The Submerged Land is almost ready to open its waters to a small group of early explorers.
On the 12th of January, we will begin selecting players for the Early Pre-Alpha Playtest, which will be a focused look at one location, one storyline, and the core systems that shape the DREADMOOR gaming experience.
On the 12th of January, we will be inviting players to take part in a pre-alpha playtest, giving them an early look at DREADMOOR and the core game mechanics.
Important: this is a Pre-Alpha playtest, and thus is a very early look at the game. So, for those who are looking to join, please keep in mind that bugs and crashes are possible, you will come across unfinished content, and finally, the game will run (and hopefully smoothly), but we’ve not focused on optimisation, so the system requirements and overall load on your hardware will be high.

Platform: Steam (PC)
Language: English only
NDA: Yes, an NDA is needed

Intel Core i7-9750H

More information can be found in the Playtest FAQs and Pre-Alpha Playtest Features sections. Your feedback during this period will help us shape the future of DREADMOOR, so we want you to be completely honest with us regarding your feelings for the game during this playtest period.
Do I need to sign an NDA? Yes, but we've streamlined this process, and it will be handled in the game. When you first open the playtest, an NDA pop-up will appear (this will only appear when you first launch the game). As an NDA is often the make-or-break for people choosing to join a playtest, we want to highlight the most important part:
There will be a restriction on sharing or distributing content from the playtest; this will be in bold.
That said, please make sure to read everything carefully, as you should always know what you are signing.
Other good to know points will be:
The "Agree" button is disabled until you have read through the NDA.
There will be no "accidentally" agreeing.
Selecting Decline will close the game.
If you have any questions regarding the NDA, please leave them in the comments section, and we’ll reply to you directly. Or, you can contact us via our Discord server (publicly or privately) if you prefer.
Will my in-game progress be saved after the playtest?
No, the game will be updated massively after the playtest, so progress will not be retained for future playtests / demos / betas / the full game.
What languages are supported?
The playtest will be available in English only.
Where can I submit my feedback?
We will provide a Google form for you to fill out, and the link will be shared with the playtesters.
What platform will the Playtest run on?
The playtest is exclusively for PC-Windows.
What are the recommended PC specifications?
