Questions for you:
Fishing games with a horror twist are a growing niche. Does DREADMOOR feel genuinely tense to you (night trips, monsters attacking at sea and on land, a boat that can break down far from the docks), or is it mostly a relaxing fishing loop with a creepy coat of paint?
Fish dissection to harvest organs for crafting bait and gear: clever crafting idea, or a bit too gory for a fishing game?
Early Access currently has one major region and the full story, with more areas, fish and fishing mechanics planned over 6 to 12 months, and the studio says the price will go up at full release. Would you buy now at €18.44 (Steam France, -10% until November 23) to lock in the lower price, or wait for more content?
The first patch (Early Access Update #1, November 9 at 9:56 p.m. Paris time) already fixed several progression-blocking bugs and added native DualSense support. If you have played, did you run into a blocking bug? Do you play with a controller or mouse and keyboard?
Texts and subtitles are available in French, but full voice acting is English and Russian only. Is that enough for you?
