The premise, in the publisher's words
Starting from your new home in the remote archipelago, ‘The Marrows’, take to the water and scour the depths for curious collectables and over 125 deep sea denizens. Explore each area while completing quests and visiting neighbouring island regions – each with their own unique opportunities, inhabitants, and secrets.

How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 12 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 24 hrs, roughly 2 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $10.79, that works out to about $0.90 per hour of the main story, or $0.45 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i3-2100 | AMD Phenom II X4 965, 4 GB RAM and Nvidia 8800 GT 512MB | Radeon HD 6570 1GB. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 2GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.

What it launched against
Dredge launched on 30 March 2023, within three weeks of Resident Evil 4, Figment 2: Creed Valley, Wartales and Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Resident Evil 4, Figment 2: Creed Valley, Wartales, Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores.
