About the Game

Prepare for a mind-bending first-person adventure, as you enter the world of the Odd Gods and discover the magical power of the TRI! Master abilities that let you create your own path through an immersive universe full of unknown wonders.

With every twist of a corridor, every raised gantry over your head, every new floor of towers and dungeons in the Odd Gods’ world, TRI challenges you to think outside the box. Empowered by the TRI artifact, you place anchor points on the walls around you and conjure triangular platforms which can be climbed on, walked over and otherwise employed to negotiate the levels ahead. They’ll help you solve puzzles, reach otherwise impossible ascents, reflect light beams and even walk up walls… once you discover how to do it, that is!

A real test of spatial awareness, TRI is a mix of first-person and puzzle gameplay that will push your mind to the absolute limit!

Game Features

  • The Power Of TRI – Create your own path through each level by conjuring triangles out of thin air, then use them to solve puzzles scattered throughout the world of the Odd Gods.
  • Go Anywhere, Everywhere – Careful planning and thought can see you go almost anywhere using the triangles; think about where you place them and hunt for the mystical fox statues that allow you to move on!
  • New Abilities – There’s always something new to learn, always a new power to be earned. Want to walk on walls? Redirect light rays? Use teleportation? It’s all waiting to be discovered!
  • Replay Value – Finding your way through each of TRI’s 16 stages is taxing enough, but you can also hunt for hidden idols, beat the best time or meet fewest triangle targets, against other players on the in-game leaderboards of the Challenge Mode.
    The hidden idols also unlock bonus content like making-of pictures and developer commentaries!
  • First-Person Puzzling – TRI is a thinking gamer’s FPS; there’s no violence or killing, only the joy of exploration, puzzle solving and triangle conjuring. It’s a true test of skill and spatial awareness!

I'm not sure where I got this game from, as I have no memory of purchasing it, but I'm a pretty big fan of first-person puzzle games, so I still had fairly high hopes for this game. Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy my time with this game, and was left disappointed by the fairly lackluster story and the tedious and repetitive mechanics. This game starts by telling you that there are two fox gods, one is missing, and you're supposed to find them. Unfortunately, the game never gives you a reason to be invested in finding this fox, as the game tells you almost nothing about them. Should I be invested in saving this fox because it's a good creature? Is there some sort of negative consequence if the fox is never found? The game never elaborates (at least, not in the earlier part of the game). This makes the story feel pretty meaningless, and I was never able to get invested in it. I was hoping the gameplay would make up for the disappointing narrative, but unfortunately the mechanics w...

This is a puzzle game like no other. I play a lot of first person puzzle games and I’ve encountered no game to compare this game with. Its core puzzle mechanics are unique. The implementation of these core puzzle mechanics are well done. The level design is very creative and every level is significantly different than the previous one. The levels are quite large also. All in all this is a good game and certainly worth playing if you like an original puzzle game. But there is one word of caution and that is that this game is very long and you are probably going to get stuck many times not knowing how to proceed. It took me a long time to get far into the game. So long that I actually stopped playing the game at one point. I only picked it up many months later and then spent many hours finishing the game. I’m glad I finished the game but boy did it take a lot of effort. I got stuck many times which is one of the reasons it took so long. But in the end I only used outside help twic...

In my opinion, go play He Who Watches demo instead, it's basically what I wanted to get out of this game but didn't quite get and I'm really looking forward to the full game release.

This is one of the worst-designed puzzle games I’ve ever played. The mechanics are incredibly finicky, and the overall design feels clunky and frustrating. What should have been an engaging experience turned into a chore just to get through each level. While I can see glimpses of interesting ideas beneath the surface, the execution is extremely poor. It’s hard to enjoy a puzzle game when the core mechanics work against the player more than the puzzles themselves.
