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

Crunchyroll has just added a captivating new game to its Game Vault on Android, perfect for puzzle lovers and anime enthusiasts alike. Tengami, a visually stunning and subtly mysterious title, offers a unique gameplay experience reminiscent of a pop-up book.

When a Visual Novel Meets Origami

Tengami's innovative pop-up book style sets it apart. The game unfolds like origami, transporting you through ancient Japanese fairy tales. Explore by folding, sliding, and manipulating the environment to solve puzzles and uncover hidden secrets.

Your adventure takes you through breathtaking landscapes: dark forests, serene waterfalls, and abandoned shrines. At the heart of the mystery lies a dying cherry tree, the key to unraveling the game's central enigma.

Tengami immerses you in a living Japanese folktale, boasting mesmerizing visuals and a captivating soundtrack composed by David Wise (renowned for his work on Diddy Kong Racing).

Will You Play Tengami?

This atmospheric adventure game meticulously recreates the feel of a real pop-up book; you could practically build the game's world yourself with paper, scissors, and glue. This level of detail adds an undeniable authenticity.

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.
