Kick Off


Glory on the pitch takes sweat, dedication, and... making rent at the end of the month.
Seeing his national team lift the trophy and make history changed Mateo's life forever. In that moment of pure emotion, his goal became clear: he would become a professional football player. But the journey to the top is unforgiving and requires more than just talent with the ball at your feet.
In Kickoff, you will experience a football simulation that goes beyond the pitch. Control Mateo's routine in his relentless pursuit of sports stardom, facing the greatest opponent of a young dreamer: adult life. Living alone and far from his comfort zone, every choice carries an enormous weight. How will you perform in tomorrow's tactical training if the fridge is empty and the bills keep piling up?
Follow this true journey of perseverance, where a fighting spirit is forged just as much on dirt fields as it is in the math to make ends meet.
💪 The Athlete's Journey
Train hard, improve your physical and technical attributes, and earn your spot on local teams until you catch the eye of major scouts. Push-ups at home when money is short, treadmill and bench press at the club gym once you make the team.


🏭 Weighty Choices
Take an exhausting part-time job to pay the electricity bill, or rest your body for tomorrow's crucial match? On the factory line every broken box you catch is money in your pocket, and fatigue always takes its toll on the field.

🏠 Survival Management
Manage the tight budget of a rookie athlete. Pay rent, buy groceries, and deal with the financial surprises of living alone.
🏆 Constant Evolution
Feel Mateo's progress over time. Start in penalty shootouts on the dirt fields of the neighborhood, then step into the stadium of the official divisions. Turn early struggles into resilience and show the world what a true underdog can do.


📌 Playable Demo Notice
This version is a free playable demo designed to give you a taste of Mateo's journey. It features the opening chapter of the story, core routine management mechanics, and early tactical training sessions. Visuals, features, and balancing are subject to refinement for the full release.
