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.
