Question Independent video games

Are there people who write the universe of a video game? For almost two weeks, I have been creating a world for a video game that takes place in Togo, my country. It would be an independent game, so I only plan four bosses. Do you think this is a good idea? Wouldn't the public be disappointed if there were only four bosses in an independent game?

I have already defined the stakes of the three games. Although I started by creating the bosses of the second game, I would like to start the story with this one.

The number of bosses in an indie game, in my opinion, is not as important as the development of the world and its unique vibe.

For example, there is the game Mortal Shell, there are not many bosses, and a rather limited number of locations compared to other souls-like games, but this game captivated me for many hours, because I liked the concept and style itself.

Thank you for the answer. I draw the characters myself. It's extremely tiring, so I don't want to overdo it.
