I am totally here for you obsessively filling out the encyclopedia. This kinda content is perfect to knit to, especially with how much you're loving the game and the fab voice acting you're doing for all the characters. Oh, and don't worry, the handkerchief was a one-off; you get all the other artifacts by doing lil quest type things. You can just sell the aberrations.

[@Goshgolly27]

Hello fellow listen-and-knit watcher!

[@celloafterdark4173]

I remember having the same concern about selling aberrations!

[@Killersquirrel66]

@@celloafterdark4173 Yeah, I get why they chose that to kick the artifact quests off, but unless you carefully read the quest instructions and realise that the rest are all dredging related it's confusing. 😆

[@e.v.martin8524]

Haha, I too knit while watching these! Greetings, my cohorts!

[@madspitch]

My first John game was Call of Cthulhu 11 years ago and now we’re here, mentioning typefaces and talking about fish. I am so happy.

[@BigBoss89189]

Yes, back then His channel was called Harshlycritucal.

[@JBarG22]

The amount of respect I have for John for leaving the Metric System is immeasurable

[@franzmikolan4109]

I wonder how's this joke gonna die 😂 can't stop laughing everytime I see this when John mention this in his debunking video.

[@celloafterdark4173]

Even better because it's a measuring joke 😂

So happy to finally see you playing this! Just wanted to let ya know that there is no "cut-off" time for when you have to be back, like in Stardew. Just know that the later and longer you're out, the more your panic meter will go up and the more likely you are to encounter... things, but that's all I'll say on that :P I'm so happy you're enjoying it so far! There's many more mysteries to dredge up from the depths, and I eagerly await the new uploads!

[@samwisegamgee1243]

​@@corning1Fishing and exploring make up the core gameplay. There is a bit of an eldritch story/atmosphere, but if you're not a fan of fishing or exploration, this game might not be your cup of tea.

[@celloafterdark4173]

I think it's fun to watch and fun to play! I love it

[@haileyelizabeth9232]

The amount of respect I have for John being a fisherman is immeasurable

[@notknowingwhy6790]

Indie games having total freedom of art style is a blessing, this game looks amazing

[@jinsoulcialista]

nothing's better than john being genuinely invested in a game and having fun doing whatever, after thousands of crappy horror games some well deserved little joys come lol

[@RhizomaticAssemblage]

Saw this, instant click. Love Dredge and have enjoyed other playthroughs in the past, and it seems like it would fit your style of commentary really well. Excited to see it

[@girlpaintsworld]

CK must have some fire entertainment when John reads her bedtime stories lol those character voices are so good!

[@logan-lb8uk]

i couldnt stop giggling as john was realising how much like stardew valley it was and how into the game he was going to get XD i love knowing a youtubers going to love a game and then being proven right

[@Grapplejack]

There are some timed quests in the game, but just don't talk to them and it won't start the timer. You can find people alone on islands sometimes; if you talk to them it starts their timer. You know watching him play reminded me how good the music is, I love the piano pieces.

[@TBear-pv1ex]

If I remember they actually cut that out (timed quests) in one of the updates. Still best to do them quickly to add to immersion.

[@caramelspellman3253]

So excited for your playthrough! The stones that hums, you can get visions by touching them if your panic meter is high enough. The fish do go stale if you don't sell them. Also I hope you have a lot of fun with this game.

[@roramoya]

Ooh this game looks good. The voice you made for the fishmonger jus zapped me right back to your playthroughs of Inscryption and The Sinking City! I'm glad to see another great game being played on the channel

[@Cove_Blue]

I'm so glad you're finally playing this! I had a feeling you'd really like it! It's definitely one of my favorites from this year!

[@79Bobola]

I love this game! John is making it even better with his awesome voice overs 😊

[@Bad_Karma00]

I agree!

[@gardenthefermentingsound6218]

I love Dredge. It's "cozy horror" Loved Gab's playthrough of it too

[@DoctorCatPHD]

hey john you can stay up for days really just watch your panic meter and sell your fish before they get stale. also you have room for another engine and a light, the engines stack and the light will help with the fog

[@jadesmith417]

This game is gorgeous! I love the eye that freaks out the closer it gets to midnight, I get nervous everytime.

[@Teenamarie1632]

This game is like a dream for someone who loved Stardew fishing lol. Also the suggested docking time isn't like in Stardew where you pass out or something, its really just a suggestion because of sanity and whatnot. Great playthrough! I really hope it continues.

