Tengami

A really nice Game, and definitely recommended. Perhaps, however, best if it is approved;) Eigentilch is Tengami a Kind of Adventure, but not really Point & Click, but rather "pull and fold";) There are no Dialogues, nothing Written, nor spoken, nor any usual adventure gameplay. But the Peculiarity of the Game-the Design made of foldable Paper-is, on the other hand, sometimes used wonderfully; For Example, if Staircases fold differently and you have to fold them in the right Order, or the Change in seasons, or if Symbols are only visible when you pause in certain Positions while Folding. The Puzzle Design could also have been revised a little more-sometimes it is almost too mundane to just look for the Points to draw to see what it does; Then again it gets really fies when you have to visit several Scenes again and again, fold them and really look closely to find and count the hard-to-discover symbols on the "Back" of the Pictures ... Tengami is a bit short-but there is by far shorter Adventure. However, with several additional discoverable Trifles per Scene, it would easily have been possible to bring in more pepp and artistic variety, possibly even optionally Collectable achievements for Replay value. A slightly faster Speed Of travel (rather than pushing a "meditative" Style of play) would also have done the Gameplay good. A big Shortcoming is the Lack of a real Story. However the magic Flowers to Restore the Tree are so well hidden, and how we know (shall) where they will be discovered, somehow makes no Sense. The Journey seems aimless, and we inexplicably stumble across the Solutions by accident. In this Way, the "Symbolism" and "Magic" of the Game unfortunately remains as one-dimensional as the Paper that is virtually folded here. Well, sadly, quite a few Games (E.g. Hidden Obbles) are sick to exactly the same Syndrome:p All in all, Tengami is, however, sufficiently successful for a clear buy Recommendation, even in its current Form, if the Price is just cheap again. -the Images are a Pleasure, the Game is sufficiently interactive, the Basic Idea of Folding is in itself really ingenious and worth living in (as is the One-dimensionality of the Main Character as well as other small Peculiarities); And the Soundtrack is wonderfully atmospheric. If Nyamyam could now go to a small Update for a Frame narrative, logical Transitions from one Scene to the next and overcome a sufficient Amount of additional hinged Details, the Game would definitely be worth its full 8 Eurons.
