Games like DREADMOOR (2026 video game)
Last checked: · Public sources listed below
I am not padding this into a list of ten fishing games. The names below are the ones a cited article uses next to DREADMOOR. If a game is missing, it is because I did not find that comparison, not because I judged it unworthy.
Dredge is the common one. Black Salt Games developed it, Team17 published it, and it launched on 30 March 2023 for Windows and macOS. It is single-player and played from above the boat. The full split is on the versus page, and the first sentence there is that DREADMOOR is not a sequel.
Sea of Thieves enters through a Rock Paper Shotgun headline that described DREADMOOR as Dredge with that game’s first-person sailing. The shared piece is the camera and the boat, not the studio and not the player count. Sea of Thieves is a multiplayer live game. DREADMOOR is not.
Raft shows up because Vice quoted Reddit readers who reached for it. A raft, a hunger loop, and a hostile sea are the comparison those comments made. I am not adding Sunless Sea or a modern fishing simulator. Nobody in the sources I used put them in the same sentence as this game.
| Game | Why it was mentioned | Shared | Not shared |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dredge | Store readers and press headlines | Dark fishing, a boat, horror | Studio, year, camera, Mac support |
| Sea of Thieves | A Rock Paper Shotgun framing | First-person sailing | Multiplayer, live service, Microsoft |
| Raft | Reddit comments quoted by Vice | A small craft, survival | Tone, fishing focus, studio |

Questions
What should I play if I want co-op?
Not DREADMOOR. Sea of Thieves is the multiplayer name in this table. DREADMOOR’s store page has no co-op tag.
Why only three?
Because three is how many sourced comparisons I have. A longer list would be names I chose myself.
