About Touch Grass, Pls!
A little patch of outdoors, right at your desk
Everyone keeps telling you to touch grass. Fine. Touch Grass, Pls! is a free, single-player hill of grass that follows your mouse. Your hand combs the blades aside, and they sway and spring back behind it. Hold the button for a wider trail, or just sit with the breeze.
Wait for rare visitors
Now and then, something comes to the hill: a green frog, a honeybee, a warbler, a white egret, or a cricket at dusk. Far more rarely, a golden frog, a flamingo, or forest spirits glowing under the trees at night. And if you're very patient, a dragon glides across the night sky, or a phoenix by day. Catch the small ones and let them go; touch the big ones as they pass. The field guide keeps every creature you've met. The rest stay a mystery.
Your hill, your weather
Two hills, both free: The Meadow Hill, and Classic Wallpaper, a bright green hill under a deep blue sky, like a desktop picture you may remember.
Morning, Daytime, Sunset or Night, or Auto to follow your clock.
Soft, light or heavy rain, with thunder far off in the heavy rain.
Click the trees to change them: pine, oak or birch, alone or in a cluster.
Pick flowers, catch butterflies and fireflies, and sneak up on grasshoppers.
78 nature sounds: rain and thunderstorms, woodland and summer nights, beach waves and crackling fires. Loop one, shuffle them or search. No music, so you can play your own.
Your hill as a live wallpaper
Put the hill behind your desktop icons (Windows 10 and 11). Your mouse still touches the grass, and rare creatures still drop by. It pauses on its own behind maximized and full-screen windows, games, the lock screen and on battery. It runs at 30 FPS, lives in the tray, can start with Windows, and reads only your mouse, never what you type.
Become impressively qualified at doing very little
Touching grass earns Sunshine Essence, levels and 16 titles, from Indoor Kid to Grass Ascended.

Made to be left open
Focus timer: 25 + 5, 50 + 10 or your own minutes. When focus ends: "Time to touch some real grass."
Stream mode: hides the interface, adds a small caption and sends extra rare creatures for your chat to spot. They're only for viewing and earn nothing.
Safe to stream: every sound is licensed, with no Content ID claims.
Light on your PC: 60 FPS by default, 30 behind other windows, 5 when minimized. Graphics from Low to Ultra, and 100,000 to 450,000 blades of grass.
Steam Cloud saves. No ads, no pop-ups.
Still a small game at heart: a hill, a mouse and a little time to unwind.
More hills (optional DLC)
Everything above is free. To support the game, two DLC add more hills and sounds:
Grass Supporter: Pampas Hill, Golden Pampas Hill and Dandelion Hill, whose seeds fly off as you brush through, with 13 nature sounds.
Scent of Grass: Lavender, Tulip, Wheat and Poppy, Poppy and Nemophila Hills, and Rice Terraces - Mu Cang Chai from Viet Nam, with 25 nature sounds.
On their hills of flowers, a walking house strolls by now and then. Every achievement can still be earned without them.
