Crunchyroll Launches Tengami: A Puzzle Game Inspired by Japanese Folktales and Pop-Up Books

Crunchyroll has recently enriched its Game Vault on Android with a captivating game that seamlessly blends the allure of puzzles and anime. If you're a fan of serene atmospheres, stunning visuals, and a touch of mystery, then Tengami is a title you won't want to miss. This game stands out with its unique pop-up book-style gameplay, offering an experience that feels like stepping into a living, breathing Japanese folktale.

When a Visual Novel Meets Origami

Tengami is a groundbreaking game, truly the first of its kind due to its innovative pop-up book mechanics. As you delve into the world of ancient Japanese fairy tales, the environment unfolds like origami. Players can fold, slide, and manipulate the surroundings to reveal secrets and solve intricate puzzles.

Your journey in Tengami takes you through enchanting settings such as dark forests, serene waterfalls, and abandoned shrines. These locations beautifully complement the game's central mystery—the dying cherry tree. Your mission is to uncover the reason behind its decline.

The game's visuals are nothing short of mesmerizing, making you feel immersed in a Japanese folktale. Complementing the stunning visuals is a captivating soundtrack composed by David Wise, renowned for his work on Diddy Kong Racing.

Developed by Nyamyam and originally released in 2014, Tengami is now available on the Google Play Store through Crunchyroll. It's free for those with Crunchyroll Mega Fan or Ultimate Fan memberships, making it an accessible addition to your gaming library.
