Tengami is an adventure video game. It was released on iOS on February 20, 2014,[1] on the Wii U on November 13, 2014,[2] on Microsoft Windows and macOS on January 15, 2015,[3] [4] and on Android on November 5, 2015.[5]
The game is an adventure game that takes place in ancient Japan. The style looks similar to traditional Japanese painting, with a 3D pop-up book look. The game includes puzzle-solving.[6]
Reception
Eurogamer criticized the game, noting that while it had "a nice idea and some gorgeous artwork", it was "a mechanical MacGuffin hunt with no characters, no narrative, no substance or resonance beyond a couple of wistful haikus about seasons passing". It said the puzzles were not very elaborate, with movement being tedious.
264,000 downloads of Tengami have been sold across all platforms, with 196,000 on iOS devices, 11,000 on PC and Mac, and another 11,000 on Wii U, which exceeded Nyamyam's expected sales on the console.[7]
