Developer Dream Dock has announced Dreadmoor, a new first-person single-player action-adventure inspired by the 2023 hit Dredge where you'll fish from your trawler, explore, fight monsters, craft items, upgrade your boat, and deal with whatever unexpected mysteries lurk in the post-apocalyptic Drownlands. It's in development for PC. Check out the announcement trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.
Dream Dock describes Dreadmoor like so: "Step behind the helm of a fishing trawler and set sail into a world where, after a global nuclear war, continents have sunk beneath the waves, replaced by scattered islands and submerged ruins of ancient civilizations. Sell your catch to survivors, complete quests, and move one step closer to survival. Keep an eye on your ship’s cargo hold—creatures might devour each other! Upgrade your ship and craft equipment to explore hidden depths and secret locations. Mutated creatures and sinister mysteries lie hidden in the deep and within abandoned structures, especially at night. Beware of radiation, as the danger is even greater out there…"
There are over 100 species of fish to catch, with the deepest and toughest catchest requiring the craziest bait but fetching the biggest rewards. You'll scavenge for resources and explore both above the surface and below it. You can wishlist Dreadmoor on Steam if you're interested.
