Inspired by the sudden surge of "Let us play" threads popping up on the forums, I decided to do one myself, with my excessively dull commentary.. I will try to update at least once a day, but the next few days are going to be a bit busy for reasons that are of no importance to you mass of forum-goers and the 3 1/2 mental patients among you. So, without further adieu, Let's play the 1st in the Defoe Quadrilogy (5 days a stranger, 7 days a skeptic, Trilby's notes, and 6 days a sacrifice), 5 days a Stranger, a point and click adventure game sorta thing by Ben Yahtzee Croshaw. Also, it's got a horror-mystery sorta plot.

Or, at least a preview of it, because I'm slightly busy right now and hopefully will have time to actually play it tomorrow.
Image
Interesting.
Image
So wait, you lost your name or something?
Image
Okay, Mr. "Trilby".
Image
How many names are we talking about here? 5?
Image
STOP. You have violated the law.
Image
Do you wear a top hat or something? Imagine robbing a house while wearing a top hat....
Image
Alright kids! Let's go rob bill's department store!
Image
That doesn't look like a department store...
Image
Why would you leave your valuables in a department store?
Image
Was their like a murder or something in the store? I mean, why lock it up?
Image
If their was a murder in there, I suppose most people would like to stay away from it for a while...
Image
Totally not ironic foreshadowing.
Image
Suddenly, menu screen!

Coming tomorrow: Day 1

UPDATE LOLOLOL

Okay, here's part of todays update.
Image
DUN DUN DUN
Image
We grapple our way into the mysterious "Robs Department store". The sign says "Defoe Manor", but that probably just the local teenagers doing.
Image
Nice mask. Unless you have some sort of terrible skin disease, and that really is your skin.
Image
*Dramatic theme music*
Image
I examine the grappling-umbrella. Also, creepy creaks and whispers emanate from the house.
Image
Nothing in the room appears to be worth taking.
Image
I try to open the window, but it's stuck after it shut itself. Huh.
Image
Trilby states the reason why It won't open.
Image
What "Old-Fashioned" way out? The front door? The wall?
Image
Upon leaving the room, we encounter this pleasant old chap.
Image
What? It's not like I'm wearing a bizarre and possibly traumatizing mask.....
Image
Oh wait, I am.
Image
Me too trilby, me too. Also: I seem to be switching between writing this in first person ("I" took off the mask) and various other ways of writing that I forget the names of. (Trilby took off the mask, etc)
Image
Upon venturing downstairs, I encounter another person in this.....room, I'm not quite sure what to call it. Apparently, he's been stuck here for several days.
Image
Uh, no....
Image
He steps a bit closer and asks about the window we entered through.
Image
You're making it sound like some creepy hotel. Stop it.
Image
Based upon this sentence, I presume there are 3.1415 people in the house.
Image
He mention the other "Guests", (Jim, a young adult, Simone Taylor, someone from the BBC, and AJ, a guy whom no one knows anything about. He was apparently the guy whom we bumped into just a minute or two back).
Image
Why?
Image
Just break a window or something.
Image
Huh.
Image
STOP TALKING LIKE IT'S A CREEPY HOTEL

So Phil walks off to do some work, and tells us to gather everyone in the sitting room.

Later today I'll hopefully update again, and include a map of the house so far.
