Text-Based games on Steam

Text-Based on Steam: 5,748 released games, 2,057 in the last 12 months, 2,075 announced and still unreleased. Median lifetime reviews: 10. 50% of them never reached 10 reviews. Free to play: 14%. Text-Based is a Steam store tag, applied by the developer and refined by players; a game carries several tags at once, so niche counts overlap and do not add up to the size of the Steam catalogue.
