Ingress

Familiars.io is an indie adventure RPG released in 2020 on multiple platforms, developed by a small creator. While it has some cult following due to its similarities to classic Pokémon-style games and was notable when launched for being a lightweight online creature collector, its player base has remained small. Most indie browser RPGs of this style outside major platforms rarely sustain large daily numbers long-term, especially four years after release without ongoing active marketing or major updates.

Ingress is a location-based augmented reality game developed by Niantic and initially published with support from Google in 2013. Although it was popular at launch and influenced later Niantic games like Pokémon GO, its user base has declined over the years. However, it still maintains a niche, dedicated player community. Given its age and the presence of ongoing events, current daily active players are likely in the 20,000–40,000 range.
