For Estefano Patricio Palacios Topic (1989 - 2021)
Estefano or “Esteto” as his family lovingly called him on 03.10.1989, in Guayaquil, Ecuador. He was an intelligent, curious and restless boy, with the desire to create games. He learned how games were made, and became fascinated by the wide possibilities of technology.

His drive infected the people around him. He managed to convince teachers to deliver video games instead of class projects throughout high school and his studies. Until he realised that teaching wasn't giving him what he was trying to achieve, so he started his own game company.

He created Freaky Creations with his school friend, the first video game studio in Ecuador. After he led a bunch of demo projects, he came up with the idea for To Leave

He created it from scratch, with shared ideals and his vision of caring for the player’s experience throughout every decision made for the game, its mechanics, the story and aesthetics.
