Tengami's world is built as an authentically folding three dimensional pop-up book with an all new technology created just for this game. Everything seen in the game could be recreated in real-life with just paper, scissors and glue.

Tengami on the Wii U supports posting and sharing to Miiverse, as well as a set of exclusive stamps.

Language support is available for English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, Danish, Swedish and Turkish.

History

A love for pop-up books and traditional Japan gave the spark for Tengami. By chance, Phil Tossell came accross a video of a pop-up book in late 2010 and was instantly reminded of the sense of wonder he felt when reading them as a child. He shared his discovery with Jennifer Schneidereit and they started discussing what a game in a folding pop-up world could be like. Through a long process of experimentation, starting with paper prototypes and then gradually moving into the digital realm, they arrived at Tengami's design. About 6 months into the project Ryo Agarie joined and was fundamental in developing Tengami's striking visual style.
