Digital Vortex Entertainment and Dream Dock Launch DREADMOOR

Digital Vortex Entertainment has partnered with developer Dream Dock Studio to publish DREADMOOR, a horror fishing adventure set in a haunting post-apocalyptic world. This collaboration aims to bring the game’s eerie vision and distinctive atmosphere to players globally, marking a significant step in its development.

Since its unveiling in April 2025, DREADMOOR has garnered significant interest, particularly from fans of dark, immersive gaming experiences. Within just ten days of its reveal, the game amassed over 40,000 wishlists on Steam, positioning it among the platform’s top 600 most-wishlisted titles despite minimal marketing efforts. With this early momentum, the team is targeting a full release in Q4 2026.

A Unique Gaming Experience

DREADMOOR blends horror, survival, and fishing into a unique first-person experience. Players will explore a submerged wasteland, uncovering secrets both on land and in the depths of the ocean. They will encounter otherworldly creatures while fishing, craft essential survival gear, and navigate the psychological challenges presented by a ravaged world. The game draws inspiration from titles like DREDGE, Metro Exodus, and Resident Evil, combining cinematic storytelling with eerie exploration and suspenseful mechanics.

“We’re building an IP that goes far beyond fishing in the apocalypse,” said Rostislav Fedorov, CEO of Dream Dock Studio. “Partnering with Digital Vortex Entertainment allows us to scale production, refine the vision, and bring DREADMOOR’s madness to a global audience.”

Creative Collaboration

Alex Izotov, CEO of Digital Vortex Entertainment, expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, “At Digital Vortex Entertainment, we were captivated by Dream Dock’s clear vision for the game and their approach to creating a haunting fusion inspired by Lovecraftian horror and post-nuclear survival. It’s a unique and powerful project, and we’re excited to help bring their dark and beautiful world to a wide audience.”

The collaboration signifies a commitment to delivering a compelling gaming experience that reflects the creative ambitions of both companies. As DREADMOOR progresses towards its release, anticipation continues to build within the gaming community, promising a chilling adventure that explores themes of survival and the unknown.

This partnership not only enhances the visibility of DREADMOOR but also sets the stage for innovative storytelling and gameplay that could redefine the horror genre within video games.
