Temtem

Half Dead 2 is a small-scale indie multiplayer survival game released in 2019. As it is several years old, not from a major studio, and never had mainstream notoriety, its daily player base is likely low—typically under a few hundred. The game has persistent niche interest on platforms like Steam, especially during sales, but is not an MMO and doesn't sustain large populations.

Temtem is a creature-collection MMO inspired by Pokémon, released in 2022. While it started with some hype due to its online persistent world features and unique take on the genre, its active player base has dwindled since launch, as is common for indie MMOs without massive ongoing updates or expansions. Its MMO mechanics and persistent world qualify it as an MMO, but player activity is now limited mostly to dedicated fans.
