Atuel is an environmentally focused documentary experience, out now on Android

• Atuel is an environmentally-focused documentary adventure, out now
• Explore the iconic Atuel River and hear about its history and significance
• See through the eyes of the animals who rely on the river

I think it's a fair assessment that making people care about environmental issues is one of the biggest hurdles to combating climate change. Unfortunately, most people's eyes start to glaze over when you talk about emissions and pollution. But Atuel, the new interactive documentary experience, may have a way to get people invested.

Named after the Atuel River, which runs through the Argentine provinces of Mendoza and La Pampa, Atuel is an exploration of the land and people around this vital lifeline. From a birds-eye view, you'll explore the vistas and shapeshift into different animals to explore the ecosystem from a first-person perspective; even becoming a part of the river at times!

You'll also hear real-life testimonies from locals and experts about the region, the global climate crisis' effect on it, and the intimate relationship between the land and the people who live on it.

Surrealist

While I wouldn't call Atuel a fast-paced, action-packed thrill ride, it's nonetheless an engaging experience. It also boasts an atmospheric soundtrack from musician Makunouchi Bento and a full Spanish voice-over with subtitles for nine languages. Atuel seeks to immerse players in this Argentine landmark and to inform and educate players on the world they inhabit.

It's especially important considering the significance of Atuel as a national landmark for leisure and nature alike. For the moment, you can find Atuel itself totally free-to-play on Google Play and itch.io (where it first released) to let you experience this surreal environmental adventure for yourself.
