Evaluation

Dreadweave entered Early Access on July 24, 2026 as an explicitly unfinished game. The developer, DeadGrass Games, has been actively and consistently updating it since launch, shipping patch updates on July 31, August 11, and September 1, 2026 — roughly every two to three weeks. Before launch, in a December 26, 2025 development update, the developer laid out a clear content roadmap: the full game will feature four major acts, each containing approximately 10 quests, for a total story that goes far beyond what is currently available. The current version ends with a free-roam phase after the tenth quest, standing in for story content that hasn't been written yet. The skill system similarly reflects work in progress: only 16 of 40 planned skills are implemented. Post-launch updates have been substantial, adding new quests (the tenth quest "Time Served" arrived in Update 0.12.8 on September 1, 2026), new weapons, armor, gear, combat AI improvements, new map locations, and system reworks. The developer actively solicits community feedback through Steam and Discord and has maintained a high communication cadence throughout development. There is no indication that development is slowing down or at risk. The team has grown, updates are frequent, and the developer's own stated plans make clear the game has a long content road ahead before it is considered complete.

Evidence

Update 0.12.8 adds the tenth quest 'Time Served', new gear, balance overhauls, and bug fixes — the most recent developer communication as of the assessment date, showing active development.

About this game

You find yourself trapped in a sealed-off town deep in the Far North. A secret experiment has gone catastrophically wrong, shattering reality into two realms: our world and the Other Side.

Outside your underground base, enemies wait around every corner. Explore the city, collect resources, craft gear - but remember: panic is more dangerous than bullets. A creature hunts you by tracking your heartbeat. The higher your pulse, the closer IT gets.

Begin your journey as a lone operative: upgrade your equipment, fortify your shelter, master both worlds, and fight for survival - until you unravel the city’s darkest secret.

Big City

A vast, snow-covered Soviet-era city with changing weather, day and night cycles, cunning enemies, ever-changing - and no two raids are ever alike. Every trip into the city is a unique experience. Get out in time… or lose everything.

Gather and Survive

Explore the massive city to scavenge for loot - ammo, medicine, gear, resources, and rare items. Bring it all back to the bunker and use it wisely to upgrade your equipment and shelter.

The Other Side

Battles aren't just in the real world - you can enter The Other Side and face a terrifying enemy face to face. Time here is limited by your air supply, but only here can you find the most valuable resources.

A Monster That Senses Your Fear

Watch your heartbeat - it can give you away! Once you panic, there's no escaping THE ENTITY. It's already on your trail. Can you stay calm when it matters most?

Level Up and Prepare

Earn experience and resources to upgrade your gear. Grow your abilities through a branching skill tree and shape your own playstyle. Every raid makes your character stronger.

Complete Missions and Uncover Secrets

Take on quests, talk to survivors, and piece together the truth behind the catastrophe. Which side will you choose - the military or the scientists? Or is the truth hidden in The Other Side?
