Just look at Crosscode.

Not officially a browser game but it uses nw.js (a framework similar to Electron) and the demo is playable in a browser.

It is a full, top down action-RPG with 30-80h of content that I highly recommend. The devs made some live streams during development.

crosscode uses haxe (kha?) : see https://www.reddit.com/r/CrossCode/comments/g0hqhs/how_cross...

they use nw.js because the haxe code base can compile into javascript (and the rendering framework Kha has a webgl render backend for it).

No, Crosscode only uses Haxe/Kha for the console ports, maybe only for switch. The original PC version just uses impactjs.

The video your link contains only explains how the switch port was possible, since the switch has no available webbrowser applet or is too slow or has not all features needed.
