One curious trend we’ve seen as life becomes increasingly on-line is the popularity of handmade items. Sites like Pinterest are huge, at least according to my mother. The same goes for Etsy. And then there are [creations that are totally digital, but are made to look like they’re handcrafted](http://killscreendaily.com/articles/articles/age-digital-magic-why-are-some-game-designers-turning-paper/?ref=killscreen.com): *Tearaway, Paper Mario: Sticker Star,* and of course Nyamyam’s *Tengami*.

*Tengami* is the meditative story of a lone samurai finding his way through the tundra, conjuring visions of koi fish and cordless meditation fountains. The catch is that the frozen landscape unfolds, literally, like a pop-up book printed on well-toothed paper. When I played it earlier this year, I found it to be totally charming, and was impressed at how the puzzles smartly incorporate the act of page-turning. Judging from the latest trailer, it looks like the game is coming along nicely.
