The Little Clandestine

The Little Clandestine is a 2D top-down narrative adventure that invites you to immerse yourself in the daily life of a Chilean child during the turbulent 1970s and 1980s.

You are Pipo, a boy who, in the midst of a society fractured by a military coup, must grow up surrounded by play, affection, and hidden dangers. Raised by a clandestine family, you will learn to read, play in the neighborhood, make friends—and recognize the risks of being discovered. Every decision, mission, or minigame shapes your childhood and defines your path in a world where appearing "normal" can mean survival.
