The past is intertwined with innovation in the digital age. In Plaza Huincul he presented “Carmen, Adventures in the past, saga I”, a video game that invites youth and childhood to explore and rescue history with the contribution of its protagonists.
The game, which is now available on the Play Store, originated with the support of the Association Wikimedia Commons Argentina with the aim of being able to portray the story in a dynamic and multi-platform way.
“Throughout the experience, different points or historical milestones are found from which the pioneer “Carmen Funes invites the player to help her document the events that occurred to the community and its residents.”highlighted Sol Cabezas, a member of the project in dialogue with BLACK RIVER RADIO.
The plot focuses on three fundamental historical milestones for Plaza Huincul, including the life of the fortinera known as “La Pasto Verde”, the discovery of oil in 1918 and the ancient settlements.
