Dredge, R.I.P My boat
Supernatural fishing sim Dredge has the least visceral death scenes on this list, mainly because they all happen to you while you’re on a boat. I’m not particularly gifted at steering this boat, so when monsters come for my humble ship in the middle of the night, it seems easier, sometimes, to let them kill me.
A creature with massive octopus tentacles is my most frequent assailant. It seems futile to try avoiding its giant limbs, so when they begin to sneak out of the gray water, I chug my little boat away while anticipating the damage it’ll do.
It can be comforting when I die in Dredge. I know I’ll wake up at my last save point, practically a friendly hometown compared to the unknowable mysteries of everything else.
What are some of your favorite death scenes this year? Let me know in the comments.
