"Award-Winning Documentary Game Atuel Launches on Android Soon"

Matajuegos, the innovative indie co-op from Argentina, has exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: their acclaimed surrealist documentary game, Atuel, is set to launch on PC and Android later this year. The game, which first captured the hearts of players on itch.io in September 2022, is now available for pre-registration on its Steam page. Android users can look forward to Google Play pre-registration soon.

Atuel has been celebrated for its unique fusion of documentary storytelling, experimental gameplay, and breathtaking dreamlike visuals. The game's acclaim is evidenced by its winning the 'Innovation in Experience Design Award' at IndieCade 2022, among other prestigious recognitions. It has also been featured at renowned venues such as the Marché du Film at Cannes and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

What Do You Do in Atuel, the Documentary Game?

Atuel offers an immersive journey into the Atuel River Valley in Argentina, a region noted for its stunning beauty yet deeply impacted by climate change. The gameplay is more of an experience where you transform into various animals and elements within the ecosystem, allowing you to become an integral part of the landscape. From soaring through the sky to flowing as the river itself, Atuel provides a unique perspective on the environment.

The game also features real-life interviews with historians, biologists, geologists, and locals, who share insights into the region's history, its current state, and the future influenced by climate change. Matajuegos collaborated with the international documentary team, The 12.01 Project, to craft these compelling narratives. The game's visuals, inspired by the Cuyo desert, create an almost otherworldly atmosphere that sets Atuel apart.

While Android pre-registration is pending, you can visit the Steam page or the official website for further details. Once Atuel hits mobile platforms, it will offer localization in seven new languages and full controller support.
