Trial by Error

Trust nothing. Die often. A 3D puzzle game that trolls you back.

Welcome to the testing facility. Please ignore the spikes. They are merely decorative.
— Richard

Welcome to Trial by Error, a 3D puzzle-platformer where the only way forward is often to fail first.

You are the test subject. Richard is your supervisor. He claims he wants you to succeed, but the sudden trapdoors, crushing walls, and misleading “safe” zones suggest otherwise. Every instruction is suspicious. Every solution comes at a cost.

Why play Trial by Error?

🚧 Trust Nothing, Question Everything
That open door? It’s painted on the wall. That solid ground? A hologram. The environment lies, adapts, and punishes curiosity.

🎙️ Meet Richard
He watches your every move. He critiques your jumps, laughs at your falls, and occasionally offers “helpful” advice that leads you straight into danger. Is he guiding you… or enjoying this a little too much?

🏃 Physics-Based Rage
Navigate a clinical 3D facility filled with hidden hazards, sudden traps, and cruel surprises. Enjoy exaggerated ragdoll physics as your character meets increasingly creative ends.

🧩 Hardcore Puzzle Challenge
This is not a cozy experience. You will die. You will respawn. You will fail repeatedly — and learn by doing so.
