About the Game



Zellige : The Tilemaker of Granada is a meditative and relaxing historical game, set in medieval Al-Andalus, where you play as a skilled tilemaker and design intricate Islamic mosaic patterns to decorate a merchant family's palace.



You will be able to create a various array of mosaics in all styles, following traditional techniques or let your creativity flow !



We really aim to bring you a calm experience, the sort of game you can play to unwind after a long day at work, and to get that sense of satisfaction that comes with creating something of your own. The palace is a fully explorable 3D environment, which you can walk around and admire in first-person. While doing so, you'll be able to talk to its inhabitants, the Dhahbans. They are a wealthy, well-travelled merchant family, and their home is filled with souvenirs and artefacts from across the Islamic world which will help you find inspiration and learn new techniques!
