Ex-Rare Developers Reveal Stunning New Game Tengami

Back in 2010, Phil Tossell and Jennifer Schneidereit, two former Rare developers who worked together on Kinect Sports, broke away from the Microsoft-owned company to form indie dev company Nyamyam.

Now, the company has revealed a trailer for Tengami, a visually stunning adventure game set in what appears to be feudal Japan. The game, influenced heavily by ancient Japanese art and culture, is designed to appear and operate like a pop-up book crafted out of paper— something which is compellingly apt given the fact that it is being released on iPad (as well as PC and Mac.)

A preview on Modojo explains,

“It's an immediately arresting title, with intricate paper-fiber brush strokes painted in grainy hues of deep purple and smudges of light blue. In this paper-craft world, the gameplay literally unfolds before you: with a gentle swipe of the thumb, you can manipulate this game to become a 3D environment, unfolding bridges into the game world or revealing essential items hidden behind flaps in the paper.”

Tengami is due out in 2013.
