Atuel: A Documentary-Gameplay Hybrid Coming to Android

Atuel, a unique blend of documentary and experimental gameplay, is making its way to Android later this year. Following a successful 2022 launch on itch.io, this mobile release promises to broaden its audience significantly.

This innovative title merges documentary interviews with experts, experimental gameplay mechanics, and stunning, dreamlike visuals. Players explore the pastel landscapes surrounding the Atuel River, learning about climate change's impact on the Cuyo desert and its inhabitants.

Developer Matajuegos is targeting both Steam and Google Play to maximize reach. While initially exclusive to itch.io, the game's critical acclaim paved the way for this wider release.

The release will be staggered, with Steam receiving Atuel first, followed by the mobile launch later this year. This blend of thought-provoking themes and visually captivating, minimalist aesthetics positions Atuel for a strong reception on Google Play.
