''Toree 3D'' is a 3D PlatformGame developed by Marcus Horn, also known as Siactro and released on April 9, 2021 for both {{UsefulNotes/Steam}} and the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch for the low price of one dollar. The game stars the titular Toree, a duck who has had their ice cream cone stolen by a freaky-looking reaper named Glitchy, and must navigate through various stages in order to get it back.

The game is designed to be very fast-paced, with an emphasis on flow. The levels are all almost completely linear, with a variety of obstacles to overcome. The general game design, plus the very short length, make it an ideal game for speedrunning.
