How to Fish

How to Fish is developed and published by Dazed Games, a two-person Swedish indie studio. It released on August 20, 2026, for Windows via Steam, supporting one to four players. A boating trip gone wrong leaves the group stranded on a small island, and the only way home is to figure out how to fish, using whatever chaotic methods actually work.

Über das Spiel

How to Fish builds its identity on physics-driven silliness rather than a calm, traditional angling loop. Every cast reliably hooks something, so the real challenge becomes killing the catch using knives, brass knuckles, or guns, since the method used directly affects how much a fish sells for afterward. Trick shots, launching creatures through the air, and outright gunfights with oversized boss fish push the fishing premise into genuinely unpredictable territory.

Progress carries a light structure underneath the chaos. Players start with no gear or weapons and earn money by selling their catch, then reinvest that cash into better equipment and unlock new islands filled with tougher creatures and higher-value gear. Rare fish variants and boss encounters give completionists something to chase, while gambling earnings adds an extra layer of risk for players who want to push their luck further. The game’s four-player online co-op turns most sessions into shared chaos, with reviewers frequently describing runs that end in far more mayhem than actual fishing.
