    Beautiful pop-up book-esque game. Not for every gamer, but it is an experience I enjoyed!

    Pros:
    + Beautiful Art in every level
    + Wii u Gamepad integration
    + Lovely music
    + slow/relaxed pace (could be con for some)
    + head scratcher puzzles

    Cons:
    - empty levels
    - slow/relaxed pace (could be pro for some)

    Tengami is a game that you need to experience. The lush environments, interesting gameplay and the clever uses of the pop-up book world deserve recognition. It is a short game, no doubt about that, but that grin on my face never faded for a moment

    I'm a fan of games that are short but well-crafted. Tengami is definitely in this category, as you can play from start to finish in only a few hours. It's definitely worth your time, as it tells a story without words in a gorgeous setting and alongside relaxing, ambient music. It's also one of the only games to take full advantage of the Wii U GamePad; in fact, don't bother playing withI'm a fan of games that are short but well-crafted.

    Japanese art in the shape of a pop up-book combined with semi-challenging puzzles did seem quite appealing, based on screenshots. But in spite a wonderfully atmospheric soundtrack and all the creativity the visuals boast, Tengami falls a little bit short. The game is completed within two hours, similar to That game company's modern classic Journey. But what it lacks is a sense of progression and a reason to play. Also, there isn't enough content - just when you think you will finally start experiencing the game, it ends. A shame really, but as both music and graphics are stunning, it is at least a good work of interactive art.

    Original, beautifully looking, bur a bit on the short side, Tengami is a nice port of a mobile game.
