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

by Allison Apr 24,2025

Developer Dream Dock has exciting news for fans of immersive gaming experiences: they've announced Dreadmoor, a captivating new first-person single-player action-adventure game. Drawing inspiration from the 2023 hit Dredge, players will step into the role of a trawler captain navigating the mysterious and dangerous waters of the post-apocalyptic Drownlands. In Dreadmoor, you'll not only fish from your trawler but also engage in thrilling exploration, combat monstrous creatures, craft essential items, upgrade your vessel, and unravel the unexpected mysteries that lie within this submerged world. Currently in development for PC, you can get a glimpse of what's to come by checking out the announcement trailer above and browsing the first screenshots in the gallery below.

Dream Dock provides a detailed glimpse into the world 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 encourages scavenging for resources and exploration both above and below the water's surface.
