Automated estimate from Coilr-tracked playtime and Steam reviews (Coilr doesn't verify individual reviews), not a paid placement. How this is calculated
Dark Hours player count
92players40% over 6 days
Latest reading · average in view 116
This game's player count is measured about every 11 hours. Steam allows a limited number of requests per day, so the busiest games are measured every few minutes and quieter ones less often. The shape of the curve is real, the fine detail between points isn't recorded.
