"Dreadmoor: New PC Game Blends Fishing with Post-Apocalyptic Mystery"

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 19,2025

Developer Dream Dock has unveiled their latest project, Dreadmoor, a thrilling first-person single-player action-adventure game inspired by the 2023 hit Dredge. In Dreadmoor, players will take on the role of a trawler captain navigating the post-apocalyptic Drownlands. The game promises an immersive experience where you'll fish, explore mysterious territories, combat monstrous beings, craft essential items, and enhance your boat to unravel the secrets hidden within this submerged world. Currently in development for PC, you can view the announcement trailer above and explore the first screenshots in the gallery below.

Dream Dock provides a vivid description of Dreadmoor: "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…"

The game boasts over 100 species of fish to catch, with the most challenging catches in the deepest waters requiring unique bait but offering the highest rewards. Players will also scavenge for resources and explore both above and below the water's surface.
