Castaways

Angeldust is a small-scale indie open-world action-adventure RPG released in 2015. It has some MMO-like features, but with no major publisher or promotional events and being several years post-launch, its active player base is likely quite low, perhaps in the low hundreds daily. Indie open-world multiplayer games tend to have niche but steady follower bases if they offer persistent worlds and cross-platform play.

Castaways by Branch.GG is a sandbox adventure game available for web browsers, released in 2022. It has had some viral moments on social media and Twitch since launch, but as a small studio release, its daily player base is likely modest, in the low thousands, and has probably stabilized post-launch. Ongoing development and updates may keep a core community active, but the lack of a major publisher or wide platform presence constrains larger growth.
