Crunchyroll's Game Vault welcomes a captivating new puzzle game for anime and puzzle enthusiasts: Tengami. This visually stunning game, reminiscent of a pop-up book, blends serene aesthetics with an intriguing mystery, now available on Android.

A Visual Novel Meets Origami Art

Tengami's innovative pop-up book gameplay is a first of its kind. The game unfolds like origami, immersing players in ancient Japanese folklore. Interactive elements involve folding, sliding, and manipulating the environment to solve puzzles and uncover hidden secrets.

Explore enchanting environments—dark forests, tranquil waterfalls, and abandoned shrines—all centered around a dying cherry tree, the game's central mystery. Your quest is to uncover the reason behind its demise.

Tengami's mesmerizing visuals bring Japanese folktales to life. The captivating soundtrack, composed by David Wise (renowned for his work on Diddy Kong Racing), perfectly complements the game's atmosphere.

Tengami: Worth a Play?

This atmospheric adventure game faithfully recreates the experience of a real pop-up book. The meticulous detail allows for a truly authentic experience; you could practically recreate the game's world with paper, scissors, and glue.

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.
