It's time for you to meet your boyfriends parents.

They live in 'the Forest'. A place very unlike your usual wooded area, with what outsiders would call, Monsters and Magic. You can't wait to visit your boyfriend, Min's, childhood home, a home you've become quite enchanted with from the stories he tells you. Will meeting his parents go well despite their apprehension about outsiders?  Will Min's home be as much of a haven as you hope? And what will happen when something is wrong with the Forest?

This 15,000+ word game is fully playable through the browser on pc and mobile so there is no need to download any files. Some assets can take a hot second to load but that's about all. Make sure to rate the game once you've played, it lets me know what you think!


In the Earth Under the Forest was created for the May Wolf 2025 Game Jam.

Fair warning: the Mac version has not been tested but has no reason to not work..? This is my second ever furry visual novel or VN in general, so thank you for playing. I think I've made some good improvements, maybe you're even returning after my previous jam submission. Review it, tell me what I did wrong and what I did right or could have been better, etc. 

Thank you for playing!

P.S. I'll fix the spelling mistakes and other whoopsie, after the jam.

This game has a really interesting setting, I love the Otherness of the Forest. Grams and Connor are my favourite characters. I like stories with found families. I'm glad the main character found a place to belong. I would have enjoyed a bit more development for some of the characters but I think that might have been the limitation of a game jam. Overall I enjoyed this sweet, finding your place in the world story. I definitely want to know more about the forest and people who live there.