[@fatbadger366]

I picked this game up randomly a while back, and its remained one of my favorite indy titles. From the art style, to the storyline, to the gameplay, its all just such a treat to take in. Seeing others enjoy it as much as I do warms me to the core.

[@creativelaughter]

I’m so glad you decided to pick up this game! I heard about it from Gab when she played the demo and obsessively 100% it since I enjoyed it so much. Have yet to play the DLC but you’ve inspired me to do it this week! A few other people mentioned it, but just to stack- you can stay out later, it just makes the eye icon go crazy and depleting a fishing spot isn’t going to ruin fish spawning. Have so much fun playing this game! It’s amazing! I can’t wait for your next video. :c)

[@carmelcity9527]

As soon as John saw the crab pages I thought of Krabby too lol. Love this game, so I’m excited for this playthrough!

[@EmoAnimeFanGirlLOL]

So excited you're checking this out I knew you'd enjoy it 🎉

[@TsukadaHina]

I absolutely loved this game.

[@itsavalinnoduh8]

after his confusion of the QTE, the sudden and angry "NOTHING" at 1:01:24 made me snort laugh

[@Flawestruck]

Sitting here crocheting a fish while watching John play a fishing game. Peaceful times. Also, I gotta get this game. Looks like so much fun.

[@kkuro7054]

Clearly I need to check out the gaming side of your channel(s) properly, you've got excellent taste (purely coincidentally so like my own!) and your commentary, reactions, criticism, enthusiasm are all awesome!

[@AJu-qd1dd]

So excited to see you play through this! Some tips I wish I knew that the game never really got into- You can stay out til whenever, but your sanity suffers. The eye shows your panic level. Touching the rock doesn't work unless you're red eyed. Whispers go away if you turn out your light. Good luck out there!

[@DenverMax27]

I've been furiously playing through this game the past few days to be ready for your playthrough. Glad to see that you are loving it so far! It has definitely lived up to the hype imo.

[@Liesmith424]

This game was so much fun; I wish there was more of it.

[@itsBASILLICUS]

oh man, oh man, i am so excited for this playthrough!

[@sophiag7005]

The energy when John likes a game is sooooo good, I will like this playthrough just for that I’m pretty sure

[@kevinr5544]

Glad you're finally playing this, it was so much fun. As soon as I heard you said you had to be back by midnight, like stardew valley, I cringed. There is no time deadline like those games, it's just weird things happen at night. Stay out late for more interesting things. Can't wait till I see more.

[@MichaelTMeunier]

One of my favorite series of yours! I havent finished watching the full playthrough, need to watch the last couple. But, Ive actually been watching these early episodes as part of my nightly wind-down. Very relaxing! Keep up the great work bro

[@rinkingg]

so happy to see John playing this!! I love this game so much :) I hope he gets the dlc

[@darkfalzx]

Dredge was one of the best games I played last year, and I'm super glad to see John giving it a go.

[@Airakanke]

I'm so glad you're playing this after they modified the robed figure pursuits!! You should definitely stay out more during the night and go back to the rock when you are at full panic ;)

[@SevillaMuerta]

John I’m so happy you’re playing this! This is a game that’s genuinely a lot of fun and I’m really hoping that you have fun playing it!

[@haisuarina]

Yay~ I play this game on long-haul flights Excited to see how the journey unravels!

[@ninjatoriumnova2483]

Dredge is great! It's very moody and has some creepy elements, but it (almost) never stops being relaxing.

[@Bad_Karma00]

I'm glad you're enjoying this game, it's awesome you're playing it. Hopefully you'll like it enough to do a full playthrough.

[@juniper877]

I'm so excited for you to play the fish tetris game hahah ^^

[@iveyao120]

It’s so awesome to see you so happy playing this game. Loving it so far!

[@EllteoArt]

literally SO excited to watch you play this!!! I've played through the whole game and I was so excited to watch some of my favorite youtubers play it too, I wasn't sure you'd ever give it a shot, but I'm absolutely delighted :]

[@christinahankins4114]

Enjoying a lot, glad you like this gem of a game! My tip is to explore all around, all the shorelines!

[@mistersadaimusic]

I really need devs to make more Lovecraftian games like this so I can watch John play them.

