The first expansion to Dredge, an RPG with horror elements. Dredge: The Pale Reach is set in a frozen area full of secrets.
Dredge: The Pale Reach is the first expansion to Dredge, an RPG with horror elements released in March 2023. It was developed by Black Salt Games, just like the base game, and was published by Team17.
Plot
Dredge: The Pale Reach introduces a new storyline, which we can play through at any point of the base game. It's set in an icy area hiding a great secret. Following the trail of the previous crew to sail these waters, we learn about bitter betrayal and the place we're in.
Mechanics
Dredge: The Pale Reach adds about 1-3 hours of playtime, depending on our playstyle and pace. Aside from new quests, there's also four new equipment items and eleven new types of fish to catch. There's also a new, extremely useful boat expansion, capable of breaking ice. Players can also purchase blocks of ice, which make fish spoil slower.
Technical aspects
Dredge: The Pale Reach is not a standalone expansion and requires the base version of Dredge.

Another opportunity to explore, uncover secrets, and generally get creeped out in the world of DREDGE
VideoGamer: 8 / 10 by Tom Bardwell
Dredge: The Pale Reach is a rewarding, albeit bite-sized slice expansion that taps into what made the base game one of this year's most compelling indie efforts. For those after more of that unique, unsettling coziness, The Pale Reach should scratch that nautical itch.
Invision Community: 8 / 10 by Brady Ruiters
Dredge The Pale Reach is a nice little add-on to the original game and its runtime, while short, feels close to the amount of time I may have spent in a biome in the base game. As mentioned before, it’s more Dredge, which isn’t a bad thing, but maybe it might not be enough to jump in right away. It isn’t badly priced and shares just a little bit more of its world, so if you’re itching for some more, The Pale Reach will be a good fit.
