About the Game

the earth is a better person than me is a visual novel following a young woman, Delphine, who runs away from her life and into a forest. She realizes she can talk to the earth around her; she has conversations with the moon about love, dirt about death, a tree about desire. Each path unearths a different aspect of Delphine's life as she experiences sexuality, sex, self-image, and death.

The game has 6 main paths, sun, moon, dirt, flower, tree, and 16 endings. Each path takes around 15-25 minutes to play.
