![]() ![]() All There in the Script: Trilby's true name, Malcolm was never revealed in any of the games, but is revealed in the commentary of 7 Days.Malcom Somerset in 7 Days A Skeptic and Theo Dacabe in 6 Days A Sacrifice fit even better, being people with no fighting skills out of their depth against an enemy they know nothing about. Action Survivor: While Trilby is a straight up action hero in 5 Days A Stranger, his return in Trilby's Notes dials back his skill and his courage to the point that he becomes closer to this trope.Abusive Parents: Sir Roderick DeFoe chained his disabled son to a wall in his basement for the boy's entire life.Note that Cabadath is just as willing to use the tip as the blades! According to what Yahtzee's design and fanarts renditions of him (accepted and approved by the author, as well) would describe, the staff was supposed to come out as four, short-bladed scythes mashed into one misleading package ◊. Would be justified considering who wields it, until you realize that said being is also a Body Surfer, so some host's limitations should be in effect. Weapon aficionados would know better that machetes can't go through muscle, bone and sinew THAT easily. Trilby pretty cleverly uses this to convince Abed that they were already acquaintances. Absent-Minded Professor: Abed Chahal is one of these.The games use it hurts it hurts it hurts: Trilby and Chzo also feature in the (mostly unrelated) Lovecraftian Survival Horror game The Consuming Shadow, the former as the supervisor and main contact at the Ministry, and the latter as one of the possible Ancients. There is also a tie-in game titled Trilby: The Art of Theft, which shares the hero and Player Character with half of the other games, but isn't connected to any of them with regard to subject matter. The four games are, in order of creation, 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes and 6 Days a Sacrifice (in chronological order of events: 5 Days, Notes, 6 Days, 7 Days, though it makes more sense if you play 7 Days before 6 Days). The following games jump around in space and time (though Trilby shows up again), but all end up having some link to the secret of DeFoe Manor. First released in 2003, the first game follows a Gentleman Thief named Trilby as he tries to burgle an old country manor, only to end up trapped inside with a bunch of other people and a lurking, homicidal being. The Chzo Mythos, also known as the John DeFoe Tetralogy or the Trilby Tetralogy, are a series of horror-themed freeware adventure games by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw.
