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

Crunchyroll has just enriched its Game Vault on Android with a game that's sure to captivate fans of puzzles and anime. The game, named Tengami, offers a serene atmosphere, stunning visuals, and a touch of mystery, all wrapped in a unique pop-up book experience.

When a Visual Novel Meets Origami

Tengami stands out with its innovative gameplay, likened by its developers to a living pop-up book. As you journey through the game, the world unfolds like origami, immersing you in the ancient Japanese fairy tales. Players will fold, slide, and interact with the environment to uncover secrets and solve intricate puzzles.

Your adventure in Tengami takes you through diverse landscapes, from dark forests to serene waterfalls and abandoned shrines, all revolving around the game's central mystery: a dying cherry tree. Your quest is to unravel the reasons behind its decline.

Stepping into Tengami feels like entering a Japanese folktale, brought to life with mesmerizing visuals. The captivating soundtrack, composed by David Wise of Diddy Kong Racing fame, complements the game's serene ambiance perfectly.
