Forget peaceful fishing trips. DREADMOOR , the dark first-person fishing adventure from developer Dream Dock and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment, has officially launched in Steam Early Access for PC.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world known as the Submerged Lands, players take command of a battered fishing boat and venture into a haunted estuary filled with bizarre creatures, dangerous waters, and more than a few reasons to stay close to shore after dark.
The premise is simple enough: catch fish, sell your haul, and do whatever it takes to survive. The catch? These aren’t exactly the kind of fish you’d want swimming around your local lake. Players will need specialized lures and fishing gear to hunt down increasingly dangerous species, with the most vicious catches potentially bringing in the biggest payouts.
Back at the docks, earnings and salvaged materials can be used to craft better lures and upgrade your boat. Improve the engine, reinforce the hull, and expand cargo capacity as you prepare to explore deeper into the Submerged Lands. You’ll also encounter a cast of unusual characters, including mutant bait shop owners and a slightly unhinged ship’s engineer.
