A movie adaptation of the fishing horror game DREDGE has been announced.
Black Salt Games has reportedly partnered with the film producer Story Kitchen in order to create a movie based on the indie horror game.
“Think ‘The Sixth Sense’ on the water. A grounded atmospheric cosmic horror blend of HP Lovecraft and Ernest Hemingway.”
“We are excited to partner with such an experienced studio team to bring the world we created to live action and ignite the imagination of audiences across the globe,” said Black Salt Games’ Nadia Thorne, Joel Mason, Alex Ritchie and Michael Bastiaens in a statement.
Story Kitchen is a relatively knew production company, helmed by Dmitri M. Johnson who was a producer on the Sonic the Hedgehog movie which became a surprise hit with fans.
The company is also reportedly working on many more adaptations of video games, including a Toejam & Earl animation, as well as a Tomb Raider animated series set for later this year.
In DREDGE, players take on the role of a fishing captain who begins a side business trawling for ancient artifacts on the ocean floor. Who wants these artifacts and for what comes secondary to the captain’s spirit of adventure, but perhaps they should be careful what they meddle with.
Players will sail and explore across open water, catching fish, finding artifacts and lost lore, and coming face to face with horrors from the deep as they find themselves deeper and deeper into an eldritch mystery.
