About
despelote is a soccer game about people. Get immersed in the streets and parks of Quito through the eyes and ears of eight year old Julián. Dribble, pass and shoot your soccer ball around town, and see what happens when you kick it someone's way. Feel the city change as Ecuador comes closer than ever to qualifying for the World Cup.
A bittersweet and sometimes dreamy semi-autobiographical tale of youth.
Explore a dense town space at your leisure, full of activities, interactions, and mischief to get up to.
A physics-based soccer ball that feels good to kick around in a first-person perspective.
A vibrant world full of characters that have funny, and genuine conversations.
Photos and audio recorded on location in Ecuador are used to create a strong sense of place.

被独特的美术风格吸引,对足球完全没有兴趣,恰逢世界杯期间尝试游玩 流程中有哭也有笑,通关后望着制作人名单愣了很久 这是一部充满了中西部emo风味的意识流足球文艺片,叙事手法太厉害了,配音和声效也都极其优秀,非常能让人共情 我很喜欢这种创作者敞开心扉和玩家交流的感觉,找不出任何不推荐的理由 97/100
Jogo rápido e bem divertido. A historia do garoto Quito vivendo a classificação da seleção do Equador na copa do mundo, um jogo que é mais recomendado pra quem gosta e ama o futebol, a arte do jogo é belíssima e as historias que são contadas tbm...Jogo muito bom
Good art atmospheric game. Recommend playing in the evening alone in one go (est. 2,5h) You live small memory of a Ecuador through lense of kid in south america where football was always dominant sport in society from young age. I feel like it truthfully shows what is fun about being a kid and how selective is their brain. The world design is very interesting, simple, but with few graphic tricks it leads the player to look at the things the same as kid and somehow feels that there is no need for better textures and definitely feels better playing it than seeing pictures of the game. Also casual dialog and calming music from people in the neighbourhood really sets the mood.

i will never forget this game.
el juego es un juegazo mal pero dura re poco, tendrian q meterle algo para q cuando lo terminas tengas ganas de seguir jugando. un modo libre o misiones q aparezcan de la nada en el mapa, boludeces para hacer, juntarte con los pibes a jugar un doparti en la zapla o cualquier cosa asi. yo ya lo di vuelta y ahora entro de vez en cuando pero a los 10 minutos me embolo por q no hay nada mas para hacer. una lastima por q el juego da para muchisimo mas.
Irgendwie süß, vor allem das Ende, aber auch schon sehr nischig...
Lovely.
genuinely moving
