Set up a PlayStation controller on PC

  1. Update DREADMOOR in Steam before comparing controls.
  2. For DualSense, begin with the native support added in Update #1.
  3. For DualShock 4, open the game's Steam Properties, choose Controller and enable Steam Input, as directed by the developer.
  4. If switching from a gamepad to a mouse fails at a water-gate sluice, install Update #2, which specifically addresses that transition.

Update #3 also adds a boat-camera auto-rotation setting. If camera movement is the problem, check that option separately from controller detection.

Developer Updates #1–#3, including controller support and sluice fixes.

Check single-player and handheld expectations

The developer FAQ describes DREADMOOR as single-player only, and Steam lists Single-player. For a shared co-op session, the checked release does not meet that requirement.

The October Demo announcement described work on Steam Deck playability and stated that the game had not yet received a Verified rating. That historical Demo statement cannot establish today's full-release performance or certification. Check the current Steam compatibility panel before choosing the handheld route.