[@BombSwan]

It's awesome that you're starting this game! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

[@melanied917]

Okay so here are some answers to your questions: 22:13 it just takes a few days in game, they don't actually deplete completely. Also yeah you don't really wanna hold on to fish for too long because they spoil and rot to nothing which means you won't be getting any money for those As for reading books, it will give you like skills and stuff, you can just have them active while fishing as you saw. :) so its good to always have one active! You can stay out past 12, it's not like stardew in the sense of you get knocked out, your panic just gets more intense and you start to hallucinate and be more.... "prone to damage" 🤭🤭🤭 There's some really cool stuff to see at night As you saw as well, you can dock at nearby islands you don't have to keep going back to the main island, so you can fish further away from the main island at night. You can go to wherever is closest 😊

[@brandonkim3091]

I'm so happy to see you back in the game with the uploads. I'm happy that Dredge has finally caught your eye!

[@Sirene1134]

Bless you John for posting this playthrough early in the year lol I've been dragging my feet on playing this despite being excited so I need to at least be a bit ahead of you to watch the vids 😂 Excited for more of this playthrough!

[@naicitoahc]

So glad you decided to start this!! One of my favorite indie games in a long while :)

[@ianvarney2112]

Hey John, I'm pretty sure you can buy one of the old crappy engines, install it next to your current engine, and gain some speed.

[@KonataTanaka]

my boyfriend and i just saw this and immediately got so excited 😭 been loving the twolfe content, tysm for the food

[@jordanjohnson7142]

Was hoping John would get to this eventually! 😊

[@QRadde]

I love the voices John is doing in this video!

[@queen_melon6466]

Officially spoiled with John content. Happy 2024...the year of incredible John content. 🎉

[@rhys7877]

See you at the end of the playlist everyone ✋

[@thepenitence]

Yesss Dredge! I love this game, watched Jack play it. This is like my indie GOTY :)

[@ayeeeemc]

Soooo excited to see this one from you, I thought you’d enjoy it watching Gab’s play through

[@ColdLights]

One of the hardest working KZbinrs out there.

[@LunaLightbringer]

The gold ring was maybe.. a wedding ring? Ooh mysteries already, I'm enjoying this! 😀 Never seen a game quite like this before!

[@thefailbender]

Let’s go!! I’m so happy you started playing this. It’s so fun, played through the whole game twice. Killer (bad) ending LOL

[@RebekahJae]

For the relics, you dredge shipwrecks, not fish and it will be very obvious if you found the correct piece. The rest of the trinkets you find, you can sell. Also if you wanna see some of the horror stuff, stay out at night. You don’t have to be back by a certain time. It’s just the longer you stay in the dark, the more sanity you lose.

[@expreso4depreso]

IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS PLAY THROUGH

[@SeraphOfTheStone]

SAME!! 🎉🎉

[@Kilorelv]

Ended up having to hold off on watching the videos because I've been busy and wanted to do the DLC area before watching you play. AMAZING game happy to see you playing it.

[@jrcspiderman2003]

OH HELL YEAH. I love this game, I'm glad you're playing it, can't wait to watch this in a bit!

[@mitsukichan19]

yesss more 1 hr long vids!! i grew up listening to YTbers doing this kind of lenghty playthrough. How exciting!

[@samwisegamgee1243]

Really stoked to see you picked this up John, I'm so excited to see you play! If you end up liking this game, others you might enjoy are: - Strange Horticulture (similar to this, but you run a plant shop) - Silt (think Limbo underwater) - Outer Wilds (space exploration) - The Wild at Heart (Pikmin, but with some horror) - A bit of a stretch, but you might also like The Case of the Golden Idol (a mystery with some occult themes) Strange Horticulture is probably the closest to Dredge's balance of collection gameplay + creepy overtones. Even if you dont play any of these, I'm still happy you're checking out Dredge!

[@ghostmark2005]

I cannot oversate that the measurements of John are highly respectable

[@jdphillips7539]

I’m sure it won’t do you any good to tell you now but you can combine engines if you have space. The junk one added to your other would give you a boost. Depleted spots do eventually come back. Midnight doesn’t really matter. You can get gotten by the dark as soon as it’s dark.

[@crimsonknightsoul]

This game looks really fun. Excited to see what happens next!

[@Dragonbleps]

Yessss, I'm so excited!! I hope you enjoy it :D It's a beautiful game with a touching story and appropriately spooky fishies

[@TheElementalBlood]

This has totally convinced me to buy it. I'm invested and can't wait to see more!

[@megancharles1721]

this game looks so cool so far!! looking forward to seeing more of it :)

[@marypoppins2232]

The look makes me think of Firewatch, and those are some of my favorite videos of yours. So ready to watch!!!!

[@aude94]

Had such a great time watching you play this game thanks! Excited for the next one!

