Ladies
and Gentleman:

Thank
you for your letter, dated December 20, 2023 (the “Comment Letter”), setting forth the comments of the staff
(the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on Snail Inc.’s
(the “Company”) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 filed with the Commission
via EDGAR on November 14, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”). The Company respectfully requested an extension until January
19, 2024 to file its response to the Staff’s Comment Letter, and the Company is grateful for the Staff’s consideration and
approval of this request for extension.

We
have reviewed the Staff’s comments and have set forth below, in italicized, bold type, the enumerated written comments provided
in the Staff’s Comment Letter. The response of the Company to each comment is set forth immediately
following the comment.

Form
10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023

Liquidity
and Capital Resources

Operating
Activities, page 39

    1.
    We
    note you expect the accounts receivables owed to you by SDE will be repaid within a commercially reasonable period of time and you
    report the net related party receivable balance as a current asset on your balance sheet. We also note the related party accounts
    receivable has been outstanding since at least December 31, 2021. While it may be due on demand, it appears you have not demanded
    repayment or used other means to collect what is owed. In future filings, please clarify if you intend to exercise all legally available
    means of collection and specifically disclose when you anticipate full repayment of the accounts receivable balance. If you do not
    expect to collect the entire amount within the next twelve months, you should reclassify the long-term receivable on your balance
    sheet. Also, if it is not your intent to legally enforce your collection rights, due to the related party relationship of the parties
    and the control inherent in that relationship it appears you should treat the receivable as a deduction from stockholders’
    equity on your balance sheet. Refer to the guidance in SAB Topics 4:E and 4:G.

    Response:
    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that the disclosure in future filings,
    beginning with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, will reflect that the Company intends to
    exercise all legally available means of collection of the accounts receivable owed to the Company by SDE. In January 2024, the
    Company and SDE began the process of entering into an offset agreement. The offset agreement will offset monthly payments that the
    Company makes to SDE for royalties, license fees and other operating expenses with a monthly set amount owed to the Company from
    SDE, until amounts due to the Company by SDE have been repaid or offset. The Company anticipates that it will offset approximately
    $500,000 of the amount due from SDE against amounts due to SDE for operating expenses and costs of revenues monthly. We expect to
    collect or offset approximately $6.0 million of the balance in the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company expects to collect,
    or offset, the entire amount prior to December 31, 2025 and will reclassify a portion to a long-term receivable on
    the Company’s balance sheet accordingly. As these receivables are the result of trade related arm’s length
    transactions and not due to stock issuances, SAB 4:E will not apply. Additionally, the Company intends to fully collect and/or offset
    the balance in its entirety, and as such, believes the equity classification of the balance is not appropriate under the guidance of
    SAB 4:G.

Financial
Covenants, page 41

    2.
    We
    note that on page 41 you disclose that you were in compliance with, or had waivers for, all covenants under your debt facilities
    as of September 30, 2023. We further note your disclosures on page F-20 in which you obtained waivers related to covenants contained
    in your debt agreements. In future filings, please expand your disclosures of liquidity and capital resources to address the following:

    ●
    Disclose
                                            the terms of waivers received, including how long the terms of the covenants were specifically
                                            waived.

    ●
    Discuss
                                            the potential impact on your liquidity and capital resources if you do not comply with any
                                            remaining covenants and/or are unable to obtain a waiver of compliance in the future. Specifically,
                                            you should state whether noncompliance with any covenants could lead to the acceleration
                                            of payments due under any of your debt arrangements.

    ●
    Disclose
    your actual performance relative to the covenants.

    Response:
    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that the disclosure in future filings, beginning
    with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, will expand existing disclosures of liquidity and
    capital resources to address, as applicable, the terms of the waivers received, including how long the terms of the covenants were
    specifically waived; the potential impact on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources if the Company does not comply with
    any remaining covenants and/or is unable to obtain a waiver of compliance in the future, specifically stating whether noncompliance
    with any covenants could lead to the acceleration of payments due under any of the Company’s debt arrangements, and
    disclose the Company’s actual performance relative to the covenants.

    Disclose
                                            your basis for offsetting related party accounts receivable with related party accounts payable
                                            and advise us. Clarify if you have a legal right to offset these amounts. Also, we note a
                                            reduction in the amount of related party payables since December 31, 2021. Disclose if you
                                            have repaid a portion of the related party accounts payable in cash. If so, disclose this
                                            fact and if you anticipate making future cash payments.

    Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the
    Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that the Company has a basis for offsetting related party accounts receivable
    with related party accounts payable. The amounts owed to the Company by the related party represent gaming revenue from the ARK
    mobile platforms, which, due to administrative reasons, were deposited in an account held by the licensor and related party, SDE,
    but have not yet been fully remitted to the Company. These are ordinary course of business transactions with payments terms of due
    on demand. The related party accounts payable that are partially offsetting the receivables are gaming revenues from the ARK games
    for which a royalty is due to SDE, and are ordinary course of business transactions with the same terms. The Company does have a
    legal right to offset these amounts. The Company has historically presented these balances offset and intends to offset the
    transactions reported in this line item monthly, in accordance with an agreed upon payment schedule. The Company further advises
    the Staff that the Company has repaid a portion of the related party accounts payable in cash and anticipates making future cash
    payments. Beginning with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company will expand existing
    disclosures regarding related party accounts receivable and accounts payable, as appropriate. The Company believes it has a valid
    right of offset in accordance with ASC 210-20-45-1 because:

    ●
    the
    amounts owed between us and SDE are readily determinable,

    ●
    we
    have the legal right to set off the amount of royalties owed to SDE with the ARK mobile royalties owed to us as they represent amounts
    due to and from the same party,

    ●
    the
    Company intends to set off the amounts owed to us from SDE with the amounts we owe to SDE, and

    ●
    the
    Company has consulted with its legal counsel and determined its right of setoff is enforceable by law as the debts are
    mutual, the right is recognized under common law and no agreements governing the underlying include any language negating the right
    of offset.

    Regarding
                                            the prepaid licenses, identify in your future disclosure the prepaid license which is classified
                                            as a current asset and disclose your basis for this classification.

    Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges
    the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that the disclosure in future filings, beginning with the Company’s Form 10-K
    for the year ended December 31, 2023, will identify the prepaid license which is classified as a current asset and disclose
    the Company’s basis for this classification. Included below is a draft of the revised disclosure to be included in future
    filings.

NOTE

On
March 10, 2023, the Company amended its exclusive software license agreement with SDE relating to the ARK franchise. For DLC’s,
the Company plans to release during the term of the agreement, the Company will now have the option to pay the $5.0 million DLC payment
in whole or in part, when paid in advance; or in full, upon the DLC release. No payment for any DLC under this agreement will exceed
$5.0 million.

During
the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company prepaid $2,500,000 for exclusive license rights for an ARK 1 DLC to SDE.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company prepaid $5,000,000 for exclusive license rights to ARK 2 to SDE. Prepaid
expenses — related party consisted of the following as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

    2023
    2022

    Prepaid royalties
    $ 582,500
    $ 582,500

    Prepaid licenses
      7,500,000
      5,000,000

    Prepaid expenses - related party, ending balance
      8,082,500
      5,582,500

    Less: short-term portion
      (2,500,000 )
      —

    Total prepaid expenses – related party, long-term
    $ 5,582,500
    $ 5,582,500

The
amount classified as short-term, as of September 30, 2023, is the prepaid license for the ARK 1 DLC that the Company expects to
release within the next twelve months.

If
you require additional information or have any questions, please call me at (310) 928-7432.

information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe a

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating activities, page 39
1.We note you expect the accounts receivables owed to you by SDE will be repaid within a
commercially reasonable period of time and you report the net related party receivable
balance as a current asset on your balance sheet. We also note the related party accounts
receivable has been outstanding since at least December 31, 2021. While it may be due on
demand, it appears you have not demanded repayment or used other means to collect what
is owed. In future filings, please clarify if you intend to exercise all legally available
means of collection and specifically disclose when you anticipate full repayment of the
accounts receivable balance. If you do not expect to collect the entire amount within the
next twelve months, you should reclassify the long-term receivable on your balance
sheet. Also, if it is not your intent to legally enforce your collection rights, due to the
related party relationship of the parties and the control inherent in that relationship it
appears you should treat the receivable as a deduction from stockholders’ equity on
your balance sheet. Refer to the guidance in SAB Topics 4:E and 4:G.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of our client, Snail, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SnaiI”
or the “Company”), we are responding to certain comments from the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to Amendment No. 2 to Snail’s Registration Statement on
Form S-1 (File No. 333-267483) (the “Registration Statement”) contained in the Staff’s letter dated November
3, 2022. Snail has revised the Registration Statement and is filing Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment
No. 3”) together with this response letter.

