## What is Tessera?

Tessera is a handcrafted number-puzzle game where every grid has a secret.

Fill each square with the right numbers so that every row, column, and diagonal adds up to the same magic sum. It sounds simple. The deeper you go, the more it demands.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Fill grids with numbers so all rows, columns, and diagonals share the same sum
• Solve increasingly large and complex magic squares
• Progress through handcrafted puzzle sets — no random filler
• Discover patterns and elegant mathematical structure hidden in plain sight

PURE PUZZLE, NO DISTRACTIONS
Tessera is built around one idea: the quiet satisfaction of a perfectly balanced grid. No timers unless you want them. No ads interrupting your flow. Just you, the numbers, and the puzzle.

FEATURES
• Clean, minimal interface designed for focus
• Puzzles range from 3×3 starters to larger, multi-constraint challenges
• Hints available when you're stuck — not intrusive, just there
• Original soundtrack that adapts to your progress
• A fresh daily challenge with streak tracking and a spoiler-free share card
• Optimized for both iPhone and iPad

UNLOCK THE FULL GAME
Start with the free Nebula chapter. When you're ready to go deeper, one purchase unlocks Aurora: 30 advanced levels, 4×4 boards, and the linked endgame. No subscriptions.

If you love Sudoku, KenKen, or any puzzle where numbers have to balance perfectly, Tessera will feel like home.
