Zellige:The Tilemaker of Granada (Build 10571481)

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! Very pleasant game, two hours went by in the blink of an eye ! I particularly liked decorating the floor tiles in the garden (very relaxing and felt like a far tinier / cosier Alhambra)Lots of options to dig deeper in the tilemaking arts, I felt like I only scratched the surface but when I compare my mosaics to those in the tutorials (and to the historical examples offered) there is a lot of room for progression / discovery ! I also loved the historical perspective and the accuracy of the color palets (cohesive, and expand progressivly during the game).Will play again !
