Author:Kristen Update:Feb 24,2025

Atuel: A Documentary-Gameplay Hybrid Coming to Android

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

Atuel innovatively combines documentary interviews with experts, experimental gameplay mechanics, and visually stunning, dreamlike graphics. Players explore the pastel landscape surrounding the Atuel River, learning about the impact of climate change on the Cuyo desert and its inhabitants.

Developer Matajuegos is targeting both Steam and Google Play to maximize audience reach. The game's critical acclaim on itch.io suggests a promising future on these larger platforms.
