despelote

despelote is a first-person narrative game about childhood, football, and everyday life in Quito during Ecuador’s run toward the 2002 World Cup. You roam small neighborhood spaces, kick a ball around, listen to conversations, and soak in the mood of a city caught up in a national obsession. It is less about competitive football than about how the sport filters through family, streets, school, and memory. Players who enjoy intimate, observational games with a strong sense of place should find its low-key approach appealing.
