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 perfectly blends the serenity of anime with the engaging challenge of origami-inspired gameplay. This unique title, available now on Android, offers stunning visuals and a touch of mystery that will appeal to puzzle and anime fans alike. Think of it as a playable pop-up book brought to life.

When a Visual Novel Meets Origami

Tengami truly stands apart. Its innovative pop-up book style gameplay is a first of its kind, unfolding a world of ancient Japanese fairy tales as you interact with it. 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, all culminating in a mysterious cherry tree at the heart of the game’s narrative. This dying tree is the key to the mystery you'll unravel.

Prepare to be mesmerized. Tengami's visuals are stunning, perfectly complementing its captivating soundtrack composed by David Wise, the legendary composer behind Diddy Kong Racing.

Will You Play Tengami?

Tengami's atmospheric adventure is truly remarkable. The entire game world is meticulously crafted to replicate the feel of a real-life pop-up book—so much so, you could realistically recreate the game's environments with paper, scissors, and glue. This level of detail adds an incredible sense of authenticity.

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