'''''5 Days a Stranger''''' is a freeware amateur adventure game created by Ben "[[Yahtzee]]" Croshaw. It chronicles the story of a gentleman thief known as Trilby and four others fighting an unknown terror in DeFoe Manor. The story progresses over 5 days, with more story being revealed each day. Dream sequences typically space out the transitions between the events of different days, and the game follows a system similar to that of the Gabriel Knight adventure game series, with a large number of verbs possible for interacting with objects, and a certain number of events which must be completed at a given point to progress to the next phase of the game. | |||
