Despolete

Despelote is a soccer game about people. Set in Quito, Ecuador, in the year 2001, a young boy named Julián spends his days kicking around a soccer ball as Ecuador is on the verge of qualifying for the World Cup. There is a huge air of excitement around him and his community as he gets into mischief with friends, explores the neighborhood, and gets to know the people of Quito. 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.

"We're so excited to show you what we've been working on these past few years!" says Julian Cordero, creative director. "While putting together the ending we discovered some great ways to tie everything together, and we're feeling really good about it, along with finishing up our recreation of Quito."
