Scum

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).

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.
