Academia Alborán

A journey through Malaga’s biodiversity, thanks to the Alboran LifeWatch project.

Welcome to Alboran Academy. Here you will learn to look closely at the biodiversity of the city of Malaga and its surroundings. You’ll have the help of the best agents for this – and now you’re one of them. Keep your eyes wide open so you don’t miss a thing. Enjoy the adventure!

Alboran LifeWatch is a biodiversity project linked to the observation, study and monitoring of the fauna and flora of the coast of Malaga and the Alboran Sea. It’s an initiative linked to Malaga’s Urban Agenda and Malaga City Council’s Climate Plan 2050. This is an action co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund. Alboran Academy will take you to unexpected corners of the city of Malaga, starting with the MUAL Alboran Museum, and from there to natural sites such as the mouth of the Guadalhorce River and right down to the bottom of the sea.

The friendly and colorful illustrations are full of very curious and little known details about Malaga and its surroundings. And Alboran Academy’s agents are ready and waiting to help you: Alicia, Bob, Can, Cosmo and Pippa.

This game has immersive audio thanks to binaural field recordings that reproduce the sound in 360º. The use of headphones is recommended to fully enjoy the experience. Responsible use of headphones with moderate volume level is important to avoid the risk of hearing damage.

Alboran Academy is an interactive visual novel developed at the Polo Nacional de Contenidos Digitales de Málaga by Novelingo for Alboran LifeWatch, with music by Krill Audio and illustrations by Cristina Segura.
