DREADMOOR, the dark first-person fishing adventure developed by Dream Dock and published by Digital Vortex Entertainment, is available in Steam Early Access on Windows PC since Monday, November 9, 2026 (the official launch announcement was posted on Steam at 1:41 p.m. Paris time). Before launch, the developer said it had passed 750,000 Steam wishlists. On November 10 at about 12:35 p.m. Paris time, the Steam page showed a “Very Positive” rating, with 83% of 478 user reviews positive. This is an Early Access game: it is not finished and the developer expects it to stay in Early Access for about 6 to 12 months.
What kind of game is it?
According to the official Steam page, DREADMOOR takes place in the Submerged Lands, a world flooded after a catastrophe caused by human error. You captain an old fishing trawler, catch fish to sell to the region’s mutant traders, explore abandoned buildings, caves and shipwrecks, craft bait, harpoons, medicines and survival tools, and upgrade your boat (engine, propeller, hull, spotlight, afterburner, fuel rack). Mutated creatures attack in real time, at sea and on land. It is single-player only.
What Early Access includes, and what is planned
Now (per the developer): the complete core gameplay loop, one major region, the original story and a wide variety of fish species and mutations. After the story, you can keep exploring, fishing, collecting rare specimens and upgrading your boat.
Planned for the full release: new areas with new adventures, more fish species, new fishing mechanics and further boat upgrades, with smaller content updates during Early Access.
Price: the developer says the game costs less during Early Access and that the price will go up at full release (no date or amount announced).
Price, launch discount and Supporter Pack
Price on the French Steam store on November 10: €18.44 instead of €20.49 (-10%, introductory offer ending November 23, 2026; Steam does not show the exact time). The official price is $19.99; Steam applies regional pricing, so check the price shown in your store.
Optional “Early Access Supporter Pack” DLC: $4.99 before discounts, six purely cosmetic items for your trawler (two dashboard figurines, two flags, two ship wheels): https://store.steampowered.com/app/5307520/DREADMOOR_Supporter_Pack

Bugs can be reported in the Steam discussions or on the official Discord.
