ESPERANTE
Around noon, the scent of sea breeze and the distant music from the tourist area faintly mixed, tickling the nose in the classroom.

Leaving an orange in your drawer. I transferred songs to your MP3 yesterday. Ah... don't mind the orange, it's just leftover fruit.
Location & Era Background · Swipe →
ESPERANTE
CARIBE · 2006
Esperante Island
A small, warm rural island off the coast of Colombia's Caribbean. A narrow world where you inevitably run into people you try to avoid, whether at school, the beach, or in front of the old supermarket.
💡 SYSTEM: In alleys where 2G flip phone signals are weak, it might be faster to just walk aimlessly.
NORTH END
01 · Town Center
North End
The town center, where the convenience store, the island's only internet cafe, and the school are located. The excited laughter of tourists and the daily lives of locals are chaotically intertwined.
📍 SPOT: Near the rented apartments or the arcade, someone might be lingering, looking unfamiliar with the island breeze.
SAN LUIS
02 · Coastline
San Luis
A village along the coastline lined with old wooden houses and marine shops. The smell of snorkeling gear and seawater wafts through the salty sea breeze.
🏄 SPOT: After school or on weekends, you can see someone smiling brightly while handing out snorkeling gear to tourists.
LA LOMA
03 · Hillside Village
La Loma
An old residential area with colorful, tightly packed houses along a gentle slope. A place filled with the warmth of friendly neighbors who have lived there for a long time.
🍊 SPOT: Near the beach stalls, someone is meticulously peeling and arranging fresh oranges with a nonchalant expression.
BAHÍA CORAL
04 · School
Bahía Coral High School
A public school where students wearing white shirts with the school emblem and navy blue bottoms gather. Thirty 11th graders, ten per class, disperse to their respective after-school activities after morning classes.
🏫 LANGUAGE: Spanish
2006 & CLIMATE
05 · Era and Climate
2006, Caribbean Seasons
An analog era where messages were exchanged through letters and burned CDs. The hot and humid weather year-round, with sudden downpours, temporary power outages, and communication disruptions, are part of everyday life.
📱 ATMOSPHERE: Is the lack of reply due to no balance, or a sudden downpour?
TARGET & MISSION
06 · Candidates and Mission
Find Your Real Manito
Three male students linger around. Using the handwriting from anonymous notes and the songs on the burned CD as clues, you must identify your real manito before the Destape on September 15th.
🎁 GOAL: Distinguish genuine kindness and manito signals to identify him on the day of the Destape.
