A field guide written by someone who kept getting lost.

The site exists because Dreadmoor's demo is full of small, specific questions: which bait a Softgrazer wants, where the Dry Dock fuse box is, why the gate will not open, and what a Torn Page actually does. Those answers should be easy to find without scrubbing a video or decoding a spreadsheet.

We cover the demo thoroughly and keep the Early Access pages tied to confirmed information. The goal is not to publish every possible page about the game. It is to make the pages that exist accurate, readable and connected to each other.

How the data is checked

Fish levels, size classes, stamina, tension, bait shares, habitat counts, prices, upgrade costs and recipe lists come from the October 2026 demo build (26140998) and its in-game data. Release dates, prices, platforms and system requirements come from the official Steam page, Dream Dock announcements and publisher materials.

Where a value is an estimate or a planning aid, we label it. Where the demo data is incomplete or locked, we say so instead of filling the gap with a guess. A demo value is not a promise about the Early Access build.

Sources we cross-check

• Dreadmoor on Steam — release date, price, features, languages and system requirements.
• Dream Dock — developer announcements and game description.
• IGN preview — hands-on context for the fishing loop and world.
• GameWatcher — release and platform reporting.
• Checkpoint Gaming preview — combat and exploration impressions.

Updates

The guide is updated when the game changes or a confirmed announcement lands. The date at the bottom of each major page reflects the last editorial pass. If Early Access changes a value, the page should change with it.
