Izzy (Zelda Adams) lives a reclusive life deep within the woods in a mountain top house she shares with her mother (played by her real life mother Toby Poser… but more on all that in a bit my fiends) where the two of them get up to all manner of mother/daughter biz primarily consisting of creating some sweet-ass tunes with their two woman band, Hellbender, while glammed up in their home rehearsal space and eating pinecones, roots, and other assorted plant-based crunchy bits. Things are all art and river swimmin’ for Izzy, so life is pretty damn good except for one thing… she’s sick and cannot leave her property or interact with others.

Team 17 and Black Salt Games today announced their partnership in bringing the fishing adventure game (with a twist) DREDGE to PC and Consoles in 2023, giving you plenty of time to get a bigger boat… In DREDGE, players will step into the boots of a down-on-their-luck fisherman and explore a collection of remote isles while scouring the surrounding depths for various fish and valuable deep-sea curios. Once their trawler is full, they can sell their haul to the peculiar locals while completing quests and unraveling more about each area. They can also reinforce their vessel, skills, and knowledge to dredge deeper and reach more secluded lands. Beginning in their new home in the remote islands of ‘The Marrows’, players can investigate each inlet while completing tasks for the yesteryear locals and taking trips to neighboring regions – each with their unique fish to find, inhabitants to meet, and secrets to uncover.
