Crunchyroll Launches Tengami: Puzzle Game with Japanese Folklore

Tengami: A Serene Pop-Up Book Adventure Joins Crunchyroll Game Vault

Crunchyroll has introduced a captivating new puzzle game perfect for anime enthusiasts seeking a peaceful yet intriguing experience. Now available in the Crunchyroll Game Vault for Android, Tengami combines breathtaking visuals with subtle mystery elements in a unique pop-up book format.

When Origami Meets Interactive Storytelling

Tengami breaks new ground with its innovative pop-up book mechanics - a first in gaming according to its developers. Players navigate through beautifully crafted Japanese folklore scenes that physically unfold like intricate origami. The gameplay revolves around folding, sliding and manipulating paper landscapes to reveal hidden paths and solve environmental puzzles.

Your journey transports you through atmospheric settings including misty bamboo forests, tranquil waterfalls and forgotten shrines. Central to the narrative is a mystical cherry tree showing signs of decay, prompting your quest to uncover the reasons behind its withering.

The game masterfully blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern interactivity. Complementing the striking visuals is an enchanting musical score composed by David Wise, renowned for his work on Diddy Kong Racing.

Why Tengami Stands Out

Nyamyam Studios crafted every element to authentically replicate physical pop-up books - structures seen in-game could theoretically be recreated with actual papercraft materials. This remarkable attention to detail enhances the immersive quality.

Originally launched in 2014, Tengami now joins Crunchyroll's premium catalog. Android users with Mega Fan or Ultimate Fan subscriptions can download it at no additional cost through the Google Play Store.
