Escape Room's popularity amongst developers
This chart displays the games released over the years with the Escape Room tag and the percentage of total Steam releases they represent. The releases count conveys the quantity of games published on Steam each year. It usually follows the increasing amount of Steam games released.
The percentage, on the other hand, gives a better view of the trend a tag follows. It shows if, in proportion, the Escape Room tag is getting more or less popular. The Review chart will tell us if this trend is a good thing (i.e. players interest is increasing, tag is undercrowded) or if it's the opposite.
The Escape Room tag has peaked in 2022, with 59 games released. The popularity of the tag is in a range between 0.25% in 2011 and 0.01% in 2021.
