Dune: Awakening

Fear the Night is a survival horror game released in 2019 by Snail Games USA, known for a few persistent-world titles. The game never achieved mainstream popularity, and it has seen minimal updates or community activity in recent years. Based on its niche status, age, and developer, it's likely to have a very small but persistent player base, mainly dedicated fans or new curiosity-driven installs. Player activity is estimated to be very low (dozens daily).

As of late August 2025, Dune: Awakening had approximately 14,000 concurrent players, reflecting a significant decline from its peak of over 189,000 concurrent players shortly after launch in June 2025. This decrease is attributed to factors such as player burnout, game design issues, and technical problems. Despite these challenges, the developers remain optimistic, citing strong player retention and a 10-year development roadmap that includes plans to explore new planets and regions within the Dune universe.
