How do you track diseases in DREADMOOR (2026 video game)
Last checked: · Public sources listed below
The public demo material reviewed for this guide does not document a player disease panel. That is a limit of the available evidence, rather than proof that every Early Access interface has been checked. Sea Blight is the illness in the fiction: found before the flood, used for medicine and engineering, then changed by the water so it spreads through water, fog, and living tissue. The cited walkthroughs use the journal for jobs and repairs; they do not provide a symptom-screen path or cure timer.
The progression writers describe is exposure, then a mind that frays first, then a partial change that keeps the body alive while judgment goes, then a full feral turn. The game shows that with lines from people around you, including talk about gills that have not grown yet. Those sources do not document a player meter.
The practical advice in the demo guides is to limit exposure to dangerous areas. Spend less time in fouled water and fog, do not wander far from a settlement after dark, and clear polyps off the hull when the Dry Dock tools exist. Whether the player character can actually catch Sea Blight, whether a cure item exists, and whether a partial change is a state you can play, are all unpublished. I am not filling those in.
For the search “how do you track diseases,” the supported answer is that no tracker path is established by these public demo sources. The official developer diary explains the illness as worldbuilding; it does not provide a player status-screen tutorial. Later Early Access evidence should take precedence over an older demo description.

Questions
Which menu lists my symptoms?
The checked demo guides do not document a symptoms menu. They describe NPC dialogue and quest-journal entries instead.
Is Sea Blight the same as a status effect?
The official diary describes the world’s plague. Whether it is a player-facing tracked effect is not established by these sources.
