About

Get in, get the loot, get out... that's how it usually goes for master cat burglar Trilby. But after he breaks into the supposedly vacated country manor erstwhile of the aristocratic DeFoe family, he quickly finds that things are not that simple. Together with a group of strangers, he finds himself imprisoned by some invisible intelligence. A force prepared to do anything to keep them there.

AGS Panel Rating

Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw's first entry in this popular series provides a solid gaming experience that entertains and even provides a few scares. 4 Cups!

Pick of the Month

October 2003

The man behind Rob Blanc is back, taking a change of tone from his usual humerous style to give us this mystery horror adventure. Take on the role of an ordinary everyday thief in 5 Days a Stranger.

The first AGS game I ever played (circa 2007)....

also, is it weird to have developed a crush on Trilby? Asking for a friend.

What an absolutely brilliant game, I can't believe I've only just now played it, interesting story and good progression, puzzles were excellent and I've never had to resort to a walkthrough. Also, loved the interview :)

This is the game (along with others in the series) that inspired me to revisit my own unfinished projects that lay dormant for years and bring them to fruition. Yahtzee's are quintessential AGS games.


By Yossarian Strange on 14 April 2013

This game has a lot of character and a really great atmosphere. Surprisingly immersive and creepy, given the graphical style. I really enjoyed this and will be checking out others in the series.