[@horacjaa]

ahhh i clicked on this so fast, i absolutely loved this game! i didn't expect it would even be on your radar, so i'm really happy to see you give it a try.

[@AKookieForYou]

I had a blast playing Dredge last year, such a fun and anxiety inducing game lmao. I hope you end up liking it. I thought the story was actually quite engaging, the mystery of it all really hooked me Edit: Just wanted to add, engines and lights stack. So if you have space for two, three etc cheap engines on your ship, their speeds stack up to a higher speed overall. I had my little boat zooming around, nearly crashing into rocks 😂😂

[@deepiotrowski3079]

Love seeing John have the same reaction to the encyclopedia that I did. Gotta catch 'em all!

[@murph64]

With how quickly you were like “I’m all in” when you saw how many fish there were in the game, it made me think, I don’t know if you’ve ever played RDR2, but I get the feeling you’d enjoy it even if only to max out the compendium. That game truly lets you say “progress the main story? No thank you, I will actually be birdwatching and collecting herbs and fishing until the very end of time :-)” I also am just obsessed w that game and am probably always looking for opportunities to recommend it, don’t @ me 😭

[@danisartori3515]

Yay! I'm so happy you're playing this and that you're enjoying it! I'm all in for this playthrough ;D

[@suitxwithxipod6]

Oooooh I'm SO excited to see you discover some of the juicy secrets in this!!!

[@Goshgolly27]

This game is so good, and yes, you will lose hours in it! Dredge is unique and familiar, peaceful and spooky.

[@everdormant3568]

Yeeeees, Dredge so good! I'm sure you'll enjoy uncovering it's dark secrets...

[@Bluemoonfreddy1]

Very excited for your play through! Can’t wait to see what you think!

[@TripCar182]

Really looking forward to your gameplay of dredge, and happy to see you're enjoying this so far.

[@noheckoff5305]

I love this channel so much, very excited to see you enjoy this game it's truly amazing!

[@sfaira4072]

I didn't expect to see the game on your channel but I'm very happy you're playing it! I was considering checking it out myself, so I might leave watching for playing myself in the future, but I'm glad I can take a glimpse into it with you!

[@sammaloo]

Ughhhhhhhh I'm so excited for you to play this

[@samwisegamgee1243]

Omg no sleep sounds horrible, I can't imagine the hallucinations you character is going through. 😂

[@fireslasher13]

I loved this game, I can't wait to see you experience it!

[@mariovelasquez1243]

That menu music is VERY similar to the Hamlet music in Darkest Dungeons so this is gonna be a banger

[@jinsoulcialista]

btw love seeing john on full "stardew" mode THOUGH sometimes is fun to stay overnight fishing.. y'know like staying late at the skull mines, surely nothing can go wrong lol

[@AngeliqueStP]

I'm so happy you're doing this one! I've been SUPER interested in getting it (I mean, Stardew fishing mated with Cthulthoid elements... how can one NOT be?) but wasn't sure if my hands could 'handle' it. And I didn't want to watch someone else play it. Now this'll tell me if it's doable - Thank You much-ly, John!

[@jdphillips7539]

Much easier to fish than Stardew! I also have those issues.

[@2LEGION2]

This game looks pretty fun actually. I think after watching john enjoy this game makes me think I'll enjoy it as well I'll have to check this out when I'm done with my jedi survivor playthrough which will probably take a while 😂 but I think this game is on sale on the playstation store I'll have to pick it up and check it out later and meanwhile see more of what it has to offer through john

[@jurassicnick5672]

Hey John, I played this game…never finished it…I am excited to watch you experience it!!!

[@AJanineBrett]

I'm really enjoying the playthrough, John! To answer your question in the beginning, this game reminds me a lot of Sunless Sea. There's more of a focus on adventuring than fishing in that game, but it's very unique with lots of replayability, story, and horror and resource management elements!

[@toodleloos]

sooo excited to see how you explore(d) this game!! dredge is a game i could watch for hours ❤ and as a stardew 100%er im excited to see what all you do

[@TeddyBearKilla]

*comments voice* "WOW, more DBD references with this guy, he keeps making the same jokes and references!" 😂 I'm glad you get to experience this game, I never have either but I saw it get a lot of praise from people.

[@thesuperginge1348]

Oh I love this game! Just wanted to let you know John, that I never knew you had a channel like this, but I saw the clip of this game at the end of one of your ghosty debunking vids, but I instantly subscribed and I'm now going to watch all you have of this!
