Despelote - Slice-of-Life Soccer Adventure
Will Be Released on 2024
A new slice-of-life adventure game called Despelote transports players to Ecuador's capital city, Quito, in 2001.
The reveal trailer displays the enthralling childhood tale and the enduring passion for soccer that enthralled Quito residents at the time. The game's settings and graphics capture Quito's parks and streets through the eyes of its eight-year-old protagonist Julian.
Despelote Features
Spanish Dialogs with English Subtitles
One aspect of Despelote that jumps out from the reveal trailer is that the dialogs are in Spanish with English subtitles. Thanks to this genuine touch, players may now wholly lose themselves in the emotions and interactions of the characters.
The game seeks to recall real situations of ordinary life, such as seeing teachers become angry, receiving discipline from an older sibling, and meeting kind strangers and their dogs. The characters are depicted in 2D semi-realism, and the backdrop is in realism, further improving the experience.
Semi-Autobiographical Story of the Creator
The game holds personal significance as it is a semi-autobiographical story based on the experiences of Julian Cordero, one of the creators.
This lends an intimate and authentic touch to the narrative, allowing players to connect with the characters and the journey they undertake.
Despelote Planned Platforms
Available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC
Despelote is scheduled for release in 2024 and will be available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms. Add it to your wishlist in Steam.
As the game's release draws closer, fans of slice-of-life adventures and those intrigued by the unique setting of Quito in 2001 can eagerly anticipate embarking on Julian's heartfelt and nostalgic adventure.
