"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 addition that will delight fans of puzzles and anime. The game, known as Tengami, offers an enchanting experience with serene vibes, stunning visuals, and a touch of mystery, all presented in a unique pop-up book format.

When a Visual Novel Meets Origami

Tengami stands out with its innovative gameplay, which the developers aptly describe as the first of its kind due to its pop-up book-style mechanics. As you delve into the game, the world unfolds like origami, allowing you to explore ancient Japanese fairy tales. You'll interact with the environment by folding, sliding, and manipulating elements to unravel secrets and solve intricate puzzles.

Your journey in Tengami will take you through enchanting locales such as dark forests, serene waterfalls, and abandoned shrines, all of which revolve around the game's central mystery—the dying cherry tree. Your mission is to uncover the reason behind its decline.

Playing Tengami feels like stepping into a living Japanese folktale, enhanced by mesmerizing visuals and a captivating soundtrack composed by the renowned David Wise, famous for his work on Diddy Kong Racing.

Developed by Nyamyam and originally released in 2014, Tengami is now available on the Google Play Store through Crunchyroll. It's free for subscribers with Crunchyroll Mega Fan or Ultimate Fan memberships.
