minus-squareRose@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 days agoDREDGE is one of the greatest recent games that actually get Lovecraftian horror. You have the unnerving sense that, despite all of the minor assurances, the place you’re in is somehow wrong. And once you start fishin’, you see the major things are Down There. Maybe they have minions Up Here. And by the time you actually see some actual major real horrors, it’s already too late. (Me, I’m just happy the game added a Photographer who said, hey, you can always photograph turtles. Because I know in my heart turtles can’t be evil.)
