Brooklyn, New York, May 29th 2026 9:00am - Don’t Touch the Snail is out now.
Available on PC via Steam
Don't Touch the Snail is a desktop overlay game where a slow, relentless snail follows your cursor across your actual computer. If it ever touches your cursor, your run ends permanently. No retries. No restarts. The main gameplay locks, your final time is recorded on the leaderboards, and you can never compete again.
The concept has already reached over 20 million views across YouTube Shorts ahead of release, with players attempting to survive as long as possible while the snail slowly closes in. The game has also attracted over 15,000 Wishlists on Steam leading up to launch.
The snail exists directly on your desktop while you work, browse, or try to ignore it. It never stops moving. The longer you survive, the higher your time climbs, but one small mistake ends everything.
Inspired by the viral “immortal snail” thought experiment, Don’t Touch the Snail turns a simple internet idea into something persistent and unavoidable.
