What it is

An online game in which everyone plays a snail, crawling the low-poly world of Snearth, picking up hats and turning up to monthly snail parties.

What players liked

Players praise its unique, relaxing exploration and the surprising satisfaction of its slow-paced journey, despite its unusual concept.

The catch

There is little to do beyond crawling around, and solo play is punishingly slow.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 98% positive, but with 1,261 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
