Scum

Book of Demons is a single-player or limited multiplayer hack-and-slash action RPG released in 2018 by indie developer Thing Trunk. The game appeals to a niche audience and, given its age, likely retains only a small but dedicated player base. It is not supported by major expansions or large-scale online features.

Scum is a multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Gamepires and originally entered Early Access in 2018. While it is not a full MMO, it supports servers with dozens of players (up to 64 per server). The game maintains a niche but dedicated following and is frequently updated; however, it has never reached large mainstream status. Based on long-term trends of similar survival games, its daily active player base is estimated to be in the low thousands, and this estimate would hold unless a major relaunch or expansion revitalized the player base.
