DLC and seen the scientist jump out the window. My only tackle equipped is the Infused Winch. I am using aberrated bait around the rig. I'm fishing and not using Atrocity. I'm still getting nothing. I started save scumming around bait 25.

Everything I see says people are getting this thing at the latest around bait 30. As I said, I'm pushing 100 baits and wondering if I'm doing it wrong.

The clock only moving when you do is perfect for letting the player just rest and take in the sounds and sights. I would lay on my bed and sleep to it sometimes.

I feel dumb. I did the “bad” ending and thought it was the only ending for months.

The punchline: I LIKED it. Now that I’ve gone back and played the “good” one… I like the doomy one better.

Question about Iron Rig fish encyclopedia

4 Upvotes

Hi!

I downloaded the combo pack that includes the Iron Rig and Pale Reach. It says there are 230 fish/abberations to catch and I caught 141 so far. I looked it up online and it says that when you do the Iron Rig you get more fish to catch in your encyclopedia after the sludge comes out or something. My question is, are the fish already in the encyclopedia but blacked out or do they appear after you trigger the Iron Rig section? I just wanted to know before doing it since I was trying to catch the rest first possibly before moving on. Thanks!

Below (2026) definitely gave me Dredge vibes! Pretty decent mini series!

So, (without giving any spoilers) the first episode I was like, "This is a combo of Dredge, The Thing, and a made-for-TV-movie. I was thinking, of course, Hollywood is jumping on the horror fishing bandwagon without giving some love to our beloved Dredge. But, it was fun, campy at times, and had a neat story.

Why is all her stuff big? (Julie was a giant?)

48 Upvotes

All the normal treasure is small comparatively. It's only the story treasure that's oversized in the cargo squares area. Was she twice as big as normal girls? They also all have purple background like the aberrations. I think there's something off about why they are all big and purple and maybe this is obvious to some or outta left field for other but I think Julie is sus. She's writing letters to people when she's supposed to dead too. Like I get a lot of people will say it's supposed to be a spooky reveal that she's dead but umm what if she's not? What if she's the Deep One?! Or part of him, or a disciple, but something connected to the big guy that is not human but shaped like one. That's why her stuff is all oversized and has that purple background associated with aberrations. That's why she can write letters from under the water. That's why she comes up along with the big dude. It was the plan all along bc he needed her to go seduce a fisherman (it just occurred to me that one missing maritime legend we haven't seen in Dredge is sirens and mermaids so I will be ending this post here and doing research for pt 2)

And that's why I'm not crazy you're crazy! [eyes bulging and twitching uncontrollably]

I just bought the 3 dlcs for dredge and is wondering how I get one of the fish for the scientists on the rig. I got the sea cucumber, the fish with the long nose and the fish that’s takes up 3 slots, how do you get that last bigger costal fish?
I’ve been to all of the oil spills and not one has shown up, is it a night time fish? I can’t seem to find it in the book either. Maybe I didn’t look in the right spots tho

Switch 2 and 60fps without dev kit possibility

0 Upvotes

I seen posts talking about the devs not having a SW2 dev-kit to make an upgrade version. As some people said "it play nice on switch 1 version" and its not, 30 fps on this game feels terrible. I seen that the game runs on 60 fps at base switch using a homebrew called fpslocker and a patch inside that, the game runs without any issues on a much lower powerful hardware. So if some random people can make the game run unofficial with few tweaks, why not the devs release a patch atleast to uncap the framerate to 60. Then they can do a proper switch 2 version with 4k res and all the rest when the dev kit arrives, but i'm always looking to buy the game and never complete the purchase because the demo running at 30 its TERRIBLE, feels like a power point when doing mini games and the input lag its insane. Graphics looks ok on handheld mode with boost but fps and input lag are blocking me to buy this game on switch 2
