Dreadful River

Dreadful River is about sailing a raft down a winding river in search of a cure for a sickness spreading through the realm. You gather old, otherworldly stones in the hope of saving the kingdom, while protecting your party from enemies and uncovering the truth behind the legends of the Tales of the fallen Stars.

Follow the river

Steer your raft through changing scenery and landscapes. Each run follows a new river course. Weather and the day-and-night cycle affect what you can see, so watch your supplies and stay alert as you travel.

Defend your raft

Enemies attack from the shore and the water. Archers, javelin throwers, spellcasters and other threats target your vessel and crew. Choose whether to charge or evade enemies by floating past while they sleep. Creatures stalk you in dark dungeons, while wild animals and dreads hunt in daylight; adversaries may also ambush your party.

Build and improve your crew

Manage your crew and improve their strength, abilities and gear. Hire Archers, Mages, Spearman and other crew members at settlements and mercenary camps, and discover new crew member classes along the way. You can also increase your raft’s crew capacity and add siege engines.

Earn fight experience by conquering forts, clearing dungeons and mines, sinking ships or fighting on land. Use it to improve your crew’s abilities.

Gather and trade

Collect flotsam and drops from defeated enemies, or buy items in settlements along the river. Merchants offer different selections, prices, trading choices and unique items. You can also find powerful allies, explore mysteries along the shores and gather resources as you search for the cure.
