Slime Rancher is a first-person ranching game developed by Monomi Park, released in full in 2017 after an early access period in 2016. Players play as Beatrix LeBeau, collecting and feeding colorful slimes on the Far, Far Range while keeping corrals secure. The alarm became a familiar cue for players because it warns of escaped slimes and Tarr attacks. Clips of the game spread on YouTube and TikTok, and editors began lifting the sound as a danger alarm for unrelated fails, turning a specific ranch warning into a general meme alert.
