Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I feel the game has not reached yet its full potential. I want to be able to make the game the most complete possible and my only project from now until it is finished.

I want to make it as immersive, and deep as possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“My intention is to keep it in early access until several mechanics that already live inside the game are polished enough to be considered good. Also the new mechanics soon to come will take a large amount of time.

I think that around june/july of 2027 the game will be ready for a proper 1.0”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I would like to make it so that the game is more polished, with more depth in all the mechanics. Also, new endings will be available alongside with new events.

Also one of the bigger changes i want to implement is in the ingame pitch where decisions are actually made.

Overall. I want the game to be far better than it already is, and hopefully, full access to the community will help achieve that.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game as of right now is fully playable. You can start several careers and finish them in different ways and paths as there are already several endings in the game. Also you can buy (with points earned through playing careers) perks that allow for more fun gimmicks into your new careers.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No. I intend the game to be charged the same through its whole life hopefully. The only way i see that happening is through implementing future paid DLC's to the game (which is unlikely as i dont want to limit access to features for players)”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I have previously stated through the news system of steam that i want everyone to take part on this, i do not mind AT ALL being told what is disliked from the game, what is liked, and what changes people want in the future. Obviously, the last word its still with me, but i would love the help of players to achieve the greatest game possible.”

About This Game

You start at 16 with a kitbag and two pairs of boots

Nobody knows your name. The manager calls you "kid". It is a long road from

here to a statue, and most players never make it to the plaque.

DE POTRERO is a football career game where you play as a single player:

yours. You do not pick the squad or sign anyone. You decide what to do with the

ball when it reaches you, and you make your living from it.

The match is played by deciding

Every match comes down to a handful of moments that actually matter. The ball

drops to you in the box with the keeper closing you down: do you go low and

safe, or do you go for the impossible angle? Nobody tells you which one is

the easy one, or what your odds are: you read the play, you go with your

gut, and you live with what happened.

Set pieces and one-on-ones are played as quick time events, and the bigger the

league, the more they ask of you.

A career is not played on the pitch alone

  • The week before. Rest like a professional, put in a double session, slip away to see your family, or stay up until 3 AM playing. It all gets paid for sooner or later.

  • The mixed zone. You lost and you have to face them. What you say ends up in the papers, your manager reads it, and the terraces sing it back.

  • The dressing room. A teammate in trouble, a manager who does not want you, a captain sizing you up. Things that show up in no statistic.

  • Injuries. Eight months out are felt for real: the rehab month by month, the matches you missed, and the fear the first time you plant that foot hard.

  • The legacy. At the end it all gets counted, and there is more than one ending. How you played decides which one you get

  • Your family. Your private life matters as much as the professional one. Your family and your old neighbourhood will always count on you to help them out. Or at least that is what they are hoping...

  • And plenty more.

What is in the game

  • 386 match moments with 779 decisions, different for strikers, midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers

  • 24 leagues and 452 clubs, all invented

  • 110 events between fixtures, and 34 achievements

  • Several different endings, depending on how you played it

  • Over 65,000 words of writing

  • Rioplatense Spanish and English

  • And counting: the game is constantly growing

A full career runs fifteen to twenty seasons and plays out over a couple of

afternoons. No two are the same.

The clubs, leagues and competitions are invented. Any resemblance to reality is

folklore, not a licence.
