Tengami

Tengami begins with the opening of a pop-up book. Inside, there is a small man kneeling at the foot of a cherry tree. Using screen taps, the player guides him through paper-inspired puzzles with the goal of restoring the tree’s missing blossoms.

Along the way, the player encounters wolves, empty houses, wells, tunnels, boats, and rivers. The whole game is slow and thoughtful and emotionally evocative. There is light music playing, but no written or spoken dialogue. A few evocative Haikus are scattered throughout.

Tengami's basic mechanics are incredibly simple, but the puzzles can take a little bit of time.

• Why does the man search for flowers?
• What do you think is the meaning of that Haiku?
• Do you know any other famous Haiku?
