About This Game

Watch Grass Grow Simulator is a game about watching grass grow.

That’s the whole thing.

You load into a quiet space with a clear view and a patch of grass in front of you. No rush. Over the course of about eight real-world weeks, it changes, slowly enough that you’ll often wonder if it changed at all.

You start checking it more than you meant to. Just to be sure.

There’s nothing to manage and nothing you can do wrong. You just sit with it. Watch it. Notice how certain blades start to stand a little taller. How the patch looks fuller than it did before, even if you can’t quite say when that happened.

Once you notice it, it’s hard to stop noticing.

It’s calm and quiet and honestly a little difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t spent time with it. The game doesn’t demand attention, but it rewards patience in a very specific way. The longer you stay, the more certain you become that yes, it is different now.

If you see it through to the end, the result is unmistakable. You’ll remember what it looked like at the beginning. You’ll know how long you waited.

I don’t think there was another way this could have worked.
