Powerful and deeply beautiful even if short-lived and somewhat constrained... A game about the Atuel River that flows through the provinces of Mendoza and La Pampa in Argentina, that holds significant importance to the neighboring locals not only ecologically, but spiritually.

I think this is pretty special, because it got me thinking that documentaries as a genre are found in pretty much all entertainment mediums... but not video games. This game bridges that gap by including interviews of the locals about Atuel, and the visuals functioning as a companion piece showing the region's culture, topography, and wildlife. So it's a really neat thing to exist, ended up loving it by its uniqueness.
