The impact of climate change on our planet can be hard to fathom, but video games have become a powerful medium for raising awareness. Set to make a significant impact in this arena is the innovative game *Atuel*, which is soon to be released on Android devices. Initially launched to critical acclaim on itch.io in 2022, *Atuel* blends documentary-style interviews with experimental gameplay, offering a unique exploration of the Atuel River.

*Atuel* combines documentary footage featuring various experts with dreamlike visuals, set against the backdrop of the vast pastel landscapes surrounding the Atuel River. Players will delve into the effects of climate change on the Cuyo desert and its inhabitants, making for an educational yet immersive experience.

With the potential to reach a wide audience on both Steam and Google Play, developer Matajuegos is strategically focusing on these platforms. Although *Atuel* was a critical success on itch.io, this latest release aims to broaden its reach significantly. However, the game will first launch on Steam before making its way to mobile devices later this year.

While it's disappointing that the mobile release won't be simultaneous, the game's blend of thought-provoking themes and minimalist visuals is likely to attract a substantial audience on Google Play when it finally arrives.
