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

Crunchyroll has recently enriched its Game Vault on Android with a captivating new addition that will delight fans of puzzles and anime. The game, named Tengami, offers a serene experience with stunning visuals and a touch of mystery, all wrapped in the unique format of a pop-up book.

When a Visual Novel Meets Origami

Tengami stands out with its innovative pop-up book-style gameplay, a first of its kind as claimed by its developers. As you delve into the game, the world unfolds like origami, allowing you to explore ancient Japanese fairy tales. You'll engage with the environment by folding, sliding, and manipulating elements 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, all revolving around the game's central mystery—the dying cherry tree. Your mission is to uncover the reasons behind its decline.

Immerse yourself in a Japanese folktale brought to life with mesmerizing visuals. The game's music, composed by the renowned David Wise of Diddy Kong Racing fame, adds to the captivating atmosphere.
