The Castle Doctrine is an indie strategy/puzzle game released in 2014 by Jason Rohrer. It had a niche appeal and limited multiplayer features, with activity declining sharply over years. Due to game age, indie scope, and lack of recent major updates or promotion, the active player base is now extremely low—likely fewer than a dozen daily players.

Estimated Daily Players

~150 thousand

We estimate that Sky: Children of the Light has currently around 150k players daily.

Sky: Children of the Light is a cross-platform, socially-oriented adventure title from ThatGameCompany (creators of Journey) and published by NetEase. Launched in 2019 and consistently receiving seasonal content updates, it maintains a strong, dedicated mobile and console player base, especially in Asian markets. Its unique multiplayer instance system enables shared world experiences but does not reach the persistent, large-scale MMO threshold. Daily active players are estimated around 150,000 due to ongoing popularity and global releases.
