DREADMOOR on Steam
About This Game
DREADMOOR is an atmospheric first-person fishing adventure game set in a flooded world. Skill-based fishing, survival crafting, real-time combat, and exploration through rotting wetlands define your journey across land claimed by sea and decay.
Take the helm of a fishing trawler and explore a world flooded by a catastrophic human mistake. Coastal regions have sunk beneath the water, and much of the remaining land has been submerged underwater. Travel between scattered settlements, catch fish to trade, upgrade your vessel, and craft essential equipment. Face mutated creatures across sea and land and move carefully through a divided world where resources are scarce, and trust is fragile.
Dozens of dangerous and rare species await beneath the surface. Scour the waters for the best fishing spots, experiment with different baits, and compete with the unpredictable forces of nature as you cast your line into the murky waters. Sort your catch and keep an eye on the hold. Sea creatures do not hesitate to devour each other. The more dangerous the prey, the higher the price offered by the mysterious traders of the Submerged Lands.
Seek out valuable resources along the way. In the Submerged Lands, scrap metal and forgotten blueprints are often worth their weight in gold. Explore abandoned buildings, caves, and shipwrecks in search of rare and useful finds.
Resources gathered across the Submerged Lands can be crafted into specialized bait, reinforced harpoons, rare medicines, and survival tools suited to the harsh realities of this world. Discover new recipes, refine your equipment, and adapt to the challenges that lie ahead.
Bring your trawler into dry dock and prepare it for the dangers ahead. Craft and install new components, shaping your vessel piece by piece. Upgrade your engine and propeller for greater speed and manoeuvrability, reinforce the hull, and keep spare fuel close at hand with a canister rack. Cut through the darkness with a spotlight, or engage the afterburner for a burst of speed when danger closes in. These and other upgrades are vital not only to explore the Submerged Lands, but also to make sure you can get back safely!
The waters and shores of The Submerged Land are inhabited by creatures twisted by catastrophe. Be prepared for real-time confrontations on sea and land – danger can emerge at any moment, turning routine expeditions into desperate fights for survival.
