credit to @daisyfern.bsky.social for coming up with this mechanic 🤝
took a lot of iteration to get it right and figure out all the symbols and timings but i’m glad we tried something new with it

We're just over the moon to be sharing this with you: the one and only @hannahnicklin.bsky.social on South of the Circle and how developers use in-game choices to give players space in which to perform the story.

Comfortably in my top 3 games of the year
Despelote is one of my favorite games of the last few years. Documentarian and personal and unlike anything else I’ve played. Go run around as a little kid trying to make sense of the world in the shadow of the World Cup.