Set forth below are Snail’s responses to the Staff’s comments.
For convenience, the Staff’s comments are repeated below in italics, followed by Snail’s responses to the comments. Where
applicable, we have included page numbers to refer to the location in Amendment No. 3 where revised language addressing a particular
comment appears. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used as defined in Amendment No. 3.

Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed October
26, 2022

Cover Page

 1. Disclose whether your offering is contingent on final approval
                                            of your NASDAQ listing on your cover page. Please ensure the disclosure is consistent with
                                            your underwriting agreement.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company has updated its disclosure on the cover page and pages 9, 112 and 113 of Amendment No. 3 to reflect that the offering is
contingent on final approval of the Company’s Nasdaq listing application.

    Confidential

 2. To the extent you intend to proceed with your offering if your
                                            NASDAQ listing is denied, revise your cover page to indicate that the offering is not contingent
                                            on NASDAQ approval of your listing application and that if the shares are not approved for
                                            listing, you may experience difficulty selling your shares. Include risk factor disclosures
                                            to address the impact on liquidity and the value of shares.

Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff
that the Company will not complete the offering if it does not receive Nasdaq approval to list its Class A common stock.

Risk Factors, page 13

 3. We note recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed
                                            by rapid price declines and stock price volatility seemingly unrelated to company performance
                                            following a number of recent initial public offerings, particularly among companies with
                                            relatively smaller public floats. Revise to include a separate risk factor addressing the
                                            potential for rapid and substantial price volatility and any known factors particular to
                                            your offering that may add to this risk and discuss the risks to investors when investing
                                            in stock where the price is changing rapidly. Clearly state that such volatility, including
                                            any stock-run up, may be unrelated to your actual or expected operating performance and financial
                                            condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly
                                            changing value of your stock.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company has updated its disclosure on page 36 of Amendment No. 3.

*          *          *

We hope the foregoing answers are responsive to your comments. Please
do not hesitate to contact me at (212) 450-4658 (byron.rooney@davispolk.com) or John Runne at (212) 450-3278 (john.runne@davispolk.com)

On behalf of our client, Snail, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SnaiI”

letter. Amendment No. 1 also contains certain additional updates and revisions.

Set forth below are Snail’s responses to the Staff’s comments.
For convenience, the Staff’s comments are repeated below in italics, followed by Snail’s responses to the comments. Where

Response: In
response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated the cover page of the prospectus within Amendment No. 1 to provide

2. Please advise if your CFIUS risk factor disclosure should be expanded to reflect Hua Yuan International Limited's ownership of
your shares.

Response: The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that in light of the shareholder’s de minimis
voting power following the Transactions (as defined in Amendment No. 1) and the offering, which is expected to be approximately 1.1%
of the total vote, and the lack of influence the shareholder will have on the affairs of the Company as a result of this voting power,
additional disclosure in the enumerated risk factor is not necessary.

3. In your discussion of results of operations you cite multiple factors as impacting your results of operations but often provide
no quantification of the contribution of each factor to the material changes in the various line items discussed. For instance, on page 58,
you attributed a decrease in revenues, in part, to a decline in units sold and an absence of promotional activities during 2021. Elsewhere
on the same page you attribute a decline in cost of revenues to a decline in units sold offset by two unquantified factors. Please
refer to Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K and revise throughout to discuss qualitatively and quantitatively such factors effecting material
changes in line items, including where material changes within a line item offset one another. In addition, you should remove vague terms
such as "primarily" in favor of specific quantifications.

Response: In
response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated its disclosure on pages 57-62 of Amendment No. 1 to quantify
the impact of the drivers to the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented.

disclose the material details about the background of the spin-off, including why and how it was effectuated as well as the date the spin-off
occurred. Also, advise if there were any material plans of reorganization or separation or other applicable agreement(s) that should
be filed as an exhibit to your registration statement. Refer to Item 601(b)(2)(i) of Regulation S-K.

Response: In
response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated its disclosure on pages 2 and 74 of Amendment No. 1 to provide
additional information about the spin-off of Snail Games USA from Suzhou Snail (each as defined in Amendment No. 1). The Company
respectfully advises the Staff that because the spin-off did not change the relative ownership of Snail Games USA’s existing shareholders
or the rights afforded to such shareholders, it does not consider the agreements to effect the Snail Games USA spin-off as material and
necessary to be filed pursuant to Item 601(b)(2)(i) of Regulation S-K. The Company advises the Staff that the form of securities
exchange agreement—the agreement to effect the Transactions between the shareholders of Snail Games USA and the Company—has
been filed as an exhibit to Amendment No. 1.
