DREDGE is a game of contrasts, and our incredible composer David Mason elevated this to new levels in the audio design of DREDGE. The subtle use of soft instrumental stingers during the day and a sinister soundscape at night is intended to help amplify the feelings of loneliness and claustrophobia we wanted the open waters to evoke. Each area has its own distinct set of instruments, and each dock has its own theme within the world. For a quick refresher, check out the free version of our soundtrack:

We are so happy David decided to send us an e-mail completely out of the blue one day to see if we needed a composer for DREDGE, and that he was still keen a few months later when we realised we really did! We are all so proud of the combination of his music and our game world.
Please help us show our appreciation by nominating DREDGE for Best Soundtrack in this year’s Steam Awards.
