Understanding the vast and complex effects of climate change can be a daunting challenge for many. Fortunately, the gaming industry has become a powerful tool for raising awareness on this critical issue. Among the latest to make an impact is the innovative game, Atuel, which is set to launch on Android later this year following its critically acclaimed debut on itch.io in 2022.
Atuel stands out with its unique blend of documentary-style interviews and experimental gameplay, all set against stunning, dreamlike visuals. As players navigate the expansive pastel landscapes around the Atuel River, they'll delve deeper into the impacts of climate change on the Cuyo desert and its inhabitants. This immersive experience not only entertains but educates, making it a compelling addition to the gaming world.
Given the wide reach of platforms like Steam and Google Play, it's no wonder that developer Matajuegos is targeting these markets. Initially exclusive to itch.io, Atuel's critical success in 2022 has paved the way for this broader release, promising to extend its influence even further.
Unfortunately, the release won't be simultaneous; Atuel will first launch on Steam before making its way to mobile devices later this year. While this staggered approach might disappoint some eager fans, the game's thought-provoking themes and minimalist yet captivating visuals are poised to attract a significant audience on Google Play.
As we await Atuel's arrival on mobile, if you're in the mood for something new to play right now, be sure to check out our latest roundup of the top five new mobile games to try this week. We've gathered the best releases from the past seven days for you to explore and enjoy.
