Despelote | July 2026 Game of the Month

2026-07-01

Despelote is the Memorycard Game of the Month for July.

We chose it for July as the 2026 World Cup wraps up this month. Despelote is a semi-autobiographical game set in 2001 in Quito, Ecuador as the country comes close to qualifying for the World Cup. You play as eight-year-old Julián, kicking a ball through the city and having conversations with people as you go. It's a game about childhood, soccer, and remembering the feeling of a specific point in your life.

We're excited to see what everyone thinks!

What is the Game of the Month?

The Game of the Month (GOTM) is a game chosen at the start of every month for Memorycard users to play together. It gives you a chance to play the same game as other gamers, share what you think about it, and maybe try something new.

As long as you set the game to Playing in the current month, you'll get a badge that says GOTM on your Timeline entry for that game.

What's next?

New GOTMs are announced on the first of each month. Check out your Discover page, this blog, or @memorycardgg.bsky.social on Bluesky to see the latest Game of the Month.
