Crunchyroll Adds Tengami, a Puzzle Game with Japanese Tales that Mimics a Pop-Up Book

Crunchyroll's Game Vault just got a whole lot more enchanting with the addition of Tengami, a captivating puzzle game that blends the serene beauty of anime with the intricate challenge of a pop-up book. This isn't your average mobile game; it's a truly unique experience.

When a Visual Novel Meets Origami

Tengami is a groundbreaking title, rightfully boasting its innovative pop-up book-style gameplay. The game world unfolds like origami, immersing you in the heart of ancient Japanese folklore. Through folding, sliding, and manipulating the environment, you'll unravel secrets and solve intriguing puzzles.

Your adventure will transport you through dark, mysterious forests, past serene waterfalls, and into the hallowed grounds of abandoned shrines. At the center of it all lies a dying cherry tree, the key to unlocking the game's central mystery—your quest to discover why it's withering.

Prepare to be mesmerized. Tengami's visuals are stunning, bringing a classic Japanese folktale to life. The captivating visuals are perfectly complemented by a score composed by the legendary David Wise (known for his work on Diddy Kong Racing), adding another layer of immersive magic.

Tengami's atmospheric adventure is truly remarkable. The entire game world is meticulously crafted to mirror the feel of a real-life pop-up book; you could practically recreate it yourself with paper, scissors, and glue! This level of detail adds an undeniable authenticity to the experience.

Developed by Nyamyam and initially released in 2014, Tengami is now available on the Google Play Store through Crunchyroll. It's free for Crunchyroll Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan subscribers.
