Exploring the Atuel River Valley: A Documentary Game Experience

Atuel immerses players in the stunning yet climate-change-affected Atuel River Valley in Argentina. More than just a game, it's an interactive experience where you transform into various animals and elements within the ecosystem, becoming one with the landscape. Soar through the skies as a bird, then flow as the river itself – a truly unique perspective.

The game features compelling real-life interviews with historians, biologists, geologists, and local residents, providing insightful perspectives on the region's history, current state, and its future in the face of climate change. Matajuegos collaborated with The 12.01 Project, an international documentary team, to bring these stories to life.

The game’s visuals are nothing short of extraordinary. Inspired by the Cuyo desert, the landscapes possess an almost otherworldly beauty.

While you wait for Android pre-registration to open, visit the Steam page or the official website for more information. The mobile version will feature localization in seven new languages and full controller support upon release.
