Dazed Games is a two-person Swedish indie making physics-based multiplayer games. Co-founders Melvin Olsson and Carl-Vilhelm Johansson released How to Fish on Steam on 20 August 2026.
History
The pair studied game development in Skövde after programming school in Gothenburg. They built Out of Hand: Deluxe as students, entered Sweden Game Startup in 2023, and founded Dazed Games AB in 2024. A paid version of Out of Hand launched in summer 2025. Landfall later made a project investment in How to Fish; Dazed kept the company and the game.
Games
Out of Hand: Deluxe (2025) is a 2–8 player party game. How to Fish is a 1–4 player physics fishing co-op: crash on an island, catch (and shoot) sea life, sell it, and work your way home. Dazed develops and publishes both. Console and Mac versions of How to Fish are planned, with no date yet.
Now
How to Fish launched on 20 August 2026 and is the studio’s focus. Support runs through Discord; the team is not hiring. They remain part of Science Park Skövde’s startup programme while based in the Gothenburg area.
