The demo kicked off with a basic tutorial, going over the basics of the game, from the understanding some of the symbols and icons to connecting solved puzzles together to unlock more story content.<\/p>\n

Upon completing each puzzle, the game launches into a small scenario revealing more on the relationship between Tokio and Mirai.<\/p>\n

Asides from origami, certain puzzles of the game require players to cut out different sections of the puzzle sheets and combine them together to create a complete clue. The completed clue in itself ties back to the story of the game. The unique experience perfectly bridges real-life actions with in-game commands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In one of the scenarios, players are shown a photograph taken during one of Tokio’s birthday parties. The picture shows children holding different paper cut-outs as a clue. Players had to then find the corresponding puzzle sheets to re-create each cut-out in the photograph to solve the puzzle.<\/p>\n

Whilst the puzzles may not be particularly hard, quite some time was taken to solve the puzzles when factoring in the time required to fold\/cut the puzzle sheets for the clues. The overall experience was surprisingly pleasant and Mehabi’s illustrations gave the entire experience a wonderful touch.<\/p>\n

KAMINAZO ~Mirai kara no Omiode~ is set to launch on 28th November in Japan for Nintendo Switch at the price of 2,480 JPY.<\/p>\n
