The Early Access for Dreadmoor is finally here, and we can all have a little peek at the gameplay Dreadmoor will have
The date has finally come, and PC gamers are now able to set out on the voyage to see just what Dreadmoor is going to offer up. Not as a full release yet, but with the Early Access to the game that Dream Dock has for us all as you read this. It has been a fun little ride to get here, and there has been a lot to see in the dark waters of Dreadmoor up to now, but that part is over. Those brave enough to head into these uncharted waters can experience the horrors and take in some mutated fishing as we head into the new week out there. As long as you are okay with getting a game that is not fully finished and will have to be updated along the way. That is the nature of this beast. You are lucky you do not have to wait until next year to experience any of the game.
Just like all Early Access games out there, Dreadmoor will offer up a taste of the game, but not be its final form. The final version of the game is slated to be six to twelve months out from this Early Access, so there is a bit of a light at the end of the tunnel. That said, it also looks as if we are all going to have a full experience to have with Dreadmoor in this form, as it will have the full story, as is, for us to experience. Along with that, all of the core gameplay for the fishing, sailing, repairs, and fighting all of the other horrors that are lurking in the waters. We are just going to see as more content is added along the way from the Early Access, bugs get ironed out, and then some of the things that might work on paper but not in practice are refined a bit. So, this is more than just an over-sized demo as the Early Access games usually are. Even if it does feel a little odd to give the full story away as we wait for all of the content in the game to be finalized. It is what it is, and you can make the choice to pull up anchor right now.
Dreadmoor — Early Access Launch Trailer
Dreadmoor, the dark first-person fishing adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world from developer Dream Dock and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment, one of the top 60 most-wishlisted games on Steam, is now available in Early Access for PC.
Venture out onto the waters of the cursed Submerged Lands, where a catastrophe has twisted everything in it beyond human comprehension. Take the helm of a rickety old fishing boat, explore the haunted estuary, and enlist the help of the area’s mutant bait shop owners and their half-mad ship’s engineer.
Arm yourself with the weapons of an angler: rod, reel, and a selection of specialized lures. Seek out the feeding grounds for the Submerged Lands’ bizarre and dangerous fish. Set your line if you dare – these fish are bloodthirsty, but the more ravenous and razor-toothed they are, the better the price they’ll fetch back at the shop.
Fill up your hold, then head back to sell and process your fish, refuel and refit your boat, and perhaps get a few hours of sleep. Remember not to stay out on the water after dark, for there are things that lurk beneath the waves that even the most skilled anglers wouldn’t want to tangle with.
Use parts of the mutant fish you catch to craft upgraded lures, and convert materials salvaged from wrecked ships into upgraded components for your boat in the dry dock. Add better armor, upgrade the engine, and increase the capacity of your hold – you’ll need every advantage you can get if you’re going to survive and thrive in these treacherous waters.
Dreadmoor’s Early Access version features the full core gameplay experience with the complete storyline and a variety of fish species and mutations to discover. After completing story content, freely explore to continue fishing and upgrading the boat and equipment. Dream Dock anticipates Dreadmoor’s Early Access period will last six to 12 months, with new content to be added during this time, and the game will be available at a lower price during Early Access.
Dreadmoor is available now in Steam Early Access on PC. The game supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish – Spain, Portuguese – Brazil, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Polish, Russian, and Japanese language text.
