What Awaits You in Atuel?

Atuel immerses you in the stunning yet climate-change-affected Atuel River Valley in Argentina. This isn't just a game; it's an experience. You'll shapeshift, becoming various animals and elements within the ecosystem, intimately connecting with the landscape. Soar through the skies one moment, then flow as the river itself the next. The game also features compelling real-life interviews with historians, biologists, geologists, and local residents, weaving together the region's past, present, and uncertain future shaped by climate change.

Developed in collaboration with the international documentary team, The 12.01 Project, Atuel boasts truly unique visuals. Inspired by the Cuyo desert, the game's landscapes are otherworldly and captivating.

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