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.

最后足球飞翔的镜头真不错
this game is beautiful
A great little memoir. It's not even two hours long, so try to set aside the time to do it in one sitting.

He vivido mi vida alejado del futbol: Desde joven nunca me gustaba jugarlo, o verlo. Nuncia me dio interes - pero al crecer lejos de mi pais natal, me he dado cuenta que el futbol nunca estubo lejos de mi. Este juego es mas que solo un juego dedicado al futbol, es una serenata hacia el amor latino americano. Llore mucho. Buenisimo.
+ Documentaire cozy et nostalgique + Découverte d'une culture peu exposée dans la culture populaire + Maniement du ballon bien faite - Manque d'options d'accessibilités 7/10 Gooooooooal!
Beautiful game

Really beautiful
very lovely personal narrative game. not too much happens but that's okay :)
despelote is a small glimpse into a place, a time, and a people that mean something to someone. I think a sign of good storytelling is when I am able to connect emotionally to a place and a time far removed from my own life, and despelote is an example of this. While this game (or interactive story, rather) may not be for everyone, personally this tone and style of storytelling is the type that I love most in films and books. despelote was so comforting and nostalgic, and I enjoyed every second of it. Highly recommend.
