FROM THE DEVELOPERS
The September 4 announcement outlined new fish, revised quests and updated areas for a September 10–14 test. Here is what it established—and why it is now a historical access record.
Dev Diary #6 describes a fragile starting trawler that becomes a familiar base through upgrades, personalization and repeated returns, while distance and night keep voyages dangerous.
Dev Diary #5 explains how fog, sound, changing light and distance from safety contribute to DREADMOOR’s tension, with combat as one part of the danger.
WELCOME TO THE SUBMERGED LAND

DREADMOOR is a single-player, first-person fishing adventure set in a flooded, post-apocalyptic world. Captain a trawler, catch and trade fish, gather resources, improve your equipment and face threats on both land and water.

GUIDE / 01
DREADMOOR is described as a first-person fishing adventure with skill-based fishing, different baits and catches that can threaten one another in the hold. Catch handling matters as well as landing the fish.
GUIDE / 02
Your fishing trawler carries you between settlements in DREADMOOR’s flooded world. Vessel upgrades, crafting and trading catches are confirmed parts of the announced loop; specific upgrade prices are not verified here.
GUIDE / 03
Sea creatures can eat one another in DREADMOOR’s hold. Sorting and watching your catch are part of the announced loop, but safe layouts and species compatibility remain unverified.
GUIDE / 04
Steam lists Windows 10 or higher, 8 GB RAM and a GTX 1060 6 GB or RX 580 8 GB as part of DREADMOOR’s minimum specification. Recommended hardware is listed separately; neither tier is a measured frame-rate promise.
