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.

this game rules. Perfect length, fantastic soundtrack, thoughtful and interesting without stretching for depth, and looks great. Peak indie

despelote feels like nothing else I've played before. It has such a unique style and atmosphere, and I really loved how naturally it tells its story without feeling like a typical narrative game. The way the story unfolds, with some really nice surprises along the way, kept me engaged and curious about what would happen next. It's one of those games that is difficult to compare to anything else because it has such a distinct identity. Really special experience. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

pretty neat, compact experience of childhood! I do like how the "graininess" of the world contrasts against the hand-drawn elements of people and other notable items!
