I got kind of caught up in the "catch fish, sell fish, buy boat upgrades to get more fish, catch fish" cycle for longer than I suspect Dredge expected me to, so that when I did eventually start poking my head into the less peaceful parts of the game, I found myself on an extremely fast and well-lit yacht that could outrun whatever sea-horrors wanted to get me. You can't stop me because I have the power of fishing minigames on my side!
