Dredge and Tchia (Zero Punctuation)

I do really like the idea of the eldritch horrors not giving a fuck about you, and just being a problem by being in the area.

[@Tenacitybrit]

Thats kind of how eldritch/Lovecraftian horror is supposed to work: the monsters are more of an existent threat rather an immediately direct threat. That's the kind of horror I LOVE.

[@jasonblalock4429]

@@Tenacitybrit Exactly. Although that's also why it's so damn hard to translate Lovecraftian horror to visual mediums, because it's so easy to just end up with guys in goofy rubber costumes like any other monster movie. As an aside, you might want to watch the recent movie "Glorious," if you haven't. It has some flaws, mostly with the lead actor being a bit weak, but it's got a brilliant premise for a low-budget B-movie filmed in a single location: A guy recovering from a hangover at a rest stop finds himself trapped in the bathroom with an eldritch god hiding in one of the stalls. And the god is played by JK Simmons, who pretty much carries the whole film with his voice alone.

That's sort of how they're supposed to be. They're so beyond our understanding and unimaginably powerful that we can't really do anything about them, and often they aren't even aware of us. Their very existence is a threat.

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

"Cosmic horror was all about challenging humanity's self-importance. The horror of Cthulhu lay not in Cthulhu wanting to nibble off our knackers, but in the fact that Cthulhu doesn't really give a shit; he was around before humanity, will be around long after, and spares us no more thought than he would the dust mites in his bathroom carpet. But that horror doesn't work so well in the modern age, when we only need open a web browser to be reminded that humanity is pointless and deserve to die out and leave naught but cheap plastic Spider-Man Halloween costumes for the archaeologists of future races to puzzle over." - Yahtzee

@@BrunoMaricFromZagreb In the middle is Rune Factory 5, a franchise spun off from Harvest Moon that combined Harvest Moon's farming and daily life sim with a anime fantasy-themed action-adventure game and are IMO more fun than HM/SoS (think Stardew Valley but more anime and a tolerable combat system). 5 is the first one in proper 3D so it's not super innovative compared to 4 but is still fairly solid. Front-right is My Time at Sandrock, a sequel to My Time at Portia that I don't know much about but is a 3D adventure thing mostly about collecting and crafting through increasingly sophisticated production lines (but without such an intense focus on pure automation like, say, Satisfactory). Of course both have the requisite social and daily life aspects.

[@SariaMarie]

While I agree that Dredge sets up its horror beautifully, I think its payoff isn’t found within the leviathans that hunt you throughout the game. Rather, I’d say it’s a bit more like fridge horror- you adapt to these surroundings, you become part of the world, of the eeriness inherent in it, and it’s only when you step away to do something else that the sheer horror hits you. You became complacent in the lovecraftian horror but at the same time you can’t outrun it nor can you fight against it. You have become a part of it, so gradually that you didn’t notice till it was far, far too late.

[@danilooliveira6580]

you know, I have a problem with Lovecraftian games that don't seem to get what the psychological horror of Lovecraftian horror is all about. but you know what, a game about how you have to deal with monsters on your day to day life to the point it becomes mundane and just part of life is strangely interesting. its like, those things are clearly wrong and terrible, but you are so beyond the rabbit hole that you don't even care anymore, it became part of normal life. in the end it does have the The Shadow over Innsmouth vibes to it.

[@whatisbestinlife8112]

Getting cut off by a rando driver as first encountering the big eldritch horror in Dredge is exactly how it felt. A brief moment of excitement that something major is about to happen then bang, zoom and the big fish is gone and I'm limping home doing the math calculations in my head about how much the repair costs are going to set me back.

[@benjaminthompson8359]

I am now curious about Yathzee's time in Missouri.

[@JustinBeaudry]

I felt the same about Dredge. It was just neat. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the gameplay loop though.

[@JumbaJumby]

That joke with the turtle is definitely one of my new favorites.

[@NegaDruid]

Looking forward to any DLC or additions Dredge gets in the future. There is some room to grow there. But, having caught every fish and aberration in the almanac and seen all the monsters and mastered the various locales... I found it actually comfortable and deeply enjoyable. Well worth the money for a weekend that promised to be annoying and anxiety filled and turned into relaxed fishing with lovecraftian horror.

[@Wandergirl108]

Same! I even did a challenge mode I made up wherein I didn't buy any tools or equipment other than engines and the basic trawl net (the game actually provides everything else you need elsewhere) because I'd already done everything there was to do but wanted a reason to keep playing. I PRAY for DLC, or a sequel, or additions, or SOMETHING, and by that I mean something more substantial than the DLC that unlocks two items at the start of the game and that's it, I'll throw any amount of money at this game if it means I get to play more of it. Hopefully getting exposure from Yahtzee and Jacksepticeye will make the game big enough that the devs will see fit to make our wish come true.

[@Wylie288]

This. Its the only game ive 100%ed in a very long time. I felt every bit of my time was respected and rewarded. Finishing upgrading my shift wasn't difficult. I was mostly done by the end of the game. And grinding out all the fish discoveries? That was something I genuinely wanted to do because I wanted to see each of the different aberrations. Im totally down with more areas and fish. They don't even need crazy new mechanics. Just a new area to explore, new fish, and a new sea monster.

[@alanmiller7875]

having been to several strip clubs in Missouri I can say confidently that none of them are well organized but they are like Dredge in that the secrets just below the surface are disgusting and you become numb to them quickly enough that the real horror lies in not being able to go back to normalcy after having witnessed what lies beneath.

[@Wandergirl108]

I've played through Dredge three times (first one blind, second one completionist, third one a challenge mode I made up wherein I only bought engines and the basic trawl net and got everything else from the game's puzzles), and if you're curious, giant fish monsters are NOT the mystery. I mean it would be a crummy mystery if it was, but no, the mystery is actually about the cause of the monsters' occurrence, and it's totally missable, you have to see every dialogue option and read every message in a bottle, and even then if you don't get the semi-secret ending you can still be partially clueless. I highly recommend the game, if some rando's opinion matters to you, it was fun enough that I played it nonstop for three days straight and would have continued if I hadn't done everything there was to do. XD

[@thomastakesatollforthedark2231]

Dredge feels like youre a side character in a lovecraft story honestly. Like an old linguist can visit the Marrows at any time and get sent your way, sticking to your side as he writes down every weird phrase you cough up or listens to the whispers of the evil engines and talismans you casually toss into your hull because it gets you places faster. Only to then get promptly eaten when he drops the talisman in the wrong spot and an anemone the size of east Germany rises up from the depths and pulls you off deck so he can wallow in insanity for a few months and take your spot after.

If it were longer id probably not have actually 100%ed it. Its as long as game should be. Im an adult now, im tired of meaningless grind. A game isn't "longer" because it was artifically lengthen by making me collect 3 of each fish to complete the mission instead of just one. That doesn't add any value to my dollar and only works to drive me away before completion. Dredge took just enough work to both respect my time and feel rewarding.

[@Metrion77]

I'd say Dredge is more an eerie dad game rather than a horror game, in the same way Subnautica is an eerie survival game or Phasmophobia is an eerie puzzle game. There's horror elements, but the scares don't show up if you're doing it right. You could remove the horror elements without damaging the core gameplay loop. Meanwhile games like FNAF or Mortuary Assistant or Outlast or Resident Evil would stop functioning without the horror elements.
