Matajuegos has announced the PC and Android release of their surrealist documentary game, Atuel, later this year. Pre-registration is now open on Steam, with Google Play availability expected soon.
Developed by the Argentinian indie co-op, Matajuegos, Atuel initially launched on itch.io in September 2022, quickly gaining recognition for its unique blend of documentary storytelling, experimental gameplay, and captivating dreamlike visuals. The game's innovative approach earned it the IndieCade 2022 ‘Innovation in Experience Design Award,’ along with numerous other accolades. It has also been showcased at prestigious events such as the Marché du Film in Cannes and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Exploring the Atuel River Valley
Atuel immerses players in the breathtaking yet climate-change-affected Atuel River Valley in Argentina. This isn't your typical game; it's an experience. You'll shapeshift, becoming various animals and elements within the ecosystem, intimately connecting with the landscape. One moment you're soaring through the skies, the next you're flowing as the river itself.
The game seamlessly integrates real-life interviews with historians, biologists, geologists, and local residents, offering profound insights into the region's history, current state, and its climate-altered future. Matajuegos collaborated with The 12.01 Project, an international documentary team, to bring these compelling stories to life.
Atuel's visually stunning landscapes, inspired by the Cuyo desert, create an almost otherworldly atmosphere. The game's unique art style is a significant contributor to its overall impact.
While you wait for Android pre-registration, explore the Steam page or official website for more information. The mobile version will feature localization in seven new languages and full controller support.
