Mahalleden Yıldıza
From the Streets to the Stars
You're 14, your boots are torn and your ball is flat. Twenty years of life lie ahead of you. Swipe the card left or right to decide.
Three cards from the game's first season. Drag them or press the buttons, and watch how each decision moves the gauges.
The ← and → keys work too.
Every year is a season. A promise you make in one act comes knocking two acts later.
Skip the tryouts and take the exam, and a different life opens up. Whatever path you take, the neighborhood never lets you go.
The story doesn't only move through cards. You take the last-minute shot, you risk a cheeky Panenka chip, you read the headline.
Your mom, your dad, your little brother Efe, your blood brother Selim, Hasan Abi the grocer… Each of them has a heart, and every decision you make touches one of them. At your last match, only the people whose hearts you've won take their seats; on the seat of anyone who stayed away, a message is waiting.
A page you glimpse at the grocer's at 14 opens again in a hospital room at 30. Kemal Abi's envelope, your father's past, the mall someone wants to build on the neighborhood pitch: small decisions turn into big reckonings.
Carry on as your child. The pitch you saved, the ledger at home, the rival you made peace with: they all pass down to them. Your child might break the cycle you never could.
A new deck every day. How far will you get? Share your result and grow your streak on the calendar.
Your mom, your dad, your blood brother, the corner grocer, your first love. Some will lift you up, some will sell you out.
You might lift the Ballon d'Or, become president of Kartalkaya, or watch a bad knee stop you halfway. You unlock the rest by playing; some only reveal themselves to those who follow the story to the very end.
Mahalleden Yıldıza is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.
