About Off the Pitch
Off the Pitch is a Ren'Py dating sim made by Maks, presented with animated 3DCG visuals. You play a male protagonist who was once a celebrated athlete with fame, money, and beautiful women. After one reckless night, he loses everything and returns to his hometown to coach a local college women's soccer team. The story asks whether he can turn a losing team around while facing his personal demons, using a school setting and relationship choices.
The current build is v0.9 Extra, released on February 19, 2023. Development is ongoing rather than finished, and the game began with v0.1. It is available for Windows and Mac, with English text and no censorship. The experience keeps its animated 3DCG presentation, dating sim structure, and school setting focus.
