Quick summary
Dreadline: Net Quota is a PC action title from ManaBrigade that blends cooperative first-person fishing with dark, supernatural humor. Up to six players can team up for risky sea expeditions to catch and sell fish in order to chip away at an overwhelming debt. The game is available in Early Access, so it’s still being developed.
World and premise
Set in a bleak, post-collapse setting where money is scarce, the story puts you and five fellow anglers on a desperate voyage: net as many valuable catches as you can and bring them back to market. Along the way you’ll discover oddities — collectible hats that add a touch of whimsy, and strange silhouettes on the water at night that hint at something otherworldly beneath the surface.
