    in a sea of football games that intentionally sink to the bottom every year, desepelote will hold up for a very long time

    I learned, I cried, I cheered. I'm not a football girlie, despite my dad's best efforts. But this game isn't about football. It is... but it isn't. This is a game about community, culture, home, what it means to be human. Despelote is an immersive more-or-less walking sim from the perspective of a young boy, Julián, who loves football (I'm sorry for being British). The game takes you through the ever-evolving city…

    I was expecting a lot more content. It was depressing sadly. I was hoping to fall in love with football, Ecuador a lot more, but the content was too little.
