Matajuegos, an innovative indie co-op from Argentina, has exciting news for gamers: their acclaimed surrealist documentary game, Atuel, is set to launch on PC and Android later this year. Eager fans can now pre-register on the game's Steam page, with Google Play pre-registration expected to go live soon.

Originally released on itch.io in September 2022, Atuel quickly captured the gaming community's attention with its unique mix of documentary storytelling, experimental gameplay, and breathtaking dreamlike visuals. The game's innovative approach earned it the prestigious ‘Innovation in Experience Design Award’ at IndieCade 2022, along with numerous other accolades. Its remarkable journey has also seen it showcased at renowned venues such as the Marché du Film at Cannes and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Curious about the game? Check out the trailer below to get a sneak peek into the immersive world of Atuel.

What Do You Do in Atuel, the Documentary Game?

Atuel invites players to explore the stunning yet climate-affected Atuel River Valley in Argentina. More than just a game, Atuel is an immersive experience where you transform into various animals and elements of the ecosystem, allowing you to become one with the landscape. You might find yourself soaring through the sky one moment and flowing as the river the next. The game also features real-life interviews with historians, biologists, geologists, and locals, providing insights into the region's history, its current state, and the looming impact of climate change.

In collaboration with the international documentary team, The 12.01 Project, Matajuegos has brought these compelling stories to life. The game's visuals, inspired by the Cuyo desert, offer an almost otherworldly experience that sets Atuel apart from other games.

While you await the Android pre-registration, you can visit the Steam page or the official website for more information. Once Atuel hits mobile platforms, it will feature localization in seven new languages and full controller support, enhancing the accessibility and enjoyment for a global audience.
