What the game is
How to Fish is a 1-4 player physics-based fishing simulator from Dazed Games, released August 20, 2026 on Steam.
The setup is a comedy survival loop: while drinking and boating you crash onto a small island, and to work your way back home you have to learn how to fish.
It sits in Action/Casual/Indie/Simulation — co-op friendly and light on systems, heavy on physics gags.
Core gameplay loop
Fish, kill fish, sell fish: you start with no gear or weapons and earn money to buy better rods, weapons and equipment.
Complete quests and fight bosses to progress to new islands, each with more dangerous creatures and better gear.
Long-term goals include collecting the rare variant of every fish, hitting trick shots for bonus money, and gambling for bigger payouts.
Up to 4 players can join the same island, making the progression loop a co-op grind (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-08-25).
Price and availability
The game costs $4.95 at launch (38% off the $7.99 base price) on Steam.
There is a free demo available to try the first islands before buying.
No redeem codes are currently distributed through official channels — the game is bought directly on Steam (checked 2026-08-25).
