Are these analytics good ?

Are these good analytics for the demo of my horror game ?

It depends on how long the game has been on itch

I uploaded it 90 days ago.

I don't think those analytics are good if you uploaded it 90 days ago but things will start to pick up eventually, try uploading it to a game jam. 
Good Luck 😊

I will try to advertise my game before I make the full game.

I don't know much about game jams. Can you please tell me about them?

look for an ongoing jam you like and is related to your game: https://itch.io/jams
maybe this will help: https://itch.io/blog/6295/want-to-get-into-game-jams-heres-how

Personally, this may be a hot take but… analytics, in general, aren’t good unless you need to care about them to support your livelihood. Outside of that they tend to have bad psychological effects on people, regardless of whether the numbers themselves are high or low.

In other words: I don’t think it matters, and in the long-term you’re probably better off ignoring the analytics tab entirely.

Well I don't do game development to earn my livelihood( I don't do any job. I am still a student and game development was my hobby so I decided to do some part time job) so it's not much of a problem when the analytics for a week or month aren't that good.

They look great to me!

It seems your project is still getting a handful of eyes on a daily basis. It would make any indie feel appreciate it :D

Thank you!

Even I think these analytics are better than that of my first game(Usually 0 views and browser plays daily for that so I just stopped checking it's analytics), but they are still not that good as I haven't advertised my game.

I don't mean to be negative but I don't think so. Hopefully things start to pick up for you eventually. Good luck.

Even I hope there is a positive change till I develop the full game.

2 ratings is good. Usually takes me years to get 2 ratings on Itch. Even then, it's the same person giving me a 3 star rating on every game.

Thank you for your honest.

I saw your games and most I f them have only 1 3 star rating.

Your games are quite cool though
