Crunchyroll Introduces Tengami: A Pop-Up Book Inspired Puzzle Game with Japanese Tales

Crunchyroll has enriched its Game Vault with a captivating new addition that is sure to intrigue puzzle and anime enthusiasts. The game, titled Tengami, brings a serene and mysterious atmosphere to Android users, presenting gameplay in a unique pop-up book format.

When a Visual Novel Meets Origami

Tengami stands out as a pioneering title due to its innovative pop-up book-style gameplay. As you delve into the world of ancient Japanese fairy tales, the environment unfolds like origami. Players will engage with the game by folding, sliding, and manipulating the surroundings to uncover hidden secrets and solve intricate puzzles.

Your journey in Tengami will lead you through enchanting landscapes, from dark forests and serene waterfalls to abandoned shrines. These settings beautifully frame the game's central mystery—the dying cherry tree. Your mission is to unravel the cause behind its decline.

Immerse yourself in a living Japanese folktale, enhanced by stunning visuals and a captivating soundtrack composed by David Wise, known for his work on Diddy Kong Racing. The aesthetic and auditory experience of Tengami is truly mesmerizing.
