Castaways

Dragon Awaken is a browser-based RPG/strategy game released in 2017. It had moderate popularity at launch but is now aging, and player numbers have declined, especially as newer titles enter the market. As a niche title without a major publisher, it likely sustains a small but loyal community, primarily from browser game enthusiasts.

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.
