From Press Release:
NICOSIA, Cyprus – Nov. 9, 2026 – DREADMOOR, the dark first-person fishing adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world from developer Dream Dock and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment, one of the top 60 most-wishlisted games on Steam, is now available in Early Access for PC.
Venture out onto the waters of the cursed Submerged Lands, where a catastrophe has twisted everything in it beyond human comprehension. Take the helm of a rickety old fishing boat, explore the haunted estuary, and enlist the help of the area’s mutant bait shop owners and their half-mad ship’s engineer.
Arm yourself with the weapons of an angler: rod, reel, and a selection of specialized lures. Seek out the feeding grounds for the Submerged Lands’ bizarre and dangerous fish. Set your line if you dare – these fish are bloodthirsty, but the more ravenous and razor-toothed they are, the better the price they’ll fetch back at the shop.
Fill up your hold, then head back to sell and process your fish, refuel and refit your boat, and perhaps get a few hours of sleep. Remember not to stay out on the water after dark, for there are things that lurk beneath the waves that even the most skilled anglers wouldn’t want to tangle with.
Use parts of the mutant fish you catch to craft upgraded lures, and convert materials salvaged from wrecked ships into upgraded components for your boat in the dry dock. Add better armor, upgrade the engine, and increase the capacity of your hold – you’ll need every advantage you can get if you’re going to survive and thrive in these treacherous waters.
DREADMOOR’s Early Access version features the full core gameplay experience with the complete storyline, and a variety of fish species and mutations to discover. After completing story content, freely explore to continue fishing and upgrading the boat and equipment. Dream Dock anticipates DREADMOOR’s Early Access period will last six to 12 months, with new content to be added during this time, and the game will be available at a lower price during Early Access.
“DREADMOOR is a passion project for us, and passing 750,000 wishlists on Steam let us know that players are just as excited about it as we are,” said Rostislav Fedorov, CEO of Dream Dock. “With Early Access, we’ll be bringing our players on board for the rest of DREADMOOR’s development, kind of like taking on a fresh crew.”
DREADMOOR is available now in Steam Early Access on PC for $19.99. The game supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish – Spain, Portuguese – Brazil, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Polish, Russian, and Japanese language text.
