Landfall Launches Evil Landfall to Fund and Advise Indie Developers

The new label will back small, social physics games while letting creators keep their IP.

Overview

  • Evil Landfall, introduced during Landfall Day on Wednesday, opened talks with external teams for project-based funding and guidance.
  • The seven-person group is based in Stockholm, led by CEO Kirsten-Lee Naidoo, and has operated as a separate entity for about three years.
  • The label plans to invest up to $1 million in a few games each year, stays very hands off, and says it does not seek to own IP.
  • Funding targets games with short development cycles that are playful, physics-driven, and built for friends to jump in together.
  • Evil Landfall has already backed REPO, How To Fish, and Voidigo and took equity in Voidigo studio Semiwork, reflecting a wider trend of developer-run labels like Innersloth’s Outersloth.
