Book of Travels

8BitMMO is a persistent-world indie MMO first released in 2015, focused on building and sandbox multiplayer gameplay. As a niche, indie title that is nearly a decade old, it has a much smaller active community compared to its launch, but may still retain a dedicated base of dozens to a few hundred daily players.

"Book of Travels" is a niche indie "tiny MMO" released in late 2021 by Might and Delight. Despite intriguing mechanics and persistent world features, it has struggled with low player retention, evidenced by very low concurrent counts on platforms like Steam over the last year. As a result, the daily active player base is currently estimated to be quite small—likely in the low hundreds.
