Trilby: The Art Of Theft

Trilby: The Art Of Theft is a stealth-focused adventure that follows Trilby, the gentleman thief created by Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw. Rather than simply charging through levels, players must sneak past guards, avoid security systems, collect valuable items, and carefully plan their movements. The game mixes stealth mechanics with puzzle solving and a humorous story, giving the whole experience a distinctly British indie-adventure flavor. Timing is important, but so is understanding the environment and figuring out how different tools can help you get around obstacles. Its deliberately simple presentation leaves plenty of room for the gameplay and writing to shine. Trilby: The Art Of Theft is particularly appealing to players who enjoy stealth games where being clever is considerably more useful than having a very large gun.

Review by Freeware Database:

“Trilby: The Art Of Theft is a mission-based stealth platformer created by Ben Croshaw. Your goal is to infiltrate a variety of buildings in Chapow City, steal loot, achieve objectives and get out again with the subtlety of a flickering shadow in a ninja outfit. The player controls Trilby as he embarks upon a number of daring high-profile heists in various outposts of wealth and power. With an arsenal of thief skills at his disposal, he must lift the trinkets and valuables of the idle rich while making as little fuss as possible.“
