The art style is very minimalist, yet strikingly beautiful. 'Japan has a long tradition in handmade papers and, since all of us at Nyamyam love traditional Japanese culture, we started to experiment with different Japanese papers until we arrived at the current look of the game. 'When we decided to pursue the idea of a game inside a pop-up book, we looked for cultures with a rich history in paper-making,' said Schneidereit. Nyamyam also hopes to convey a unique sense of outside culture. The reason for the paper presentation goes beyond that, however. The game features very little text, leaving most of the narrative up to the player's imagination. Tengami will also play out with a sense of minimalism. Rather than being a traditional adventure game though, Tengami is about the experience of being in a pop-up world and the sense of wonder you feel as you fold the world to reveal what was unseen before.' Tengami is the first game to explore the concept of a foldable world as a game mechanic. Manipulating that area allows you to unfold a bridge that allows you to cross the river. If you look closer into the river, you can notice something a little off. 'For example, early on in the game you come across a seemingly impassable river. 'As a lone wanderer, you explore the pop-up book and come across puzzles and obstacles that you solve by folding or unfolding parts of the book,' she explained. Off the bat, Schneidereit noted the importance of the game's pop-up book setting. To learn more, Shacknews talked to Schneidereit about the game and this recent news. Originally set to come to iPad, Nyamyam recently announced that the game would also be coming to Wii U. Tengami brings an atmospheric adventure to a pop-up book world.
