Atuel: A Unique Documentary-Gameplay Hybrid Coming to Android

Atuel, a captivating blend of documentary and experimental gameplay, is making its way to Android later this year. Following a successful 2022 launch on itch.io, this unique title combines documentary interviews with an exploration of the Atuel River, offering a powerful way to understand the impacts of climate change.

This innovative game uses a compelling approach, weaving together interviews with experts, experimental gameplay mechanics, and stunning, dreamlike visuals. Players will traverse the pastel landscapes surrounding the Atuel River, learning about the effects of climate change on the Cuyo desert and its inhabitants.

Developer Matajuegos is targeting a wider audience by releasing Atuel on both Steam and Google Play. While initially released on itch.io in 2022 to critical acclaim, this broader release will significantly expand its reach.
