The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A calm, meditative first-person puzzle-adventure in which you explore an ancient temple to recover elemental gems, with gentle winds and moving rock masses as your only interactive tools.

What players say

A free student project from SMU Guildhall, Trikaya is a short puzzle platformer that takes about 30 minutes. Players like the relaxed puzzle solving, but many report annoying looping music, performance issues like lag, and bugs that cause soft locks or stuck objects. It is seen as a decent demo that feels incomplete.
