Browse every verified DREADMOOR guide: fishing, bait, crafting, boat upgrades, weapons, the October 6 demo, system requirements and release status.
DREADMOOR is a dark first-person fishing adventure in a flooded world. You sail a trawler through the Submerged Lands, catch and store fish, salvage materials, upgrade your ship, and survive real-time danger on land and water. The game is not out yet — the public Steam demo arrives October 6, 2026, and the full release is planned for Q4 2026.
⚠️ Demo (Oct 6, 2026) and full release (Q4 2026) are not the same thing
The Steam demo launches October 6, 2026. The full game is only announced for a Q4 2026 window — there is no exact release date yet. The September Open Playtest has ended, its content is historical, and playtest saves do not carry over. Exact numbers, locations, and upgrade costs in these guides will be re-verified once the demo is playable.
