Seventy-seven people. That’s the number on the Steam new releases chart this week — and it may be the bar to beat.

The Witch’s Disciples, a lightweight RPG from developer Bloom Flash and publisher Kagura Games, appears on the New Releases chart with 77 concurrent players as of April 4, 2026. That number is up 10% from its last tracking window — a modest climb for a game that launched just one day prior. The pitch is straightforward: a young man named Kyle gets rescued by a witch named Mireille, falls for her, and decides to study magic under her tutelage. When fellow pupil Glenn suffers an accident, Kyle sets out with Mireille on a dungeon-crawling adventure to gather ingredients for medicine. Fight monsters, gain experience, learn spells, rescue the rival pupil, impress the witch. Classic stuff. Kagura Games is pricing entry at $10.39 / €7.40, a 20% launch discount off the $12.99 / €9.25 base price. Zero user reviews have come in so far — no positive, no negative, nothing. And yet 77 is the number to beat this week. That tells you everything about the current release window. No blockbusters, no viral indies, no surprise breakouts clogging the charts. Just a discounted RPG about a lovestruck mage and enough players to fill a modest Discord server. The player count is climbing, the discount is live, and the throne — such as it is — belongs to Bloom Flash for now.
