iOS (iPhone/iPad) Critic Reviews

Looking at it as a conventional game, in other words, it's not terribly impressive – short, simple and perfectly linear. But as an interactive story, or perhaps more accurately a poem, it is superb.

Tengami is an absolute masterpiece of game development that is an immersive experience that is not to be missed making it a must buy.

A game so enchanting you’ll curse the fact it has to end. I thought the best way to sum up Tengami is via a haiku poem: Journey through paper; Origami zen garden; A brief distraction. [Episode 3, April 2014]

Backed with some solid gameplay, I think Tengami more than proves itself worthy of a place in the adventure fan's library.

The journey is captivating but it's over all too soon, and for all its beauty the game's world feels empty without other characters to speak to.

It’s a beautiful, original concept that falls just shy of something special.

A gorgeous iOS game to look at granted with an outstanding art direction. Its gameplay is not as good and sophisticated, though.

Tengami is a beautiful, mysterious adventure game, even if it's a little annoying to play at times.

A gorgeous, engrossing experience, but it's too straightforward, too brief, and too slow to be an essential adventure.

If you can stand the slow pace and suffer through a few unfair puzzles, you’ll find Tengami’s breathtaking visual beauty and slick interface more than make up for any shortcomings.
