Go Behind The Scenes in New Developer Video for ‘DREADMOOR’ [Watch]
DREADMOOR made an appearance at the Day of the Devs Summer Game Fest Edition Showcase, with developer Dream Dock and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the dark fishing adventure.
In the new trailer, Dream Dock CEO Rostislav Fedorov explains that the boat is a lifeline in Submerged Lands – but you’re not stuck on it. You can explore this post-apocalyptic land on foot, meet the survivors who have made it their home, learn about their lives – then gather wits and head back out on the water.
Set out in a rickety fishing boat across a plague-ravaged bayou, where the Sea Blight has twisted all forms of life and developed a new, dangerous ecosystem. Scavenge for supplies amidst the wreckage of doomed vessels, and craft specialized fishing gear to hunt the vicious denizens of Submerged Lands. Beware, though: for a big enough fish, anything looks like a meal – including you.
Fill up the ship’s hold with precious predatory fish, then sell them to Gill and Bozur at the local tackle shop – it’s hard to miss, perched on a set of behemoth crab legs. Or dissect the catch and use valuable parts to fashion more advanced bait, then fuel up the ship and head out on the water to seek ever more dangerous prey.
“We’re honored to be part of this summer’s Day of the Devs showcase,” Fedorov said. “In addition to being game developers, we’re all huge fishermen at Dream Dock, and we’re hoping to share that passion – in our own twisted way – with DREADMOOR.”
DREADMOOR is still slated for release later this year on Steam.

Explore a Mysterious Island for Lost Riches in Co-Op Horror Adventure ‘Treasure Cove’ [Trailer]
Not to be confused with the 1992 educational sidescroller, Team5 has revealed the Steam page for its upcoming co-op title, Treasure Cove. Launching later this fall, this survival horror title sees you and your friends set out to explore a mysterious island in search of lost treasures. Of course, it’s never than simple, as exploring the island reveals more than you or your friends were expecting.
Details are still to come on the gameplay loop, but the basics for Treasure Cove have you and your squad navigating the island with a map and proximity voice chat in classic treasure-hunting style, with various gadgets to assist you in your search. Once you think you’ve found the spot, you start digging, and if you’ve read the map correctly, you’re rewarded with riches.
But as you might expect, digging up the treasure, extracting it and making it back to your boat isn’t so simple. Creatures are lurking in the darkness, and once they spot you, you’re on the run. Your only way of defense is to use your light, but even then, when you’re lugging around cursed treasure, you’re not safe for long. You and your team will need to keep quiet in order to avoid detection and survive.
If you do make it out alive, you can sell your treasures and buy better equipment for the next hunt.
Currently, the devteam is planning to have a playtest in the future, for which you can head over to the official site to sign up for the mailing list for when it arrives.
