Understanding the impact of climate change can be a challenging concept for many, which is why gaming has become such a powerful tool for raising awareness. Soon, a groundbreaking new title, Atuel, will make its way to Android, promising to leave a lasting impression.
Atuel is a unique blend of documentary and experimental gameplay, set to release on Android later this year. Following its critically acclaimed debut on itch.io in 2022, this innovative game combines real-life interviews with experts, immersive gameplay, and stunning, dreamlike visuals. As players explore the expansive pastel landscapes around the Atuel River, they'll delve into the effects of climate change on the Cuyo desert and its inhabitants.
Given the wide audience on platforms like Steam and Google Play, it's no wonder that developer Matajuegos is focusing their efforts there. While Atuel initially launched exclusively on itch.io and was met with critical success, this new release aims to reach even more players.
Unfortunately, the game won't launch simultaneously on all platforms; it will first be available on Steam before making its way to mobile later this year. While this may disappoint some eager fans, the wait will be worth it for the thought-provoking themes and captivating, minimalist visuals that Atuel offers.
With its unique mix of education and entertainment, Atuel is poised to attract a significant audience when it finally arrives on Google Play.
