Atuel, the Award-Winning Documentary Game, Is Coming Soon to Android

Matajuegos' surrealist documentary game, Atuel, is launching on PC and Android later this year! Pre-registration is now open on Steam, with a Google Play listing expected soon.

Originally released on itch.io in September 2022, Atuel quickly gained recognition for its unique blend of documentary storytelling, experimental gameplay, and breathtaking visuals. The game's innovative approach earned it the IndieCade 2022 ‘Innovation in Experience Design Award’ and numerous other accolades. It's also been showcased at prestigious events such as the Marché du Film in Cannes and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Atuel: A Documentary Experience

Atuel explores the stunning yet climate-change-affected Atuel River Valley in Argentina. Players embark on a transformative journey, shapeshifting into various animals and elements within the ecosystem, becoming intrinsically linked to the landscape. Experience the thrill of soaring through the skies, then the tranquility of flowing as the river itself.

The game seamlessly integrates real-life interviews with historians, biologists, geologists, and local residents, providing a rich tapestry of perspectives on the region's history, current state, and future under the shadow of climate change. Matajuegos collaborated with The 12.01 Project, an international documentary team, to bring these compelling narratives to life.

Atuel's visuals are truly captivating, drawing inspiration from the Cuyo desert to create an almost otherworldly atmosphere.

While Android pre-registration is pending, you can visit the Steam page or official website for further details. The mobile version will feature seven new languages and full controller support.
