Daedalic Entertainment

Profile updated May 2026

This profile is public because indielist links Daedalic Entertainment to 46 published, evidence-backed indie games. That portfolio evidence does not classify the publisher itself as independent and is not an official statement from the publisher.

Daedalic Entertainment is a game publisher with an evidence-backed indie game portfolio on indielist. indielist tracks 46 titles on its label, together holding 220,449 Steam reviews. Its biggest title by Steam reviews is Barotrauma, with 62,346 reviews (2023). It has published games from 30 studios, including FakeFish, Mimimi Games, Indoor Astronaut, Daedalic Entertainment and Osmotic Studios and 25 more. That averages about 4,792 Steam reviews per title across the label. For a developer deciding whether to pitch, the first thing to weigh is portfolio fit: which genres and what scale of project Daedalic Entertainment has actually shipped and supported to launch, all of which indielist lays out on this page alongside its studio relationships and signing history. This profile sits inside indielist's relationship graph of studios, publishers, and games, so studios can judge fit before pitching and investors can trace the label's signing activity across genres and years, the kind of publisher to studio to game connections that are slow to reconstruct from storefront pages alone.

Daedalic Entertainment's catalog on indielist spans 46 titles holding 220,449 Steam reviews in total, an average of about 4,800 per release, and its most-reviewed entries are Barotrauma, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Unrailed!, Deponia. For a developer weighing a pitch, that published track record is the clearest signal of what the label can actually take to market: which genres it has shipped, the review volume its releases tend to reach, and whether that scale is a realistic fit for the project on offer. Pitching a cozy puzzle game to a label whose catalog is all hardcore shooters is a fast rejection, and the portfolio makes that mismatch obvious before any email is sent. indielist shows the white-box sales estimate behind each of those titles too, so the publisher's commercial output can be judged on visible figures rather than on reputation or a press-release headline alone.

Daedalic Entertainment has published work from 30 studios (FakeFish, Mimimi Games, Indoor Astronaut, Daedalic Entertainment and Osmotic Studios and 25 more), and indielist records each pairing as an edge in its publisher-to-studio-to-game graph. An investor can use that to trace which developers a label has backed and how its roster has grown release by release, while a developer can check whether the publisher already works with teams of a similar size or genre before sending a pitch, which is a strong hint about whether a cold approach is worth the effort. Each linked studio page in turn lists that studio's full portfolio and its other publisher relationships, so the network around Daedalic Entertainment can be explored outward in either direction rather than read as a flat, disconnected list, and the same graph powers the "similar publishers" suggestions that help a developer build a realistic shortlist instead of pitching one name at a time.
