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

Crunchyroll has recently enriched its Game Vault on Android with a captivating new addition that should catch the eye of gamers who enjoy puzzles and anime. The game, titled Tengami, offers serene vibes, stunning visuals, and a touch of mystery, all wrapped up in an innovative pop-up book format.

When a Visual Novel Meets Origami

Tengami stands out with its unique gameplay, aptly described by its developers as the first of its kind due to its pop-up book-style mechanics. As you delve into the world of ancient Japanese fairy tales, the environment unfolds like origami. Players will fold, slide, and manipulate the surroundings to uncover secrets and solve intriguing puzzles.

The journey in Tengami leads you through enchanting settings such as dark forests, serene waterfalls, and abandoned shrines, all of which revolve around the game’s central mystery: a dying cherry tree. Your mission is to unravel the cause of its ailment.

Immerse yourself in a Japanese folktale vividly brought to life with mesmerizing visuals. The game’s captivating soundtrack, composed by the renowned David Wise of Diddy Kong Racing fame, further enhances the experience.
