    Looking at it as a conventional game, in other words, it's not terribly impressive – short, simple and perfectly linear. But as an interactive story, or perhaps more accurately a poem, it is superb.

    A game so enchanting you’ll curse the fact it has to end. I thought the best way to sum up Tengami is via a haiku poem: Journey through paper; Origami zen garden; A brief distraction. [Episode 3, April 2014]

    Tengami is an absolute masterpiece of game development that is an immersive experience that is not to be missed making it a must buy.

    The journey is captivating but it's over all too soon, and for all its beauty the game's world feels empty without other characters to speak to.

    Backed with some solid gameplay, I think Tengami more than proves itself worthy of a place in the adventure fan's library.

    Tengami is a beautiful, mysterious adventure game, even if it's a little annoying to play at times.

    A gorgeous iOS game to look at granted with an outstanding art direction. Its gameplay is not as good and sophisticated, though.

    It’s a beautiful, original concept that falls just shy of something special.

    Tengami's pop-up book mechanic is visually stunning, but seldom used to create unique gameplay

    Tengami is a very beautiful app with interesting visuals in a point and click adventure, but it lacks a story and character development. ItTengami is a very beautiful app with interesting visuals in a point and click adventure, but it lacks a story and character development. It needs a bigger and better purpose. Tengami is very gorgeous, but very slow and lacking. 30/100 Full Review »
