About the Game

Tessera is a serene jigsaw puzzle game where the puzzles are made by you.

Take a stroll through various levels and choose a view that suits your puzzling predilection, then transform what you see into a jigsaw puzzle.

Watch hot air balloons, birds and clouds move across the sky and use them as reference to connect pieces together. Sea waves, rustling leaves and shadows cast are more than decoration and can be used to help you piece together the puzzle.

Features:

  • Unique blend of walking simulator and jigsaw gameplay

  • Dynamic soundtrack that changes as you get closer to solving a puzzle

  • Reveal hidden paths by piecing them together, unlocking new areas to explore

  • Explore 5 fantastical worlds with unique visuals

Quality of life gameplay:

  • Connect pieces freely, no predetermined slots

  • Box select pieces and move them into groups

  • Show edge pieces only

  • Preview finished puzzle

  • Shuffle loose pieces

  • Slow down or speed up time

  • Shine light into the world to highlight areas
