Description

Mosaic is a cozy exploration and building game in which you create a living mosaic tile by tile. A mix of Stardew Valley, Minecraft, and Zelda, build and maintain your village, explore the world's secrets, and fight its guardians. With complete freedom, use your minimalist palette of tools and resources to build a rich and vibrant world where plants, animals, and machines will thrive.

The game is in early development: it is playable, the graphics and atmosphere are already defined, but important features are still being added. Players are welcome to join our Discord to follow game updates and participate in discussions about its development. We also publish regular devlogs there and announce playtests.
