Earthling is a game designed for children to teach some principles of sustainability, such as recycling, clean energy and biodiversity. It takes the player to year 2498, when humans have supposedly fled to Mars due to the Earth’s depletion of natural resources. The player comes to Earth and embarks on a journey across the continents, completing simple tasks to progress through the levels. By the end of their adventure, the planet is restored and ready to sustain human life once again.
