Zellige: The Tilemaker of Granada - EGX Demo
About
Zellige: The Tilemaker of Granada is a relaxing, meditative mosaic-making game, set in medieval al-Andalus. Explore an Andalusian palace, create intricate mosaics, and leave your mark on the world around you!
This is the demo we presented at EGX 2021 in London. If you weren't able to make it there, or if you just want to experience the demo again at home, please do download and try it out! Do note that for the purposes of the demo, there is a 10-minute timer on playthroughs before having to return to the main menu, that some parts of the palace are blocked off, and that only the entrance is tileable at the moment.
This demo is currently only available on PC, but a Mac version is in development and should be posted on this page within the next few days.
